I am going to try my best to write a balanced review, because #1 we love Justin Wines and are members of the Wine Society, and #2 overall we had a good stay and staff were friendly. If there were a 3.5 stars, I'd do that. We were in the Isosceles Suite, which is lovely. You are greeted with a bottle of wine which is also lovely. In addition, you supposedly get a free tasting at your meal (more on that later). FYI - each special thing that you receive is a one-time only - regardless of how many nights you stay. That includes the cheese plate, which we devoured on Sunday night because the restaurant was not open. Since we were also there the next night with no restauant, it would have been thoughtful and appropriate for the Inn to supply a cheese plate again. The woman who took care of our room was very helpful and pleasant. The bedroom was comfortable and the beds were good. The bathroom was spacious, but the large and oddly shaped tub was just plain awkward and a bit dangerous. The shower was such that you had to stand in a very narrow spot (I wish I had taken a photo of this) and the soap and shampoo and conditioner were all in very heavy ceramic jars with wide mouth lids. If you dropped one of those on your feet? Trust me, I made sure I didn't. Also, the water got into the jars despite trying to avoid that (sorry for nitpicking here but a room that goes for $720 a night should be perfect). Few outlets near the bed, although they are sprinkled around the room and very poor wifi. Breakfast. You had better not be fussy. The chef makes some wonderful dishes for breakfast, but there are no options, not even a side of toast. For example, I had a delicious chorizo omelet, but it was on top of avocado toast, which I dislike. The side of fruit and yogurt was the only option. The first morning we had a very tasty small quiche along with the fruit and yogurt and OJ. Again, no toast, bread, etc. By the second day we knew enough to bring back some baked goods from town. That shouldn't be necessary. I know others have criticized the kitchen but we didn't use it except for coffee. If you stay on any of the 4 nights that the restaurant is not open, be certain that you bring food from town or are prepared for a very dark and windy road back to the Inn - if you go out to a restaurant. On Sunday, we ordered extra food from lunch, only to discover that what we ordered (the flatbread) was so greasy we threw it out and we ended up devouring the cheese plate which was pretty small for 3 people. We happened to visit when the area was having major rain storms. Our bad. When we left in pouring rain it seemed fine, however returning (thankfully before dark) we found a tree that had fallen and was blocking the road that led to the Inn. No cell service, no wifi - the navigation system thus not helpful - and only because I remembered seeing some small roads on a map did we (with luck and no further fallen trees) get back to the Inn coming from the other direction. The staff told us the next day that they were shocked we had gone out in the morning, but no one thought to call to see if we got back at night. No one was staffing the Inn. Regarding the "free" tasting that you get at the restaurant. It is free if you do the non-reserve tasting. If you choose the reserve tasting, and I would guess that most Wine Society members would indeed do that, then you are charged the full $80 per person. If the $40 tasting is free, then shouldn't the $80 tasting be $40???? It not only makes no sense, it is a bit insulting. Based on the excellent wines we'vepurchased from Justin over many, many years, I would have expected to leave a 5 star review plain and simple. I will admit that all three of us were a bit disappointed. Small things can make a real difference. Love the wines (most), but the Inn, not so much. read more

The burgers are amazing. The shining star is the wine. The waitress was nice but I wish she explained more about the wine during the tasting. read more

If you are looking for a VIP wine experience, look no further than The Just Inn at the Justin Winery! From check in to our last breakfast, every moment was memorable and beyond expectation. The staff at Justin go above and beyond to delight and amaze! Beth, at check in, brought a wine flight over... Jack, our concierge, checked in throughout our stay, arranging dinner and transportation into town one night, charming us at breakfast, and adding those extra touches to make our stay memorable... from cream in the refrigerator to bags of ice for my sports injury. Louie, in the society tasting room, became our new BFF as he shared his favs from the wine cellar. The pinnacle of our experience was our dinner at the restaurant... first class service of a menu that was a true work of art for both the eyes and the mouth. Our crew can't wait for our next time together at Just Inn. read more

The JUST INN - Complementary Breakfast - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Paso Robles, California

