Friday, Saturday and Sunday enjoy artisan wine and food pairings in our reserve Heritage Room. Tolosa’s sustainably farmed vineyards are located between Santa Barbara and Paso Robles, in the coastal hills of San Luis Obispo. Our goal is to make balanced wines that are true to varietal character and expressive of the cooling ocean breezes and long growing season that define our estate vineyards. Equally important we utilize the best environmentally sustainable practices in growing grapes and creating our distinctive wines. « less

I really thought this winery, for as long a time as it has been in this valley apparently, would produce better wines. Suffice to say? Napa and Santa Ynez need not fear the competition (nor Livermore valley, for that matter)

I think this winery put all their money into the building and not into the wine. I nor anyone I know likes the wine here. Maybe it is because we have been to over 500 wineries and have a more refined palate.

Went to this winery after reading reviews on trip advisor. Well worth a visit. The staff were genuine, knowledgeable and so friendly. Visiting with our disabled son, they were more than accommodating. Even staff that weren't dealing with us joined in conversation making us all feel at home. Bought the Pinot Noir and the unoaked chardonnay, which were well worth... More

Go for the more expensive barrel tasting downstairs. It is unusual and unhurried and you have more time to talk about the wine.

We went on a weekday and got special attention. The wine was pretty good, but more importantly the facilities were beautiful. Great views of the vineyards, and knowledgeable staff answered all our questions. Buy a bottle of wine to waive the tasting fee!

Staff are very knowledgeable, and very patient with those of us who are new to wine tasting. There is a beautiful outdoor patio, so bring a lunch and enjoy your tastings outside. Lots of places for great photos, including giant lavender bushes.

Must give this place four out of five stars for their steel-barrel chardonnay - one of the best I've had. Great atmosphere for wine tasting, too. Large tasting room with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy a glass of wine.
