THIS is why women run away to Paso Robles wine…read morecountry with "just a few friends" and somehow return with wine memberships, new favorite humans, and absolutely no regrets. Four Sisters Ranch hosted one of the warmest, most welcoming events I've attended in Paso Robles wine country. Between the music, wine, food, art, vineyard views, genuinely kind people, and one VERY sweet winery dog, the entire evening felt joyful instead of performative. I especially loved connecting with Serena and Elizabeth and learning more about the story behind Four Sisters Ranch -- a winery built from decades of grape growing, craftsmanship, medicine, wellness advocacy, creativity, and community connection. And honestly? Finding out Serena studied both bio-engineering AND mixed media art may have been my favorite surprise of the evening. That is exactly the kind of beautifully layered human Paso Robles seems to attract. But beyond the hospitality, what really stayed with me was learning more about the Pleasant Valley Wine Trail collective itself -- wineries supporting one another while also giving back through scholarship and agricultural education efforts benefiting the local community. THAT is what makes Paso different. The people here still feel connected, and the wineries still feel human. Already looking forward to returning next Saturday for the Wine Club Pick-Up Party and seeing everyone again at the Under the Estrella Sky Charity Gala in August.

They were super sweet and accommodated us within a few minutes. We got seats outside which was really nice. Brian was helping us with our tasting and was awesome. He knew so much about the wine and loved how passionate he is about what he does. To our surprise, since we don't ever get a tasting like that, he stayed with us the whole tasting. That was really nice since as we were tasting we had more questions about the wine, about the winery, about the owners, and we also fell in love with the wine and winery. Overall, such a cute winery. If you are considering coming, you should go and to be on the safe side make reservations so you don't miss out in tasting their wine. We got a few bottles before we left, and can't wait to drink them at home.

I love Paso and want to come back. Absolutely in love with this spot!

The tasting room was stunning and our host was super friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the wine, properties, and custom labels they make for their wine.

It was also super cute that they made a custom welcome sign because we had made a reservation too. Highly recommend this tasting experience.

Highly recommend you visit. It's private, so reservations is a must. Enjoy!

I've done a dozen wine tastings in Paso Robles and this was by far the worst…read more Starting off with the worst - the service. The staff were neglectful. 45-50 went by between pours. Staff were just sitting around chatting amongst themselves, not checking in on guests. Second, when they did have time to come by, they harassed me about my 2 year old and told us to keep an eye on her and made sure we were watching her. Our party had 7 adults and one child - and one of us were always with her (there's loose roosters running around, and droppings everywhere - it's not a space for unsupervised play). The wine was mediocre. The food options were terrible. Even if I didn't have a kid, I would skip - there are far better wineries, with better wine, staff, food, and prices. This place is not worth anyone's time.

The woman who hosted our tasting was fantastic and really elevated the experience with her service (we unfortunately can't remember her name, but she works at Jada Winery). Overall, a wonderful stop--we'll definitely be back!

This was my first time here but I believe one of the other person in my group had been here prior…read more It's not a vineyard, only a tasting room just outside Paso Robles. We called to say that we were running a little behind which they were ok with. When we arrived, we were the only one there. The property itself isn't that big. Somewhat of an industrial area. A cute little seating area on the patio followed by a cozy lounge area and then you have the tasting counter. There's also the barrel room area which I believe your allowed tasting in as well but seemed more for an event. Which one was either happening that evening or the following day. The gentleman working was the sweetest. Welcomed us and took very good care of us. Explained the wine which is always a must. I'm more of a red drinker but some of their whites were excellent. Oh, the bubbles to begin with was great. It's more of a mom and pop place but tasty. During our tasting, people did start to arrive which was nice and I believe the owners were there as well. Preparing for the event happening later. The pours were great and the wine was quite nice. The whole experience was very fun. Compared to the other wineries which are pretty massive. This experience was more of a one on one as we were the group starting off at the counter. It was great. A fun little tasting room tucked away but quite nice.

The wines were terrific. In a region that is quickly out-pricing a lot of people, it's nice to see affordable but fantastic wines still being poured. I highly recommend Glunz for a casual and comfortable wine tasting.

A cute little winery set up on the hill off of 46, out of sight. I stumbled across Mitchella while…read moredoing a search on Yelp, and am quite pleased I chose this to be my one stop before moving on to the next city. The tasting at Mitchella Vineyard and Winery is $20 for 6 wines, with mindfully curated cheese pairings. (A fantastic deal considering the seemingly skyrocketing cost of everything.) The tasting fee is also waived with the purchase of 2 bottles, which is the route I opted for after completing my experience. Upon arrival I was instantly greeted by Lizzie, as she patiently and quietly waited for me to exit my car. She wiggled her butt toward the entrance, encouraging me to follow. Sweet little start to the day, I'd say! (The winery pup in case you haven't figured that out.) ;-) Rachel quickly greeted me and got me seated next to a heater in their enclosed patio, and the paired adventure began. The Viognier was paired with Kokos, a coconut Gouda cheese. Very surprising on the palate, and the wine definitely emphasized the coconut, while the cheese brought out the pineapple of the wine. The Chardonnay had a crisp mouth feel but still just the slightest hint of that butteriness I tend to love in my chardonnays. The subtle saltiness of the benning goat Gouda smoothed out the crispness of the wine. The Cheap B*st*rd (since I'm not sure what Yelp decides doesn't work for them), was quite enjoyable as a stand alone. For me it had the nose of what I would consider to be darker fruits and a generally more jammy wine, but it was smooth on the palate. The white Stilton with cranberry that it was paired out helped bring forward some of the fruit flavor, but the cheese itself wasn't my favorite (hence the stand alone aspect). The Tempranillo would be my grab a glass and a book and plop down by the fireplace (or on my balcony wrapped in blankets) type of wine. It didn't feel heavy and was just a nice sippable red. On the nose, for me, was a very dark red kookaburra licorice. It had a smooth, light finish and paired quite well with the mimolette (which I will forever know as the cannonball cheese thanks to Rachel!) Presumptuous, a zin, had what I consider to be a jammy mouthfeel (as I still can't figure out how exactly wine connoisseurs identify that!) It was paired with a Boschetto truffle cheese and I feel it brought out a very mushroom forward (favorable) taste when put together. For me, it isn't always about what can the food do for the wine... I love to experience what the find can do for the food! Give me a nice side dish of garlic sautéed mushrooms with a glass of this zin, and pretty sure I'm one happy girl. The only potential downside to me for this winery is that their restroom is a portable. While considerably clean, it's definitely a tight squeeze if you're a bigger girl like myself. Deal breaker? Not a chance. I look forward to a future stop when the vines are green and views expansive!
