The wines are always delicious, and I love their outdoor setup with the cabanas and high-top seating. Since it was a last-minute stop, they didn't have availability for a tasting, but they did let us do bottle service outside. We loved sitting outdoors! It was a super hot weekend, so it was definitely hot out there, but thankfully there was a nice breeze that felt really good. We chose the GMS, which is a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah, and we all loved it. Such a beautiful, rich red with a really smooth finish. We always love Austin Hope wines, and as usual, this one did not disappoint.

We checked in and were treated to a tasting of their Zinfandel Nouveau upon arrival while they got out table ready... nice and refreshing for a warm afternoon. We were seated in the separate dining room building across the patio with lovely panoramic views of the vineyards on one side and a floral garden on the other. Josh, our server, poured our 4 other shared tasting flight as we perused the menu... Chardonnay, Grenache, Syrah and Super Paso (red blend). Wines were all lovely, but our favorites were the Zinfandel Nouveau and an extra treat pour of Zinfandel. The food was delightful too... * Focaccia with Avocado Butter -- So good (and I don't usually indulge in bread). Nice lightly crunchy crust with soft chewy centers. * Marinated Olives * Golden beet salad with arugula, picked onions and artichoke feta dip -- yum, and perfect dipping to finish off the focaccia. * Fresh Grilled Halibut with a mole Blanco sauce -- Fresh caught from nearby Morro Bay. Perfectly grilled, moist and flavorful. Excellent! Good food paired with food wine, great service, and beautiful surroundings...We look forward to visiting again.

So all that energy spent on how difficult it was to get a table this late in the game should have just welcomed us in. Even the entry bar had just 2 people seated. We didn't care for the wine so we won't be back.

Their generosity paid off because we left with 3 bottles. The husband and wife owners were out there meeting the customers, answering questions, and socializing. We enjoyed speaking with the wife, Jacqueline. Our dog enjoyed it too! Overall, a really great afternoon, in a welcoming, non-pretentious environment. We highly recommend!

Long story short, we had just dropped off our only daughter to her university and staying at Summerwood was to be our "we're not ready to drive home yet" staycation as we are now officially empty-nesters...and yes its as bad as everyone says.., lol..anywho...on to the review! First off, the people here are amazing...they really went above and beyond. I cant even imagine what we looked like at the time, where any convo could've sparked a rando cry session, but the people there were amazing! I have no idea what I had expected from this trip, but they somehow did and delivered it graciously. This is one of those places whose employees show pride in their work. Breakfast was killer...legit solid breakfast. I had the Avocado Toast and wished I had ordered the Benedict...good luck choosing which breakfast to choose, but it was all presented impeccably, and the taste was definitely top tier. They said that the chef is well known in the area and cooks for some expensive clientelle, and I have zero reason to doubt from the presentation that was given us. Bonus points if you can score those killer cookies that have out. As for the ambiance...super cute romantic walks through the vinyard are just magical. I attached a picture of that view in this review. Rooms were all super clean all decorated in a very cute "modern farm" type motif, but with nice upgrades to make sure you know you are being taken care of. We had their sparkling white and one of their reds and they were both great wines...I am not a pro, I have two categories of wine. Wine I like and wine I don't like. I will drink both as I was taught to never waste food or drink, but in this case both were super enjoyable. Again my thanks to the staff there as you really had an impact on two lost souls...two people who desperately needed the hospitality y'all provided endlessly. Thank you again!

She did an excellent job explaining the wines and not rushing us. I was impressed with the wines so I joined the wine club.

## A Truly Unforgettable Experience Atop Daou Mountain…read more **Rating:** 5/5 Stars Our recent wine-tasting experience at DAOU Vineyards in Paso Robles was nothing short of magical, largely thanks to our exceptional Estate Ambassador, Lisa Rader. Perched high above the valley on top of DAOU Mountain, the breathtaking 360-degree views set the stage, but Lisa elevated the entire visit into something truly extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, Lisa's warmth, extensive knowledge, and genuine passion for the estate made us feel completely welcome and cared for. She guided us through an incredible flight of world-class wines with remarkable expertise, sharing the rich story and dedication behind every pour. Her personalized touch and engaging storytelling turned a simple tasting into an immersive journey that we will never forget. The combination of stunning mountaintop scenery, phenomenal wine, and Lisa's peerless hospitality made this the absolute highlight of our trip. If you have the privilege of visiting DAOU Mountain, requesting Lisa Rader as your ambassador is an absolute must!
