Alta Colina Vineyard & Winery

This review is a long overdue! A group of girlfriends and I visited in August 2023 on a recommendation from someone local, ended up becoming members, and we've been hooked ever since. My husband and I live in Texas but head to Paso a few times a year to visit my in-laws and Alta Colina is on the itinerary every time. We love the family owned vibe and the wine is delicious. If you're nearby this is a must-do, especially the Summit Tasting, highly highly recommend!

Wine tasting is one of the best activities you can enjoy in California, especially in Paso Robles at Alta Colina. Alyssa provided us with unforgettable experiences—Alta Colina Rosé is one of my favorites. I even brought some home. My Rosé made the flight all the way to Columbus with me—it’s that good.

We absolutly loved this family owned winery. Wonderful wines and tasting experience. The Team was more than perfect, we had personal explanation, answers, and jokes. The place was quiet, and the view was really beautiful. We had a wonderful time at Alta Colina, and we deeply recommend to visit this place.

I planned my proposal at the summit tasting deck and Melissa and Lou Lou were both fantastic in helping me plan it. Everything they helped plan turned out perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to propose!

The wines are excellent. The service is outstanding. You must plan a visit to do a private hilltop tasting. It was an awesome experience.

A pleasant way to spend an afternoon! My friend and I stopped to grab my member fall wines and ended up enjoying a couple of glasses and a cheese plate. Atmosphere was beautiful. The views are incredible, as is the wine!

We spent a lovely afternoon tasting wines with Ed, who was knowledgeable and generous with his time. Loved the family feel of the vineyard. Wines were excellent. We ended up joining the wine club. We will return! Highly recommend making this one of your stops when in Paso.

We always make a point to swing by Alta Colina when we are in Paso. Everyone is super nice and friendly. Bob, Lynn, and Maggie are always welcoming. I highly recommend the summit tasting.

Cam here on July 5, 2024. The service was great! The wine tasting was a good experience. Purchased a few wines to give out to friends and myself. Will love to come again.

We came upon Alta Colina by coincidence and are so, so grateful we did!! The wines in the tasting were delicious and diverse - we loved the full-bodied white wine and the slope syrah. Ivey served us - I've been drinking wine for years, but I learned so much from her. You can tell she really loves working at Alta and loves the whole process. We were lucky enough to also have Bob, the founder, stop by to say hi. He even took us on a full vineyard tour in his truck and told us about the history, the process, and the grapes. Bob was incredibly welcoming and generous with his time. A GORGEOUS property and an overall great experience -- we will definitely be back.

I don't know where to begin with our experience at Alta Colina. We came by as a group of four on a June weekend, excited to try their wine and check out the property. We come to Central Coast once a year and we love to explore wineries in the area. Driving up to the property was easy, check in was seamless, and then things went downhill from here. We were shown our table for tasting which was outside, right by the parking lot in the front. I was a bit confused at the time, but didn't say anything to our host right away. We started with our pours, and what felt like for each pour was just a splash of the wine. It was not enough of a pour to actually taste the notes of the wine. I have been to several wineries in Napa, Sonoma, Healdsburg, Paso, etc... and this was the smallest pour I have ever seen. Our host was also very much occupied with another larger group at the time, and we felt very much neglected. The amount of pour we got, did not equal the time waiting for our next one. It felt like we were waiting forever for her to come by since we finished our pours very fast, then another host started helping us. Lastly, we were not impressed with the wine. This place was highly recommended by local friends, and I was expecting the gorgeous views which is all over their website and Instagram. It was a bit deceiving of marketing on their end. At the end of our tasting, I had to go back and let them know we needed to move on to our lunch reservation. As I was paying for the tasting, I expressed my concerns to the staff and though one of them seemed empathetic, the other did not. I strongly do not agree with the price of their tasting with the amount of pour they offered, and I did voice they need to be a bit more transparent about their tasting offers (pond/trailer versus a parking lot). Too bad, will not recommend or come back again.

We reserved to go to the summit, where there is patio with a beautiful view of the vines. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate, so Emily, who was a great employee and very kind, brought us to a private tasting in the barrel room. The table we sat at was made from a tree that was cut down on the property, as it wasn't producing anything. It looked very cool and had a split in it. All of the wine we tasted was delicious. She taught us about a screw cap wine that doesn't lay down and can be drunk now. That's my kind of wine. It was called Down slope. We bought a bottle and it was priced right! We are happy to be members here! The best part of all was when Bob Tillman, the owner came by. We talked for a bit and he invited my husband and I to go in his truck for a ride around the property and see the beautiful views. What a treat! We loved our experience!