I can't say enough about this marvelous property. From the moment we arrived, there was no stone left unturned. We stayed in the vintner's villa, which helped us to socially distance from other guests. The villa was very well appointed, very comfortable, and perfectly spacious for a family of 4. The Just Inn (and Justin Winery) is why you have vacation days! Don't forget to order the cheeseburger for lunch, it's the best I've ever had. And the four-course dinner with premiere wine pairings, will be a Michelin star experience very soon. Now is the time to book your reservation before it's impossible to get a table. Thank you again to Evan, Chef Rachel and the entire guest services staff. read more

This review is for Just INN, the hotel at Justin Winery. TL;DR HIGHLY recommend: clean, peaceful, lots of free stuff and discounts! Pros: - clean, well-appointed rooms--there are only three suites in the ~$400 per night range, so book early! - breakfast is included - tons of freebies: a bottle of Justin wine in the room, tons of Fiji water, a few snack packs of almonds (Fiji's parent company owns Justin & wonderful almonds/pistachios, too) - complimentary tasting or tour or both (just not on the same day, per CA ABC regulations, or so we were informed!)--call them before you arrive if you want to do the tour! - 20% off in the gift shop/tasting room, including wines! Cons: - narrow check-in window--approximately 3 pm to 5:30 pm - spotty cell reception (you may have to rely on guest wifi) - if the restaurant is closed, you have to drive west to the coast (Cambria, for example) or east back into Paso Robles to eat Logistics: - it's about 13 miles/25 minutes without traffic to downtown Paso Robles will definitely return! read more

This place is amazing down to every little detail! Stayed in the Isosceles Suite for my bday weekend and once we checked in we had no need or desire to leave to go anywhere else in Paso Robles. They are so hospitable and have amazing wines and delicious food. The dinning experience was one for the books. its very quiet and intimate. The waiter was very knowledgeable and friendly and very attentive. It was an amazing experience all around! read more

Let me start with " I LOVE Justin wine" and have been their wine society member for sometime now. This was my second visit to the winery/tour and tasting but this time booked the Vinter's Villa over the Labor Day weekend to even enhance the experience. Location: amazing as you are right above the warehouse where the tanks are as well as you overlook the vineyard- so after hours there is no one else but you in the gated vineyard. Be aware (no one told us ahead of time) that production is everyday and the workers show up between 6:30-7am. For us it was not an issue as I am up at 5am each day and start work early, however, if you cam here to relax and are used to sleeping in- you will definitely be woken up. Decor: French country style, lovely for the most part, however, very cheap fixtures like the faucet in the kitchen that is about to come off, so is the sink in half a bath, light bulbs are out, etc. Staff: The housekeeping is very friendly and responsive, the place is very clean. However, we had major issues with staff knowledge of this property and ended up booking another hotel room since someone there told us there was no half bath downstairs. Now so you can understand- this place (Justin Inn) has ONLY 4 rooms so how is it possible the staff that answers the phone cannot remember simple thing about one of these rooms? Food: This is for breakfast only. Was supposed to include eggs/bacon and daily baked goods with coffee and specifically be delivered at 8ish. We asked for dry well done eggs and when they could not confirm that can be done (not sure how much hassle could it possibly be at $575 a night to buy PAM spray and scramble some eggs) so we decided to decline their eggs and I just made bfast each morning myself. The baked goods were scones each morning, coffee came once and then since they were late each morning, I just asked for coffee grounds and made coffee myself as well. The second day they did not even bring milk or cream (mind you we asked for skim milk 5 months ago when we reserved the villa for 3 nights). So good thing once again we had our own skim milk as well as tea. The only tea they have are 2 tea bags, none of which is regular (as one would think for bfast would be there). Kitchen: This is supposed to be a full kitchen, however, even coffee maker is missing (manager said the pot from the coffee maker broke and she did not have time to buy a new one) - again- such a small thing and it cannot be done at $575 a night? That is unacceptable. Glasses- if you need an adult drinking glass- you will not find any- they have maybe 4 oz shot glasses and wine glasses only. The silverware is cheap from Walmart and so are the knives that have not been sharpened since purchase. There is a full fridge, however, the ice maker is not working (they will bring you ice upon request if you can get hold of someone). Just a reminder- they are only staffed for few hrs a day- then you are out of luck- seems crazy to me. Each time we tried to call we had to leave a message and play phone tag half the day- and there is no phone signal in most of surrounding Paso area just an FYI. Overall property: Two story, 1.5 baths, 1400 SQ FT, Living room, dinning room, kitchen and one bedroom. The LR has a pull out sleeping sofa. It is lovely just seems they cut corners on kitchen items (as I have mentioned above), towels are very thin and not soft, the power outlets far and few in between (for example you do not have one on neither side of the bed), there is huge deep walk in closet with 3 hangers total, there is no safe and you have to wait (per their sign so they are aware) 10-15 minutes for hot water to come on. An investment of 1000-2500 dollars (depending on type of water heater) investment would solve this problem on the top of California is in the biggest drought in years. This place has so much potential but seems it is poorly managed. At the price per night simple small investments can have this property stand out and be even more prosperous. read more

