Came by to listen to the live music of Jane and Shane. Place appears to be a repurposed house with a sizable back patio and small front pato. Musical acts perform in the back patio. I found an open table and ordered a bottle of their riesling as my friend wanted a sweet wine. Before my wine order, some water, pretzels and raw almonds were provided. I'm not a wine drinker but the wine was to my liking. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Musical act was very good. This is a great little place to listen to music and have some wine. read more

I love the vibe of this winery, low key, ample back patio seating space, friendly staff and complimentary pretzels and almonds. We definitely will be back! Special shout out to Haiden and Denise for being great hosts and sharing there knowledge about the wine making process. read more

Wine tasting is so much fun inside a house! We sat on a couch in front of a fireplace in a "living room" setting. The flight came in a cute display and we were given good information for each wine. The service was friendly and fast. They checked on us often to make sure we were alright and answered any questions that we had. Denise and Valerie were so great and gave us a great experience! Highly recommend "the icon" 2018 Pinot noir. The strong wine is part of the wine tasting and is the best Pinot noir I have ever had! Five stars for a great wine tasting experience! read more

Big shout out to the Timbre team! We had the pleasure of a barrel tasting with Haydon yesterday. It was arranged by Chiasa and I would highly recommend working with not only Haydon and Chiasa but the whole Timbre team. The tasting was above and beyond our expectations and the wine was top notch. I highly recommend this winery for their excellent wine and their excellent service. I look forward to many more visits! Thank you Timbre team. read more

Went to Timbre which is a nice and small wine tasting room. If you are looking for a cozy place this is a good place to check out. I ended up ordering the wine tasting flight here which came with 5 different wines, and I really enjoyed all of them. They also gave a side of nuts and pretzels as well as an extra pour to start us off which was great. I loved the last 2 reds in our flight, especially the wine that was described to us at jammy. Overall, this is a really cute spot to come with girlfriends, have some wine and enjoy catching up with some delicious wine! read more

Lovely fall day to taste through of our fall club shipment. Denise was our server and she was/is sweet as ever and very knowledgeable about the wines produced here. Josh the winemaker is producing more solid wines now and they've invested in champagne making equipment and the sparkling Chard from Riverbench vineyard is nice. We're also fans of the music/band themed names for the wines. read more

Timbre - My sweetheart and our tasting flight - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Arroyo Grande, California

The Timbre tasting room is tucked into a small house on the main drag (Branch St) in Arroyo Grande. It's easy to miss if you're driving by but, you'll want to be sure you don't miss this place. We've tasted at most of the wineries/tasting rooms up and down the coast but rarely (if ever) have we been so completely blown away by the quality of the wine on the entire tasting menu. Timbre seems to focus on Pinot Noirs but they do offer tasting selections of several other varietals including ( when we visited) a Riesling, a couple Chardonnays, and a Cab Sauv. The Pinot Noirs are the stars here and they really do shine. With grapes sourced from well known warmer climate vineyards such as Bien Nacido ,Prequile & Riverbench, they are making pretty big, new world style wines which are a great complement to the abundance of cooler climate Pinots we get from Sta Rita Hills producers. But back to Timbre, they've got a great tasting patio in the back of the place where your removed from the bustle of the busy street and there a great team of very knowledgeable staff to guide you through their lineup. We were lucky enough to get Denise, ( as well as two other great ladies) who knew absolutely everything about the wines and the vineyards and led us through the unique naming structure they use for their wines there( kinda music based not surprisingly ). Any way you hear it Timbre is in perfect tune and hitting all the right notes in the crowded and talented Central coast wine scene. Check them out for sure!!! read more

Timbre was an unexpected find one wine tasting day. And a wonderful find it was! We were exploring new wineries in and around Arroyo Grande and came across Timbre. It was very near our hotel and happened to stay open later than a lot of the other wineries. We opted to close out the night here. It was a long day wine tasting, and the sun and wine took its toll on me. We nearly thought about canceling our reservations and heading straight to the hotel. But with a few snacks and plenty of water, I was good to go. And so glad I did! Timbre was not only the cutest little setting on the most adorable street in AG, but the staff and wines were wonderful! The boyfriend struck up a conversation with our pourer, also an educator, and we had a simply marvelous end to the day. The wines were so pleasant we oped to become wine club members. I've since returned with my sisters to taste and they too enjoyed it! Upon our second trip we sat on the porch and enjoyed people watching as the sun set. It was quite pleasant. Several wine shipments have arrived since we signed up and every single one has exceeded our expectations, with many drinkable now. If you're a fan of beautiful Pinot Noirs, definitely stop here. Make sure to put Timbre at the top of your wineries to-try list! read more