Oh my goodness I loved this place! My friends and I came here since two of them are members. We did the wine tour with wonderful views of the winery atop the hill. Our lovely and super sweet tour guide Ivy made the experience that much more spectacular. She knew her wine and explained everything with a lot of joy in her work. I loved every single tasting, especially the Sun Worshipper! Can't wait to come back!

Beautiful wine, even more beautiful people! Will be back and rave about this sweet spot!

Our tasting experience was lovely and we enjoyed the customer service provided. We didn't like any of the wines we drank so wouldn't head back for that reason alone, but really every year and varietal is going to be different so if this is on your list you may enjoy the wines more than we did. We have a lot of wineries to drink through in Paso so won't be back for this one. Our wine flight was $25/person. I think they waive it with 3 bottles purchased, but we didn't buy any wines so paid the $25. There's an outdoor patio, as well as some limited indoor seating. We were able to come in last minute on a very hot Friday afternoon and appreciated their flexibility, but probably best to plan ahead.

Alta Colina is a remarkable winery, born of a curiosity & passion for wine. The whole team walks in excellence and the wines are delicious! Owners Bob and daughter Maggie, winemaker Molly, and the tasting team Melissa, Emily and others love what they are doing, and of course their winery dogs Honey & Raider add that extra special touch! An added plus, The Trailer Pond, an oasis in the middle of the AC Mouvedre vines, offers the ability to stay on the property in vintage trailers surrounding a beautiful pond. Truly magical one-of-a-kind experience.

I've visited Alta Colina twice now and both experiences have been exceptional! Each time I've been here it's been with my friend who is a wine club member, so we've really gotten the VIP experience. The first visit we did a private cellar tasting. The dark room with the string lights and towers of wine barrels surrounding us created the most beautiful wine tasting atmosphere. This experience was a great introduction to the winery. We learned a lot about the varietals at the vineyard and a bit about the wine making process. Bob, the owner and winemaker stopped in to say hello and joined us for a little bit. Although I thought that visit would be hard to top, the second visit was even better! This time we had a private summit tasting in the Vineyard with none other than Bob himself. We hopped in his truck and rode up the mountain to the top or the vineyard where we had expansive views overlooking the vines and the rolling hills. I was in absolute awe the entire time of just how beautiful our view was. There's just something about drinking wine surrounded by the vines the grapes came from! Having Bob as our host for the morning was a true treat, we were able to talk with him about how the winery came to be, the different soil types and why specific vines were planted where they were. Overall this is a great family owned winery, you can tell how much care goes into the wine, and how much they care about and want to know their customers. Looking forward to my next visit!

One word to describe this vineyard - Fabulous! We went up to the Central Coast to celebrate our daughter's 21st birthday and my dad's 94th birthday. I had booked reservations at several vineyards throughout the week for us to visit - Alta Colina was by far our favorite! Melissa greeted us when we arrived. It was a beautiful sunny day, so we sat outside. Melissa was so knowledgeable on the tasting wines and explained each one in detail - all were delicious! It was hard to choose which ones we were going to buy. The owner, Bob, came over to say hello. My dad is a Veteran and so was his dad. We all agreed that at this vineyard they make you feel apart of their family. We ended up buying several bottles of wine, the cans of wine (I loved the design on the cans), Olive Oil, and an Alta Colina glass for my daughter as a momento. We will be back to Alta Colina as the ambiance was so warm and welcoming with beautiful views.

Be sure Emily hosts your party. Very knowledgeable about wine and the area. This is a Syrah winery. Try the 2020 Toasted Slope Syrah. I really liked the cheese and meat plate. The place is like a little hotel lobby. Plenty of parking. Nice bathrooms.

I booked a private tasting for the wife and I last week while we were celebrating our 20th anniversary. Our host took us in his truck up the hills behind the tasting room to a large oak tree where we got to taste wine on a shaded patio with a nice cooling breeze. We passed their pond where they have 5 or 6 small Airstream RV's that are available for rent. Seems like a cool place to stay in Paso. We really enjoyed the Rhone style wines they offered and our host gave us a lot of great knowledge about the winery.

I stopped by while driving through town and they quickly took care of me and walked me through their samples. The views were amazing and the staff is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend!