5 stars! For sure! My bf found the Just Inn randomly and I am so glad he did. Every part of our experience was great! We arrived pretty late and they sent us an email with suggestions on restaurants in town and instructions on accessing our room. I didn't realize as we checked in, but there are only a few rooms at the inn. When we arrived, the lights were on in our suite, music was playing, and there were wine and cheese snacks waiting for us in our room. We turned on the fireplace and settled in so quickly. The room was large, with enough space for a little sitting area and fireplace. The shower was huge! The place was impeccably decorated. I instantly felt relaxed. Even the shower amenities are high end. When we woke up the next day, we realized how gorgeous the property was. We had coffee on our balcony over the view, took a wine tour (Gregory was great!), had a wine tasting, and enjoyed a leisurely lunch. The wine is also fantastic! The whole grounds just has a very relaxed and upscale vibe, without trying too hard or being pretentious. Absolutely recommend! read more

Love Wine? Looking for a relaxing and romantic Bed-n-Breakfast? Head over to the Central Coast of California... Justin Winery features a quaint little Inn on their property. You can wander around the grapevines, ride a bike, or lounge in your luxury suite during the day. In the evenings, enjoy a gourmet dinner with wine pairings -- you won't be disappointed. The rooms are each decorated with a different Old-World theme: Tuscan, French, English. However, accommodations are limited (only 4 rooms), so plan accordingly. Crush season is by far the best/popular time to go. read more

This review is based on a viewing of the suites. Very impressed with all the modern contemporary design. Each room comes with a bottle of complementary wine. I didn't see the Vintner's Villa which is a two story country townhouse, nested production facility complete with full kitchen, dining room, living room with sofa bed. read more

The staff were amazing, Amy and Carson thank you we had such a lovely time. The wines are superb the accommodations were impeccable as was the service. We were fortunate to stay in The Vintners villa an absolute charm with southern French decor and our own little balcony where we had breakfast each morning. read more

What makes this winery memorable is the staff! Accessible, kind and attentive, the restaurant team made our visit a standout. The Reserve Cab 2017 was a favorite. Lunch hit the mark (we ordered the squash soup, risotto, truffle fries, avocado toast). The candles sold in their merchandise area are amazing too! read more

Setting is grand and romantic. Food is innovative and excellent. Service is flawless and personal. Even the wine pairings were tailored to our tastes and interest A perfect special occasion experience read more

This is a review for Deborah's Room, the restaurant situated within the Justin Winery/Just Inn property. We love Justin's wines and we've stayed at the Just Inn, which was exceptional. But the focus of this review is Deborah's Room, which is one of my top five dining experiences. We've eaten at Deborah's Room on four separate occasions. And each time it has been as good, or better, than the previous visit. The menu is amazing -- two entrees I recall vividly are: (1) halibut that was served on a bed of Israeli couscous; and (2) squab with a slice of fois gras on top. Decadent and incredible. The menu has been different every time we've gone and that's okay -- trust this chef! Of course, the wines are gorgeous, luscious Justin wines (I think they offer some other wines, too, but why is that even necessary?) And the service puts this place completely over the top. I have never had service like the service here -- I think they have cameras in the dining room that allows them to watch from the kitchen. The timing is impeccable; empty plate is stealthily cleared, low water is refilled quietly, as if by ninjas. The dining room only has about five tables. Talk about quaint. It is the perfect place for a small, quiet dinner. Maybe a romantic meal or a special occasion... read more

