For $45, I would expect a decent taste, not a sip. My wife and I decided not to buy wine this time, nothing really stood out. I did decide to buy a jar of olives; the olives had a slight hint of almonds, not a fan. I attempted to close the jar and the lid would not lock in place (unable to get a tight seal). I returned the jar and asked that the hostess notify the own of this issue. The server was great, friendly, and professional. My experience, during a $45 tasting, one should have consumed the equivalent of at least 3/4 of a bottle (I could be wrong). During this tasting, we consumed the equivalent of a half glass of wine.

Recently, we came back for a mini reunion and made Eberle a place where our party of 8 could relax, unwind, and reminisce of yesteryears while enjoying the beautiful views from the covered vineyard deck, and needless to say we absolutely had a blast! The tasting experience was still complimentary thanks to the blessed heart of Mr. Gary Eberle (thank you kind Sir), who also happened to grill up some delicious meats and smoked sausage that day (Santa Maria style), which was the perfect pairing to his wines. Special mention to Stephanie, who did an phenomenal job guiding us through the last cave tour of the day...and Mr. Eberle, she truly did your story justice (and then some!). WOW! We left there with plenty of purchases as well...too good to pass up! Oh and ladies, give their Rosé and Muscat Canelli a try...so refreshing! CHEERS and happy eating till next time...

Huge thanks to that goes to our host, Tamara. She was an absolute delight! Our glasses were never empty and she was just such a funny, quirky host. About halfway through our flight, she took us downstairs for the cave tour. Wow, what a stunner! Such a unique touch to this winery. The other incredible thing is that Eberle doesn't charge for tastings so you might as well pick up a bottle or two :)

The wines themself are fabulous at DAOU, we went home with a Pinot and a reserve Rosé. The property itself is absolutely stunning with gorgeous views of Paso Robles. A bonus at this winery is they offer quite a few food options which was great as we had just drove about 4 hours from LA and were starving. The Margherita pizza did not disappoint and was made in the outdoor pizza oven. I can't recommend DAOU enough for a tasting in a magical setting. We'll definitely be back!

So naturally, I came home, poured a glass, and started researching the wineries afterward like the responsible citizen I am. Santellan Vineyards immediately stood out for feeling warm, family-centered, and genuinely connected to the kind of relaxed hospitality that still makes Paso Robles wine country feel special. Even through the event itself, you could feel the collaborative spirit behind the Pleasant Valley Wine Trail wineries -- people supporting one another instead of competing for attention. I especially appreciate that the PVWT wineries also help support local agricultural scholarships and education efforts throughout the community. Beautiful wines are wonderful. Beautiful people matter more. A genuinely lovely evening all around, and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again at the Under the Estrella Sky Charity Dinner in August.

Domaine Degher Winery, San Miguel, CA, March 28, 2024…read more Domaine Degher is a beautiful little tasting room at the top of a hill looking out onto the Salinas River and surrounding valley below. It is owned and operated by Mr. Dennis Degher, a kind experienced gentleman who knows how to show his guests a nice time. Wine tasting is $30 per person, waived with the purchase of wine. Wine tasting is by appointment only. We made an 11 am appointment for a Thursday morning. There is an automatic gate at the bottom of the hill and you call to have it opened when you arrive. Mr. Degher greeted us when we arrived at the top of the hill. He has an indoor and outdoor tasting area. It was such a beautiful morning, we did our tasting on the patio outdoors. We tried several wines, including a Viognier, Chardonnay, a couple grenaches, a few cab blends, and a beautiful unfiltered port. All the wines we tried were very good. After tasting wine, Mr. Degher took us for stroll around his property. He gave us cuttings of rosemary, lavender, oregano, and bay leaf. We bought 4 bottles of wine, which waived our tasting fee. Mr. Degher is also an accomplished musician who has composed and performed many songs, which he has recorded and can be purchased on CD. Don't miss an opportunity to visit this beautiful little gem at the top of the hill!