Alta Colina is my top winery in Paso, and I have been coming to the area for over a decade to wine taste. This was my first time visiting. This winery has it all...amazing Rhone varietals, beautiful view (be sure to sit outside), knowledgeable and friendly staff. Our wine host was Michele who did a great job in explaining each wine in detail and provided so much history about the wine, owner and property. We even had a chance to met Bob the owner who was so down to earth and friendly. We loved the wines so much that my sister and I became members! Can't wait to return.

Already writing a review because Ed is the man and Alta Colina is my new favorite vineyard. I hadn't heard of the wines here but came per recommendation and was not disappointed. Wine? Amazing. Service? Phenomenal. Think all the quality you hope for but without any of the pretentiousness. Pair that with an excellent and friendly staff and you've got yourself an incredible tasting. I visited another tasting room and was a bit disappointed with my experience. It felt like the stuffiness of Napa and had wines from different vineyards. Not here - all of their wines are from their vineyard and everyone is down to earth and ready to tell you everything you need to know about what you're drinking without making you feel like a wine idiot. Apologies to Ed again for mixing up your name I'll have to make it up to you by frequenting Alta Colina the next time I'm in Paso Robles (which is hopefully soon).

Came here with an appointment. We had the absolute pleasure of having Emily serve us. She was absolutely amazing and super friendly. It was an amazing experience.The wines were very solid. Came home with a bottle of The charcuterie board they offered was really good as well to pair with their rides. They have great outdoor area. We would love to stay in the trailers by the lake. I definitely recommend checking this place out. Great wine and great people like Emily.

Alta Colina is an absolute must when you are in Paso. If you are fortunate, you will score a tasting experience with Ed, a genuine foodie that educated us about Alta Colina's sophisticated winemaking practices, as well as all of the best restaurants in Paso. The Toasted Slope Syrah is heavenly, but the real star is the Vin de Paille dessert wine. I had nothing like this at any of the other wine tastings. I don't normally go for sweet wines, but this is perfectly balanced and the honey finish is divine. I will certainly return and am excited to do their Hilltop Tasting!

This review is a massive shout out for IVEY! I work across the valley at another winery, and from our patio I would always see this ridge line covered in vines, with a massive single tree right in the middle of it. I always wondered where and what that location was, and it turns out it's the summit tasting deck of Alta Colina. It's one of the best vantage points anywhere in Paso, so picturesque it was featured on a billboard for Paso wine country! Anyways, I decided this would be the perfect place to propose to my girlfriend. I literally planned it one day in advance for a busy Saturday, and Ivey was incredibly sweet and gracious over the phone, more than happy to accommodate us at the last minute and very excited to be a part of our love story! She gave us a two hour window up there, all by ourselves. I purchased a few bottles over the phone, picked them up the following day, and we drove to the top of the hill. It was incredibly windy but the proposal went off perfectly (she said yes, of course) We had tasted there once before, and the wines are absolutely lovely. I can't recall the older gentleman's name that hosted us, but he was incredibly warm, friendly and knowledgeable. He knew the wines inside and out and was more than happy to accommodate us for a walk in tasting. Everyone we've dealt with at Alta Colina has been extremely friendly and accommodating. There's a lot of great wine in Paso, and over the years the places that stand out the most are the ones where the employees seem happy, excited to host you, and knowledgeable about their wines and histories. Great job Alta Colina! Keep up the great work!!

We received our selection of wines as part of the wine membership we joined. I am really happy with the entire process. Maggie kept us informed all the time. It was very simple to order and they also shared their activities during the harvest. It made feel like if I was there. I feel more attached to their wine. I am buying an experience a story not just wine.

While in Paso visiting the bestie, she said she wanted to taste at this winery, as they are known for growing and making delicious mourvedre wine. In fact, Paix Sur Terre, whom we love, sources some of their grapes from this winery. We stopped in and had a lovely taste and chat with one of the owners. As some have said, the $20 tasting fee is pretty steep in Paso, but after tasting (and then buying) some wine, the fee was waived. Beautiful spot, great wines, friendly people. Glad to have found another delicious winery!

Im usually not a huge GSM blend fan but Alta Colina makes one of the best ones around! Even if you are not a fan of Grenache or Mourvedre this is such a quality version that it may surprise you, and if you are a fan of GSMs you will be in heaven. $20 tasting fee, or waived with a two bottle purchase. Bottles in the ~$50 range non-club. Only bummer is we left our bottles at our friends house and didn't realize it until we got back to LA. Just another return to go back and visit!

