CaliPaso Winery and Villa

Beautiful grounds. Poor signage to find restaurant or tasting room. Disorganized restaurant. Kitchen in separate bldg. Across courtyard. Tasty, but not spectacular.

Driving back from Monterey car week we "accidentally" found CaliPaso Winery and Restaurant and am I glad we did! The grounds are very beautiful and well kept in a nice Tuscan/villa style. We were told that they also do a lot of weddings there and I can see why as the décor is stunning and takes me back to nice Italian villas.

We were greeted by our host Stephanie who was super enthusiastic and knowledgeable about all the food and wine and gave some great suggestions on one what to get.

Did I mention food and wine? Well.the mozzarella pearls were by far the BEST version of mozzarella sticks I have ever had. I think it was the fact that they use fresh mozzarella pearls that makes the difference. Super crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.

For my main course I had the flat iron steak that I asked for medium rare and it was cooked to perfection.something many restaurants seem to get wrong on such a thin steak. It came with some veg and mashed potatoes that I though at first were sweet potatoes but were actually mashed potatoes and pureed red bell pepper and spices. Hats off to chef Justin for not only making the food delicious but also visually appealing and that much more special.

One of my friends had the Cali burger and seriously.look at that melted cheese!

So if you are ever passing through Paso Robles stop in and give them a shot. If you are a local.support this place and keep your dollars in your community. Stephanie, Justin and all the other staff will treat you well, serve you great food and wine (more on the spectacular Cabernet Sauvignon in another review) and make you want to come back again and again.

Beautiful place, with average food and poor service! The food was average, with the halibut and cioppino being unspectacular and bland. Most importantly, the service was terrible and disappointing. Besides the main courses, we also ordered a bottle of red, coke and two additional kids items. The server causally gave my wife her coke can without a glass, they did not have cups for the kids… overall, I felt a sense of uninterested in her service towards us. We would appreciate some courtesy and professionalism from the staff.

We loved this place. We were up in the hills finishing up a wine tasting and wanted a relaxing spot to keep the wine flowing and have a delicious meal. This place was perfect. We sat outside on the terrace. Beautiful setting, cool evening breeze, excellent service and exceptional meal. Can't say enough good things about this spot. It has an Inn on-site and is a wedding venue. The restaurant is new and is a hidden gem.

My wife and I were happy with all aspects of our stay. The suite was large, the property was dog friendly, and the service was good. The owners have done a really great job with this property. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful. Very kind staff. The food in the restaurant was fantastic. Will definitely be back soo

Stephanie the Restaurant Manager was the Best. So friendly and so accommodating. Aurora was our waitress she was so personal Our food was fabulous and the service was amazing

The atmosphere was great, only matched by the staff and food! Highly recommend and we will be back!

CaliPaso Winery & Villa is a must see place! Beautiful architecture and excellent wines!

Upon arrival we were already blown away by the beauty of the layout. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. There is only a small finite amount of rooms which made the grounds so peaceful, exclusive, and quiet. When we entered our room we were at a loss for words. BEAUTIFUL! The view from the balcony was overseeing the vineyards and left us in awe. My wife and I decided that this would be the only place we would want to stay at if we have overnight ventures here. Highly recommend!

We are right in the middle of our stay, and so far everything has been perfect. The property is beautiful, the rooms are spacious with wonderful views, and they are taking precautions for covid-19. Breakfast is delicious.

Chris and I were excited to plan our intimate elopement at CaliPaso on the weekend of July 31st - as we were a big fan from the first time we visited their stunning property. Ruth was the biggest help in getting our special long weekend set up. She contacted me consistently from every detail of the flowers/altar set-up, cake, musician, ceremony planning, and villa accommodations, with special ordered wines and meal after our big moment.

We had a world class 6 course meal at our private villa by Chef Chris. He went above and beyond to ensure delicious, beautiful, and delivered on the VIP experience. Our server was amazingly friendly and helped us with a memorable service. Our food consisted of the 3 appetizers of bruschetta, Italian meatball, tortellini skewers, the wedge salad, and their famous Santa Maria Tri Tip main course. He also took care of our vendors the musician and the videographer and photographer with healthy and yummy meals.

Luckily we had the best Spanish classical guitarist come play the intro and outro of our ceremony. If you want to reach out to Jack Cimo - he's a local and incredibly talented. Took the time to learn Speechless by Sarah Reeves and played for us throughout the dinner even beyond the planned time. We were thrilled with him being part of our day. He really helped pulled it all together in a unique way. Chris and I danced our first dance to him singing French!

The flower vendor was Julia's Flowers with Kirstin Jaureguy helping put together an exquisite assembling of a big wooden arch with the most delicate and gorgeous flowers ever!

Our cake was created by Cake Cathedral by Jenny Perello. A nude cake was made and was perfect for our party of 4.

The makeup artist was the talented Rhyan Townsend through Rozetree Bridal. She came in early and treated us ladies with care and is just a super cool lady to get to know.

The last crucial part of our wedding was the live footage set up by The Cinestory (Los Angeles) with Dan the owner/videographer, and Egor the photographer! They were amazing at capturing all the right moments, putting it together and delivering the end product beautifully.

We ended the weekend experience with the amazing Hot Air Balloon ride with Phoebe Brown of Balloons Over Paso.

For the situation it was during Covid, they all helped us pull together a incredible and special time for our marriage and we honestly loved every bit of it. It felt like we had the whole grounds to ourselves during the ceremony. Having a private balcony to eat on was perfect. We could hear the goats, see the vineyards, smell the crisp fresh air, and have the quiet we enjoyed.

Please check out all these vendors if you want an easy elopement style wedding in Paso Robles: D