Absolutely amazing experience!…read more Family owned vineyard and delicious wine tasting. Came here on a weekend - they're open 7 days a week and close at 4 pm; last walk in at 3.

Will definitely look into their jeep tour next time!

There's a good story that goes with that name and no - it's not about the Jeep. Outside the tasting room is a nice covered patio. This was our last and one of our best stops in Paso.

The tour started at 10am cause it would be too hot to be outside in the afternoon. Our tour guy was very professional and knowledgeable about this massive vineyard resort. The tour took about an hour and half and finished with wine tasting in the resort tasting room. We were introduced to the entire property, history and facts about this winery. I really liked the cute goats on the ground. I was worried about them being in the heat and out in the sun. But our tour guy assured me that they made sure the animals stay in shaded areas and drink enough water to stay hydrated. The arts of this place are just fantastic. Owner is a big art collector so he covers quite a few cultures including Buddha (my faith)! All the arts are from the original countries so they are authentic. I loved the amazing art installations throughout the vineyard. My sign Virgo was on the top of the hill so we had to do a mill hike to see it. There is an art tour that we will do next time. I really want to know the details and histories of all the arts here. I was so glad that we decided to do this tour. If you ever visit Paso Robles wine country you might want to check this winery out. The prices were reasonable at $45 per person, $30 for resort guests and complimentary for members (2 people). The hours are Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays at 10am. Reservations are required. Ps. I'd suggest not visit in summer, central coast summer temperatures are unbearable!

Our plans changed and instead of having 3 people for a tasting, we ended up having 5, and they were able to accommodate us no problem. We chose to sit outside where we could view some vineyards across the street. Of the 3 wineries we visited, this is the only one where they brought the wine tastings to us rather than doing the tasting standing at the bar. It made for a more relaxing experience in my opinion, and our group was able to talk and eat the charcuterie board with enough space on the table. The tasting was quite generous, and at the end of the tasting, the owner asked us if we wanted any additional tastes of anything which was a really nice touch. I also really enjoyed hearing the owner's story and which grapes they grow and where they grow on the property.

Bob and Maggie embody that same philosophy: humble, kind, and effortlessly welcoming in a way that's increasingly rare. And Melissa? She elevates the entire experience.

My experience with Vino Vargas began when I made my appointment and Pedro (owner and winemaker)…read moreinquired how I found them. I explained I had been to a few other wineries on the San Miguel side and he said, you know, we're part of the Pleasant Valley Wine Trail (13 wineries on the San Miguel side). I didn't even know about that, but come to find out some of the wineries I previously visited were part of the trail. I was thankful to Pedro for this, as it helped me plan out the rest of that day on the trail. This particular trip to Paso was a few days before the Labor Day holiday weekend. I wanted to get away, but also wanted to be as safe as possible, by going at a time where I felt there would be fewer people. In the morning a few hours before my visit, Vicky called to confirm my appointment. I appreciated that and I'm sure she did too. Vino Vargas is on the far end of the trail, so it's a little bit of the beaten path, but so worth it. Because appointments are highly recommended during this time of COVID, I happened to be fortunate enough to be the only one at the winery at that time. It was such a great experience. I was able to have a great (socially distanced) conversation with Vicky. Learned so much about her and Pedro's wine-making journey, and the wines they make. I suspect it's not something that would happen with much regularity on any non-COVID style scenario where tasting rooms are typically full or busy. The wines were also delicious. I'm not much of a white wine drinker, so I passed on that option on the tasting menu and went straight for the reds. I wound up buying four bottles - 2017 Toro Tinto Tempranillo, 2016 Rio Ruso Pinot Noir, 2017 El Taxi Cabernet, and Paso Rosa Rosé Dessert Wine. I was very luck to have gotten one of the very last bottles of the Paso Rosa and I was thrilled, because it is absolutely delicious. If you can make Vino Vargas part of your Paso Robles adventure, I would highly recommend it. Pedro and Vicky are the nicest and so love what they do. Their wines speak so much about the care they take in making them.