In the search for something safe and fun to do on my birthday, I came across Alta Colina's website. On their website I read about their To-Go Self-Guided wine tastings. Unfortunately, they were sold out on my birthday. Fortunately, I called and they were gracious enough to squeeze me in. We arrived at the vineyard at our scheduled time, picked up our wine tasting kit, and were giving directions on getting to the deck in the middle of the vineyard. The kit includes four 4oz bottles of wine, cups and literature on each wine we were about to taste. We sat on a bench on the deck, drank wine and enjoyed the beautiful views. Thank you, Alta Colina, for the great service and experience.

Fantastic tasting experience with friendly Ed, who was kind enough to pour us a few extra tastes and gave us some great local recommendations. Thank you!

After reading several positive reviews on Yelp of this vineyard, my partner and I decided to try a tasting while we were in the Paso Robles are for the weekend. What an incredible decision it was! Upon arriving we were greeted by Ed, who offered us so much history about the wines, the owners, and the passion behind entire Alta Colina brand. We enjoyed our wines overlooking a peaceful, beautiful hillside. I genuinely appreciated how few crowds were here, especially in times of COVID. And yes, this wine is great! We even left the vineyard as it's newest members. For dinner that evening when we saw an Alta Colina Grenache blanc on the wine menu at dinner we knew we had to get it. While the wines were a real treat (some of my favorites I've tasted in quite a while), Ed was the real showstopper. We even received a thank you note after joining the wine club in the mail from him. That level of service and knowledge is a rare combination. Thank you Ed!

Amazing spot! Great wine Great service Beautiful views Great prices I would recommend you call weeks in advance to book a tour up the vineyard

I can't wait to visit in the spring. This was a very pleasant visit. The owner, Bob was absolutely welcoming and spent time with us sharing the history of the vineyard. My favorite wine has to be the estate Syrah. Their Grenache blend was also flavorful. We bought four bottles and I cannot wait to enjoy them.

We had a great tasting with some informative service and lovely and interesting wines, including a grenache produced through carbonic maceration. They were very tolerant of our restless 10-month-old and even brought him toys and let him pet the sweet German shepherd, Honey. We didn't once feel rushed or pressured during our visit. Looking forward to returning!

Amazing! The wine, service and scenery were spectacular! Lots of wineries here are great, but Alta Colina took my breath away! Thanks Ed for the great service and knowledge. Even got to meet why owner and daughter!

These are wonderful people. During a weekend of wine tasting in Paso Robles, Alta Colina was definitely the highlight. My two friends and I reserved a "behind the cellar door" tasting, which was so worth it at only $20 a person. We were warmly greeted with some wine when we walked in, and then Malia took us back to their barrel room, where there was a great little tasting prepared for us at a beautiful walnut table. It was a bit chilly back there, but luckily blankets were provided! The wines here were all fantastic! And Malia was super friendly and did a great job of answering all of our questions. She even took us on a little tour of the production facility and crush pad. I decided to join the wine club because I loved it so much, and now look forward to an excuse to come back here at least twice a year. The next day, I asked my friend to rank the five wineries we had gone to - and her response was "Alta Colina, Alta Colina, Alta Colina." If that wasn't enough, about a week later I received a handwritten thank you note in the mail from Malia! I can't wait to go back!

Intimate boutique setting, lovely wine and people. Enjoyed our tasting at Alta Colina. The tasting room is very intimate and the owners are around to help pour and answer questions. They have a lovely little lake with vintage trailers to rent during Spring/Summer. A great spot to visit while in Paso.

LOVE THIS WINERY! Excellent wines, and the taisting room well the staff is amazing. Happy employees especially Michelle thank you for greating us and showing around. The exceptional experiance. This is one must vist winerys in Paso Robles CA. Will deffinatly return.

the pros: friendly staff, super cute wine dog Honey, nice wines the cons: $20 tasting, fee waived with two bottle purchase we were looking for dog friendly wineries in the area since we were travelling with our dog, and we stumbled upon alta colina. they are very dog friendly! in fact, you might get to meet their super sweet german shepherd Honey! our dog loved meeting her. they also have dog treats for your pup! the pricing was around $50ish a bottle, a little too pricey for us, but we did enjoy the tasting!

Cute family owned winery. $20 for a tasting. Great GSMs. Very knowledgeable and eager to share their story. Would definitely recommend this winery and go back again next time!