Timbre - Fall wine tasting - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Arroyo Grande, California

Service is special here. We didn't get a chance to sit inside because there was an inviting outdoor patio and we wanted to enjoy some nice sunshine. Upon seating and after ordering our tastings, we were offered complimentary almonds or popcorn. It was really busy but service was still attentive. It's also dog-friendly in the outdoor space so bring your furry friends here. Timbre is located to so many nice restaurants in the Arroyo Grande Village that if you were to start your a day out here to enjoy a tasting before going out to dinner, then that would be an idealistic date. They usually close at 5pm or 6pm so start the outing early. read more

I have to start this review with the staff and owner. Fantastic, so warm and welcoming from your very first visit. We are members of the Timbre Wine club and really enjoy both the delicious wines and the events. We choose Timbre to give a 20th anniversary party to my son and his wife. The price to rent the space after hours was very reasonable and the best part was that you get the staff to take care replenishing food trays and making sure everyone had their glasses refilled with tastes of the different wines we choose for the event. Denise took her time with the guests so they could have any questions answered about the wine they were tasting. We met with Denise, Timbre's manager, several times to arrange what we wanted for the event and she was so on top of everything and communicated with me both by email and over the phone with last minute details. We had Timbre put together two large charcuterie boards to start things off and they did a beautiful job! I ordered food from Palo Mesa that was delicious (more on that in a separate review on Palo Mesa) and Denise made sure that we had everything we needed from Palo Mesa to keep food warm and had it picked up and ready when the food arrived. I make truffles and Denise was kind enough to do a tasting with her staff and expertly paired each truffle flavor with the selected wines! They have a nice speaker system to play your selected playlist from your device and it was so nice to play in the background. We delivered decorations to Denise the day before and she had them all put out for the event (although the back patio is beautiful on it's own and you really don't need additional decorations). Their wines are just wonderful and there is a wide variety to satisfy different tastes. I was also impressed that the owner, Chiasa (spelling I hope is right), was there to also help out at the event. Our guests really enjoyed talking with both Denise and Chiasa and the rest of the staff. If you are looking for a warm, intimate, and well organized place to hold your event I highly recommend Timbre Winery in Arroyo Grande, CA. read more

Great spot to taste their wines. Right in the heart of Arroyo Grande village. Cute and quiet place to sit out back on the patio. Plenty of distancing during covid. Denise was a knowledgeable and gracious host explaining everything you need to know about the wines. Pinots are very good and the grapes are sourced from local vineyards. They also have a nice 11 year old cabernet made from Napa grapes. For a treat, try their bubbly rose! read more

First class winery that my wife, dog, and I quickly joined after our first visit. Subsequent visits have only cemented our appreciation - wines are fantastic and you can quickly tell the owners and employees genuinely care about your experience. The wines are, without exception, enjoyable, and some like the Locomotive and Hi Hat Pinot are (in my humble opinion) extraordinary! Passion is exhibited in both quality and ambience of the tasting room. In closing, it would be awesome if AG supported more operations like Timbre, a small business with kind and passionate owners that want to bring a fun experience to our beloved village. P.S. My beloved wife refused to be a part of this review, citing "7 month pregnancy" reasoning -- but, if available she would also strongly endorse a 5 star rating. P.S.S. Our beloved dog Charlie also loves this place, but wishes there was a bone tasting menu/club available. read more

This is by far the best tasting room!! The people who work there are great! Super friendly and remember everyone! As well as great wine! We always run into people we know there.

What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon!! Valerie guided us on the wines and she was lovely. Thank you for such incredible wines and amazing service. read more

I had a lovely glass of Dr. Klapper Riesling at Stax in Morro Bay but they were out of bottles to buy. After reaching out to them on Yelp they let me know where to find it. This place is so cute! Two very sweet ladies were running the place today and the transaction was quick and easy. I got two bottles of wine and they offered me a taste of the wine before I bought it. I had to refuse since I was driving, it was barely noon, and I am an extreme lightweight when it comes to wine. I already knew I loved this wine so no need to taste test it. They invited me back for a tasting and I'll see if John and I can swing by on another day! Go check them out! It's a great spot! read more

This tasting room is just the cutest place. Very welcoming environment, warm decor and friendly staff. Cool sitting area near the fireplace. The Reisling was my favorite pour. I bought a bottle home as a treat for myself lol 6 Pours for $12 on the classic and $15 for the other can't remember the name of it but it consist of more reds. Most of my group were Chardonnay drinkers. read more

Friendly staff, delicious wine and beautiful views. We loved the glasses and their set up. We will definitely be back.

