    Almond cake with peaches

    This is such a magnificent winery. The vibes are ski resort but in Paso. Love their lunch menu. The charcuterie is a must! Very busy place, very busy server, but very friendly!

    Food

    The bread and butter alone are worth the visit, seriously incredible. Paired with great wine, quick service, and a super kind host, everything about our visit was wonderful. When we went it was fairly busy. We were seated at a large, spacious table with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy.

    We chose this Winery because they offered food as well as wine. Upon arriving, we were pleasantly thankful to find free EV charging from their own solar source. They do not offer complimentary bread service. Bread is on the menu - House made sourdough focaccia with lavender butter. It was so good, totally worth the price. Slight crisp on the outside, spongy interior, but chewy from the sourdough gluten. Hint of sweet in the background. Butter is light and aromatic. This amazing dish is just the bread. Roasted Chicken was tender with a light sauce. Pasta with mushroom sounds simple but it was yummy and perfect. For wine tasting, they offered a complimentary welcome taste of Pino Rose, light and refreshing. The tasting had 4 wines, my favorite was the 2022 Reserve Chardonnay. It was buttery and smooth. The building, scenery of the vineyard hills, and the flower garden were all beautiful.

    This winery is absolutely beautiful. It's definitely upscale but I didn't get a snooty vibe at all. I say that because another winery tried to discourage us from going saying they were snooty and rude. I didn't get that. What I did get was a winery with professional level staff and a commitment to standards. It's definitely a nice place for a special occasion. The membership seems to be worth it if you live in the area. The wine and food aren't cheap here but I don't think it's overpriced for the experience and quality. The chef belongs in a top restaurant in NYC or LA. I can't believe the selection on the winter menu. Our party of 4 couldn't narrow it down so chose a lot of food. No complaints. I was told the Waldorf salad was underwhelming only because it came out after other dishes that were so much better. I couldn't try it since I'm allergic to nuts. It looked beautiful. The duck was cooked perfectly with a pink center. The black rice was amazing. I wish I knew how they seasoned it. The octopus was tender. I think it came with parsnip which was tasty. I could've licked the bowl of the mushroom risotto. It's that good. It's made with farro which is an interesting twist. The mushrooms were so meaty. Another highlight for the table was the fingerling potatoes with the onion dip. The potatoes were smashed and crispy. The onion dip was flavorful but too small of a container for our group! We were going to skip the sourdough focaccia but the server recommended it and I'm so glad she did. It was really light and airy. The orange blossom butter was a nude accompaniment. We also ordered the olives which are good but not necessary for all the food we ordered. And I almost forgot the side of goat cheese. I've never seen it as solid with crystallization. I can only imagine how good a charcuterie board would be here. I enjoyed all of the wines in the tasting except for the Chardonnay. That's not my favorite anyway. My favorites here are the Grenache and Syrah. The prices are over $65 per bottle. I highly recommend this winery for a special occasion. Or a membership for locals!!!!

    Fantastic experience. Came here for a weekend lunch and had beautiful view of the vineyard. Service was great, detailed. We did the tasting as well which was very informative. Lunch was delicious! Grilled asparagus with burrata, hummus like appetizer. The sourdough focaccia was worth it! Mains were a pork dish which was succulent and the pasta was a meat ragu. All fantastic. Can't wait to come back.

    This winery was nice, but we caught them Closing for a private event that evening and we couldn't get lunch served. The GM was gracious and gave us a complimentary glass of wine as a consolation. The atmosphere was happy and there were many people there eating and drinking. They suggest you make reservations for eating. We wound up buying a bottle of wine here, As it was good.