We had an AMAZING visit to Alta Colina! Bob and Lynne are the NICEST people and make GREAT wines! Can't wait to go back!

We stopped here during our wine outing with friends and we were super glad we did! We were a group of 6 and showed up without a reservation and Nathaly greeted us at the door like we were old friends who hadn't seen each other in a while. We asked if we were able to do a tasting and luckily for us, a large group canceled before we arrived so we were helped out right away. Nathaly immediately started pouring the awesome wines with her super friend vibe. The wines were awesome for sure, we enjoyed the Viognier quite a bit and all of the reds they poured, but my favorite was probably the Toasted Slope and the Petite Syrah, really bold but approachable wines and we ended up taking a few bottles home. What really made this place special was the awesome service from Nathaly though, we had a great time with her for sure. She took us back to check out the barrel room and tasting area back there, and let us know about the vineyard tasting they arranged by reservation. We were super intrigued so we ended up booking that vineyard tasting the next morning with her which only could really be described as an incredible experience. I would highly recommend booking the vineyard tasting if you're able, I would do it again in a heartbeat. We had such a good time here and enjoyed the wines so much we signed up for the membership. Well, I should say we tried to sign up, but there's a waiting list so we are now on that list. Here's to hoping we'll be on the membership soon. Thanks again Nathaly for the experience and helping introduce us all to this great winery!

We were so fortunate to have Bob Tillman, the owner and former winemaker, lead us through our tasting at Alta Colina. Not only did he answer our many questions about the terroir and the winemaking process, but he gave us some absolutely delightful wines to taste. The Grenache Blanc was fantastic and quite unique, as was the carbonic Grenache. The reds were a treat, including my favorite, a Durif (also known as Petite Sirah). Alta Colina is a must visit, must taste for those visiting the Paso AVA. We will definitely return to Alta Colina, frequently!

My boyfriend and I decided that this was going to be the place for our first wine tasting. We did a summit tour and wasn't disappointed! The grounds were beautiful and we had a wonderful time chatting with Bob over a few bottles of wine. We ended up going home with two - we were particularly pleased with their GSM. I would highly recommend spending the extra money for the beautiful view and private experience!

We had a great time at Alta Colina! The grounds are beautiful and the To-Go Tasting kit was a really nice way to take it all in while enjoying some delicious wines. The views from the top of the winery are incredible, we'll definitely return the next time we are in Paso!

Small wine room, average wines, $20 tasting. They were written up in Wine Spectator for their amazing views but when we showed up, it seems that room is for special guests and not the usual folks. Not a good way to spend $40. Rather buy a bottle in downtown Paso a few miles away. Nice people though.

We really enjoyed Alta colina. The tasting experience was very laid back, the wines were very good and approachable. They provided blankets on a chilly afternoon. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back.

How do you rate a winery... attentive, yes. Melissa was informative about the wine and a great conversation. Wine room... it was spacious (on a Tuesday) couple of couches to chill and enjoy the wine. The wine, that's up to you but they do have items worth trying, really.

A small production family winery whose tasting room is collocated with Villicana. The tasting room is small, really small. The lady that poured for us appeared to be a family member, and was well versed in all their wines. We tasted the following here: 2010 Claudia Cuvée - a white, ok; but I was looking for reds! 2009 Mourvèdre - not bad, but I am not a Mourvèdre fan 2010 Toasted Slope Syrah - good; my favorite, and we took a bottle 2010 Ann's Block Petite Sirah - good; but not my favorite Petite Sirah 2010 Late Harvest Vigonier - my wife really liked this, so we took a bottle I was hoping to taste their Old 900 Syrah, but they either weren't pouring it that day or they were sold out. Maybe next time! Our tasting was comp'd due to a Yelp check in offer. They honored even though i was having trouble checking in in the tasting room. All in all, I liked Alta Colina and would recommend stopping and tasting their wines. I'm leaning towards 3.5 stars for them.

Beautiful ambiance. I felt like I was home. They took such amazingly good care of us. And ALL the wine was an 8 or better on a 1-10 scale. The wine maker was present to talk to. The back story of the vineyard was so fun to hear from Lynn the wine makers wife. The passion and love they devote to their wine is clear in everything they do. Thank you Lynn for making our day special.

This winery is amazing. Bob the owner took us on a private tour and tasting which was so lovely. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and the wines are some of the best I tasted in this region. A must see when touring wineries in Paso.