I have eaten here before and thought it a handy spot for a family lunch for my mother's 90th birthday. We had reservations and the staff that greeted us was most gracious. There was virtually no one there so I was surprised that it took a while to seat us. The menu has changed to "comfort food" - heavy and mostly meat, i.e. angus burgers, fries , bratwurst etc. Despite being mostly empty, it took almost 45 minutes for our food to come and the prices are way too high for what you get. There aren't many (any other) choices in this part of the wine country but I wouldn't do it again. read more

I stayed a night at the Just Inn, in the vintners villa. It is above the production facility and surrounded by vines. During the evening it was extremely secluded, with only the sounds of crickets, so nothing broke the magic of the evening. The kitchen is adequate to cook dinner, although has no spices or oils so bring your own. It was very enjoyable to go for an evening stroll on the property. The bed was extremely comfortable, however, lacks a TV upstairs if that is important to you. In the morning breakfast was delivered around 9, and for me consisted of fruit and a flaky quiche. I very much enjoyed my stay and look forward to joining again. read more

JUST- inn was terrific stayed three nights. Remember this is a B&B so you dont roll over and hit the room service button. What you get is a feeling of actually being away. The secret is (for me) the very nice breakfast served each morning at 9AM. Wineries don't open until 10AM so it's perfect. We dined at Deborah's room twice. AMAZING, do the wine pairing, they give you like 1/3rd servings so no worry about getting too intoxicated, but the experience is best with the pairing. The rooms are nicely appointed sort of Elegant Country, not gawdy Victorian. The Justin wine tour was far and away our best tour (Cave tour), but we loved everything about our sojurn to Paso. I really hated to leave, and it rained everyday...We were a party of five with 3 rooms. Loved it. read more

This place is awesome. Don't miss it!

this place used to have soul and style, now it's well suited for a corporate meeting where they announce the layoffs. breakfast? no juices available, some coffee, only selection a burrito that had spent a long time on a warming tray and was very tired. staff seemed overworked, spread thin. rooms smelled skunky, like maybe the p-trap failed. Run! read more

Wow, did we have a fabulous time here. There were six of us. We had brunch at the Restaurant, which was outside seating overlooking the vineyards. Cory gave us the most excellent service. He accommodated some of us that had particular likes for wine and poured us tastings on some whites to make sure we wanted to drink what we liked. We ended up drinking everything that he opened, and then some. I had the skirt steak on a green salad and it was amazing! The steak was so flavorful and tender. Everyone else was happy with the food too. We ordered the cheese platter as an appetizer, and it was also very good. 2 of us had rooms already booked, and when we asked Linda if they had another room, they did and all of us stayed the evening. We were treated with great kindness. She also gave us a number to a limo company that will come out to the winery and either drive your car, or theirs and it was reasonable. He took us to town for dinner and then off to Vina Robles Ampitheatre for a concert. The photos on yelp are out of date. There is not a pool or spa anymore. the rooms are modern, yet beautifully decorated. We stayed in the suites just above the lobby and they were gorgeous! Huge jet tubs, windows that viewed the winery, a gas fireplace, rocking chairs on the porch, living room and bedroom separate. A cheese plate in the fridge. Fresh local coffee ready to brew in your room. Oh, and we took a cave tour and it was so informative. There is a reason why ALL of their wine is delicious. Take the tour and you will find out. Thank you Just Inn for a fabulous time! read more

The Just Inn was wonderful. It was my first time staying there and I'd love to go again. The room was just beautiful and I loved sitting out on the patio at different times of the day as the views were gorgeous. Sitting by the spa and pool in the evening in such private surrounds was so unique and enjoyable. The breakfast in the morning rounded out the wonderful experience. The staff, room, food and surroundings made the weekend a very special experience. Thank you Just Inn. read more

This review is for Deborah's room....Wonderful is how I would describe our experience. The service was awesome! Timothy was so knowledgable and spent plenty of time with us descibing wines and food pairings. He was engaging and warm. Our food, especially that corn hash and the SEA BASS - unbelievable. I think it is safe to say the BEST sea bass meal I have ever had! It was our anniversary so we expected that dinner would be on the high end but we found it to be surprisingly reasonable. In Paso Robles for sure the food and service is above and beyond any place else, but I believe it stands up against any fine dining resturant. read more
