Classic Flight: $25/tasting for 5 pours (fee waived with two bottle purchase), and a Reserve Flight: $40/tasting (fee waived with two bottle purchase of signature wines).
Second visit, but first time we were able to do a tasting. We made reservations and upon arrival were presented with a custom printed tasting menu just for us (see picture). There's a large bar in the main tasting room, however all of the tastings are done at private areas, both off the lobby and outside on the covered deck. I think we had the best seats, the "living room pit" right next to the stone fireplace.
WINES: On our recent visit, Bob poured for us and was an exceptional host. Very knowledgeable about the property, the vineyards, and the wines. We took advantage of both (shared) the Classic and Reserve tastings, which consisted of one white wine ('18 Picoul Blanc), with the remainder being reds. Bob also gave us an additional pour, their '21 Chardonnay. To be honest, we weren't fans of the two whites, but we have friends that would love the crisp, acidic style. The reds were right up our alley (min. 15 months in French oak), and we ended up taking home four bottles of their Signature series wines (a '20 Mourvèdre, '19 Cab Franc, and '19 Cab Sauvignon). On our first visit, we were only able to try wines by the glass, due to it being a private club pick-up party day. However, we really enjoyed the Signature series '15 Syrah and '17 Cab Sauvignon so much, we took home bottles of each.
Overall, the Adelaida staff provides wonderful service, the winery and property are gorgeous, and the wines are delicious. I strongly recommend you make reservations and enjoy a tasting the next time you're in Paso Robles.
NOTE: They have two EV charging stations in the parking area, which will accommodate up to four vehicles.
