Came here with friends who belong to their wine club. Wine tasting is $10 per person and they are plentiful with their tastings. They have a good selection of wines with many different varieties.

We came in on the last day of an older gentleman whos name escapes me. He was moving to Fullerton to be with his family. He was very entertaining and attentive. The wines were good and the tasting was a good experience. Dove chocolate with our port was great. The bathrooms were clean and they have many wine barrels stacked... More

Took a trip down the Mosel River in Germany last year where rieslings abound.. Got hooked on the dryness of their rieslings -- dry like chardonnay.

They have an awesome selection of wine. My wife and I are from D.C. and this was such a treat plus their whole tasting room is built sustainably out of straw bails and mud (you'd never know it).

We first had a bottle of C&C's Gewurztraminer at the Old Port Inn restaurant on the Avila Pier. Great wine pairing with seafood. We are now members of their winery and have enjoyed dinner and music events. Try the Port. A nice more subtle take on this standard.

There are many good wineries in the SLO area, and this is one of the best. They have a really good port. It is on our list when we are taking friends wine tasting.

Chaiborne & Churchill Winery, 2649 Carpenter Canyon Rd, 805-544-4066. This winery was recommended to us for their German wines. Open 11-5 daily. We did 2 tasting at $5 (free with purchase) for 5 wines. We were offered a bit more, but passed as our schedule is full of wines and driving. This is a family operation. Husband and wife were...