    Crispy potatoes with onion dip

    Niner is the best winery dining experience on the Central coast. For being so upscale, it's still refreshingly approachable and friendly. Our server, Dylan, was so warm, informative and made excellent suggestions for pairings. Food wise, Chef Brendan Collins is a rising culinary star. He knocked it out of the park with selections to delight even the most wary palates. Our favorites were the Duck Breast with parsnip, forbidden rice and blood orange paired with delicious Pinot noir, and the perfectly cooked Grilled Octopus with potato puree (+potato chips!) and pickled onion paired with Chardonnay. Don't skip the focaccia bread with season spreads, either! Can't wait to go back and try the fried chicken and the short rib.

    Folks the food here is unique and presented as if it is a piece of art and the flavor is simply amazing. The service yes amazing Sydney who was with us during our tasting was wonderful and so friendly what a great representative of the Niner philosophy. The ambiance of this estate is magnificent now that says a lot considering it sits in the middle of wine country. So next time you pass through the area stop by and spoil yourself here. Cheers SYOYCVN

    Entrance to the Chef's Garden.

    Stopped by for lunch and wine pickup. The chef at Niner is superb and has a deep understanding of how to balance flavors and textures. The grilled asparagus and bucatini pasta were complex and delicious. The menu utilizes ingredients from their adjacent garden. After lunch I took a stroll through the Chef's Garden to appreciate the flora and work that goes into managing it. Excellent wines, deftly prepared food, and a great staff in a beautiful setting make Niner highly recommended!

    Niner is usually our first stop when we travel up to Paso. We have a tasting with our lunch. They make the best Focaccia! Great lunch with some great wines! We have lots of Niner wines at home and enjoy them! Fog Catcher is one of our favorites. We enjoyed our tastings and asked for additional ones that we planned to purchase. These wines are so good, they sell themselves. The areas for tasting are very nice and relaxing. We arrived early and started in the garden area (lots of veggies on the vines!) where found some relaxing seats while we waited for our reservations. Like most wineries, they greet you with a glass of wine, so we tasted while we enjoyed the scenery. The grounds and vineyards are beautiful from the winery but also from the road. Very impressive landscaping!

    We recently visited Niner for an indoor lunchtime reservation and can easily say it was an unforgettable experience - one we'll be adding to every future Paso trip. We arrived a bit early for our reservation. While our initial interaction with the host left us feeling a little uncertain, he offered us a complimentary glass of bubbly and directed us to an outdoor area to wait until our table was ready. Once we were seated, our server Hannah completely turned that first impression around. She was warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcome from the start. Along with our wine tastings, we ordered the focaccia with lavender butter and salt - WOW - as well as two pastas to share. Everything was outstanding. The food was incredible, the wine was delicious, and the service was attentive without ever feeling rushed. We felt comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyed our entire visit. We came home raving about the experience to friends and family and are already looking forward to our next visit.

    A beautiful winery with excellent service and stunning views. Wish our party hadn't eaten before coming here because I would have loved to try the food on the menu which looked delicious. A bit disappointed they were out of the Sauv Blanc as that's what I really wanted by the glass. All of the tastings werr good but since it was a bit warm outside, I was not keen on that many reds in my tastings. Also wasn't a huge fan that they had all of them poured in advance of us getting to the table.

    Potato wedges - amazing
    Todd M.

    Fantastic experience! Everything was perfect. From the wine tasting to having lunch. Literally a perfect place to have a romantic Paso Wine experience. The grounds are simply beautiful and quite relaxing to have a glass of wine. The customer service was nice and inviting. Lunch was well,portioned and adequately priced. I give a short description of each food item with the photos. The wine leans more to the dry palette side but all the wines we tried out were good. I suggest the estate reds out of the lineup . Overall a can't miss option if you're in the area. Highly recommended

My husband had the wine tasting and he absolutely loved it he bought the zinfandel for himself and the rose for my mother-in-law.

It was so fun to be able to chat with the owners who were actually there as well as the husband and wife that help run into wine tastings they were such a great couple to talk and learn from. If you are looking for a fun down to earth winery with people who can just talk about wine and life with a beautiful view I highly recommend seven angels!
