Rio Seco Winery

Reviewed By auntytisti - Anaheim, United States

Carol was the sweetest lady, we talked not only about her wines ????, but about the love of baseball ⚾️. Carol and her late husband know my brother (baseball scout). Before we left she handed me a bag to go get any veggies I wanted from her garden! ????????????, squash, zucchini. I will definitely be thinking of her while I’m using them in my meals. I can’t wait to go back and visit her and her winery. Salute ????⚾️

This interesting gallery has something for everyone and is a great asset to the local community by allowing local artists to work in front of clients, and it also has class space for local adults and children to develop their interests and talents. After a wonderful dinner on the square, we walked the perimeter streets and enjoyed our visit, buying a little something to voice our support for the local artists. Car art is a 1950-1953 Hudson, like the ones our family owned in those years! :-)

Woodland Auto Display

Reviewed By KSSeaB - Henderson, United States

We actually brought friends with us for our annual Cambria / Paso get-away. Our friend Jan wanted to go to the Estrella Warbird Museum because he is a pilot. Attached to that museum is the Woodland Auto Display, named after Dick Woodland, a successful contractor whose hobby is stock car racing. He has quite the collection. I am not a car buff, but thoroughly enjoyed the visit. The have an REO Speedwagon, so if you have ever wondered where the band got its name, there is an answer. (Reynolds E. Olds, founder of Oldsmobile, invented the first motor home, a speedwagon.) Vehicles are well maintained, spotless, beautiful. Everything is identified. The collection includes a Steve McQueen motorcycle and a bumper car. Definitely the biggest and nicest car collection I've ever seen. My husband said the same thing. The two docents on duty when we visited were very knowledgeable and friendly. They had lots of amusing anecdotes as well as additional printed information. I'm not sure how accurate some of their stories were; I suspect embellishment has occurred over time, but that's okay. It was fun. They were more than glad to share, to chat, to visit. We were there during the heat wave. The building is not air conditioned, so August was probably not the best time to visit. I sometimes stood in front of the only floor fan, raised my arms and enjoyed. They did have cold bottles of water available for purchase. Donations welcome.

Sarzotti Vineyard

Reviewed By BK2222222

The owners Family Sarzotti are wonderful hosts. They host generous tastings whether you make a purchase or not. That is unprecedented in the other surrounding as others charge for small tastings. Yes it is small compared to others but their genorosity is not.

Mission San Miguel Arcangel

This mission was founded among the Salinas Indians, who inhabited the area in the 1700's.

Reviewed By SMGrandma - Santa Maria, United States

I had actually gone to see the San Miguel Cemetery, but realized that right across the highway there was more of the town of San Miguel. This was a beautiful mission and it was a great place for taking photos. You are free to wander arouond on your own, but they do have self-guided tours, as well as paid tours. There are brick ovens, an olive press, old wagons, a fountain and plenty of beautiful arches. They also have a nice gift shop. I actually made some purchases there. It was a gorgeous day when i went and the blue, California skies made a great backdrop for my photos.

Eberle Winery

Eberle Winery is a family-owned producer and marketer of premium wines, representing the Eberle Estate, single varieties and designated vineyards. Eberle wines have showcased the history and diverse flavors of the Paso Robles Appellation since 1979. Gary launched his career as a winemaker and as the “Pioneer” of Paso Robles Wine Region by helping to establish his family's Estrella River Winery & Vineyards. In the late 70’s, he decided to pursue his own project and acquired nearly 64 acres just down the road from Estrella River Winery. Shortly thereafter, Gary released his first Eberle wine, the 1979 Cabernet Sauvignon debuting the iconic boar logo, depicting the German origin of the name Eberle, meaning “small boar.” Reservations are now required to visit and can be made online or by calling us. We have changed up a few things so that we can provide a welcoming and safe environment for wine tasting and bottle service. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Highly recommend visiting this winery! We visited on a cool rainy day and since sitting outside was not an option, they had opened up the wine making room for seated tastings. Our server, Kirk, was a delight. He not only educated us on Eberle wines, but entertained us with some jokes. The wines here were very tasty. We particularly liked the Full Boar Red - especially for the price. The Zin & Cab were quite nice also. Worth a stop while visiting Paso Robles!

Tobin James Cellars

TOBIN JAMES-IT'S ALL TRUE!! Open 10 - 6 daily. Tobin James Cellars, established in 1985, is famous for its rich, intense Cabernet Sauvignons, Zinfandels, Syrahs, Merlot, Bordeaux blends, Chardonnay and many other varietals. Tasting at the Grand Antique Bar, the popular Tasting Room is always a must for wine lovers. The legendary James Gang Wine Club is a growing testament to the winery's commitment to excellent quality and its fun, unpretentious approach to wine. Complimentary tasting. Only closed Christmas Day.

Reviewed By jamessL9130SX - Palm Springs, United States

What an amazing wine tasting experience at Tobin James! First, I was surprised at a review that said that the winery was not COVID safe. That could not be further from the truth. When we arrived for our reservation, all staff members were wearing masks, our temperatures were taken before we were allowed in, and we were told to please wear a mask until we got to our tasting station. The tasting stations were well distanced along a stretch of long tables. What made this winery the absolute best for tasting during this COVID period is that each tasting area had a staff member that poured whatever wine you wanted from the Tobin James portfolio! Every other tasting we did at other wineries in the area that day only offered flights with limited staff interaction and sometimes long waits between flights. The pours were usually not very generous and because of limited staff, re-pours were difficult. At Tobin James, if you wanted more of what you especially liked, your server was right there and more than happy to do so...thank you Kaye! The wines at Tobin James were outstanding with a good range of different varietals at different price points. I found other wineries had increased their prices substantially from what I remember, so that was somewhat disappointing, and really can limit your wine purchases, especially if you are on a tighter budget. Their Wine Club is really different as well and a real bargain for the quality of wines offered, Thanks again Tobin James for a wonder wine experience and please thank Kaye for us!

Opolo Vineyards

Known for great times, award winning wines, Opolo is located on picturesque Vineyard Drive. Come enjoy a wide range of experiences, from tours and cheese pairings, varied flight options and Pairings on the Patio to The Distillery at Opolo or one of our events on the hilltop where you'll enjoy gorgeous vineyard views.

Reviewed By G3428ZVtomm

Opolo vineyards and wine tasting is always a fun experience, you can sit outside in the covered patio area an have lunch or just taste wine. You can order a fantastic pizza that is cooked in their wood burning pizza ovens and it comes with a paired glass of wine. Their employees are always friendly and very willing to share their knowledge of not only their wine but also many of the other local wineries. Opolo is my go to winery if I have friends in town that want to go wine tasting. Cheers and enjoy the experience!