This place is a hidden treasure! My brother and Sister-in-Law brought my wife and I here today. It was a roller coaster ride for the pallet! Our favorites were the Viognier and Petite Syrah, which surprised me because my wife has never been a fan of Syrah. Melissa was pouring, she was very knowledgeable and sweet, she definitely spoiled us! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I had to fight myself not to send the last 2 Magnums of Rose back home to Louisiana. We will be back.

They don't produce a bad wine. Just such a great family winery. They took my Mom and I in last minute which was awesome after 5hr drive. Owners were very thoughtful and took special care of my Mom who has been caring for ill husband. Very rare to find a winery that you really like all the wines. Will definitely be back!

Without a doubt, one of the most unique, differentiated and overall best winery experience (includes visits to Paso, Napa, Sonoma, Santa Barbara and Monterey)! So, what made it so special and different, literally a little slice of heaven? First, my visit began with me arriving early and before they had actually opened. I was immediately met in the parking lot, with a vibrant and smiling Melissa Swanson, with a perfectly chilled and very tasty Rose. Her exuberance, genuinely welcoming me, made me instantly feel at home and definitely set the stage for the main event... The 'Summit Vineyard Tasting' - An intimate, personalized tasting (limited to 4 participants - it just so happened on this day, I was the sole guest), conducted by the founder of Alta Colina - Bob Tillman or, in my case, AC's co-owner, Maggie Tillman, Bob's daughter. There is the tasting room on Adelaida Rd, THEN there is THE 'tasting room' a mile away, up to the top of Toasted Slope Hill - approximately 1,250 ft higher in elevation. As Maggie chauffeured, literally through the vineyard, she passionately provided me an overview of the 15 blocks of grapes and the corresponding types of Rhone styled wines they produce. In particular, she emphasized the change of altitude afforded Alta Colina, providing the geographical advantage of greater sun exposure and extended maturation time of the fruit. (This was just the beginning of my 'education'). There at the top of the hill, was a majestic oak, shading a wooden deck, not only overlooking the entire Alta Colina vineyard, but thousands of acres of oak forest within the Coast Range as well as, other surrounding vineyards for as far as the eye could see. As we approached the deck through a vine row, Maggie stopped and pointed out 'veraison', the grapes were beginning to change color, ripen. Being I had never been in the middle of an actual vineyard, much less actually touching vines and grapes firsthand, this led me to numerous questions, which Maggie enthusiastically, patiently and effortlessly addressed. From the difference of 'head trained' vines, to demonstrating how their vines are pruned to only two 'spurs', our conversation continued on to the shaded deck where Maggie poured four wines - Grenache Blanc, Carbonic Grenache, GSM and Petite Sirah. I found each to be very distinct and thoroughly enjoyable. I was most intrigued with the Carbonic Grenache - 'carbonic' (once again learned something else about wine making) as Maggie explained the actual fermentation process takes place in an environment of dry ice and CO2 gas and occurs within the berry vs the juice. Please allow me to emphasize the fact that this entire 90 minutes felt like I was sharing questions, knowledge, thoughts and ideas with my best friend. Maggie had no script, no predetermined 'sales pitch', she was just being herself and letting me take our conversation wherever I wanted to go. I ended my visit back at the Adelaida Rd tasting room to enjoy a glass of the Carbonic Grenache and try another of their reds, 'BTG Red'. In true Alta Colina hospitality and family spirit, Maggie had gone to get Bob and introduced us. I could see the pride and passion in Mr. Tillman's face as I extolled the greatness of Maggie, Toasted Slope and their wine. Had I not had another appointment forthcoming, I have no doubt he would have insisted that the three of us share more wine and conversation out on the patio. Thus, the environment, experience and vibe that makes Alta Colina SO special...I can't wait to return!!!

Oh honey !!!!! I loved her. Best winery dog yet. The wine was delicious and the price point for this quality is a steal of a deal. Like others, Toasted Slope was my fave. The wines tasted very "clean" (if that makes sense). Maggie was knowledgable (as to be expected as she/her family owns the winery I believe) but also funny and down to earth. No pretense which was refreshing and appreciated. TR is small so I'd imagine weekends might get busy?? Maybe call and see if you can get an appointment or something because it'd be a shame to miss this winery if you're in the Adelaida district. I stopped in Monday early November and thought I had written a review. Alas I had not. But! I want to go back and check out the Pond and the cute renovated vintage(?) trailers!

Alta Colina is a great winery with very nice wines. Melissa in the tasting room is absolutely fantastic. 5 stars for great customer service!