First off I want to thank Timbre and staff for being open during these crazy times. It means a lot to me and I'm sure all of your other fans to be able kickback outside and enjoy your beautiful wines. We came up from Ventura this pass weekend just around the time you were closing. Tables were full in the back patio however Denise was most accommodating and gracious. She offered us a quiet table in the front and gave us extra special service. Elegant wines, charming atmosphere. This is a must try. We will be back! read more

Good selection of wines and outstanding service. Valerie was very helpful during our visit. We will return.

One of our favorite tasting rooms in SLO County! Amazing and delicious pinot's! Chardonnay's are great too! They have a good selection of library wines as well. The staff is so friendly and welcoming and it's just an overall fun experience to taste here. We joined on our second visit. Highly recommend! read more

This winery is beautiful! They serve delicious popcorn with a yummy seasoning, and the wine is delicious! They are conveniently located in the village, and the house is beautiful. They have a living room area, a dining room with a big wooden table, and outdoor seating as well. They have a really cool wooden bar table that the barista said was acquired locally. The service was perfect! We will be back! read more

Look for the red umbrella out front to find the Timbre Winery Tasting Room on the super cute Village of Arroyo Grande's main thoroughfare. I was delighted with the 2017 Rosé -- lots of body for such an easy drinking wine. Taste a flight or try wines by the glass. There's a selection of vintage library wines and more choices than Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, although Timbre's Chardonnay is reason enough to stop in. The tasting room is in a sweet vintage bungalow; you'll feel right at home. read more

Their Rosés are REALLY good. Tiny little spot but if you are looking for a Rosé I highly recommend it!

Great small production local winery. Talented and devoted winemaker who clearly has a passion for his work. Great local varietals, Pinot done very well and allowed to show its character. Denise was a great hostess, made us comfortable and made great conversation about the wines. She knows her stuff too. read more

Excellent boutique winery. Denise poured for us and was wonderful and engaging and knew all about the wines. We would definitely visit again and recommend it highly. read more

It's a nice atmosphere and great service but that's it. The price points are so out of balance with the quality of the wine.

Very bad service! And discriminatory. They also didn't explain their menu neither their tasting venues.

This is such a great addition to Arroyo Grande. Great wine and the best atmosphere. Cute places to sit inside and outside. This is a for sure stop!! read more

Such a cool little spot in the Village of AG! Came here on a Friday afternoon and tasted - started with a rose, which a bottle of I later bought. Timbre is in an old house built in the 1920s and it is so pleasant and peaceful to sip and watch cars stroll by. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

I was so impressed at what a fun environment and what a friendly, inviting staff this place has! My husband and I were immediately greeted and seated upon arriving, given our own personal heater right away (it was cold) and were given complimentary pretzels and almonds - a nice, added touch! Tastings are only $20, and their wines are great! My husband asked about a cider and without asking, he was brought a tasting of that cider (which he ended up buying, by the way - it was excellent). Currently, because of CA's stay-at-home order, their tasting room is not open. But as soon as it is, do yourself a favor and visit. You too will love the welcoming and laidback atmosphere! read more

Great atmosphere and really knowledgeable staff. I love the Chardonnay was really crisp and rearranging while the reds were rich and fruity. I'll definitely stop again. read more

I am so glad that we decided to stop in today and check out this sweet addition to the village. The renovation of this historic house is charming and updated, with a noticeable respect for the older details. There are cozy places inside to taste along with a beautiful tasting bar and an outside tasting area that overlooks the village and makes you feel like you're sitting on your own front porch. We received a warm hello and were invited to choose from two different flights. The four of us chose to share one of each flight but if I was staying longer, which I plan to do in our next visit, I would enjoy a flight to myself. Chiasa poured wine for us and told us the story of the winery, along with specific tasting notes for each wine, without "overinforming" my family who do not go wine tasting very often. Wine preference is a personal thing but since opinion is the name of the game on Yelp, I'm pleased to tell you that, in my opinion, each wine stands on its own and is a beautiful reflection of both vineyard and vintage. These wines were not made with a heavy hand and are balanced wonderfully between acid, tannin, and oak. Beautifully done, Timbre! You're a welcome addition to the village and we look forward to enjoying your new space and excellent wines in the years to come! P.S. Cider?! Are you kidding me?! A very pleasant surprise : ) read more

Recently had a private event at Timbre and we were beyond impressed. Denise and Chiasa were so helpful throughout the evening.

Great location, great people, and fantastic wine. Highly recommend! read more

I've been through many Napa and Paso Robles wineries. Timbre is one of the best. Not only is the atmosphere amazing they have some great Pino Noirs, and I'm not really a Pino guy! If you have a chance, get ahold of Headliners 2011 or any Mandrake, amazing! I am beyond impressed with this place. read more
