Agree that Chateau Margene is the best winery in Paso Robles. The experience is like being at a friend's house in Provence. And I left my sunglasses and they sent them. That's how cool they are.

We are so impressed by the outstanding Cabernet Sauvignons and other wines that Chateau Margene is crafting. This family owned winery is a MUST-VISIT for serious wine enthusiasts. You can geek out with Michael as much as you want and pick up interesting and valuable information not only about wine making, but vineyard management. He is a great person, always happy to greet you and chat it up with you. So Paso friendly!

My husband and I came here on the recommendation of an acquaintance who's also a club member. About a half hour from where we were staying in Paso, it was definitely worth the trek. The road in (at least the route we took) is windy and scenic, and the estate is peaceful - the perfect place to enjoy delicious wine even on a cool, misty day. Small production, organic farming, family owned and operated. Advance reservations are required and easy to make online. Tastings are intimate, and our host and winemaker, Michael, shared interesting details about their practices and processes. Every pour was generous, and everything we tasted was outstanding. We came away with three favorites in tow and were told we'd be credited for one of our tastings as a result. Will definitely add Chateau Margene into our regular rotation when we're in the area again!

Chateau Margene is 100% the best winery in Paso Robles. Everything blew us away - right from the sparkling wine to the whites to the reds. The owner had the attitude of someone who knows he's amazing at what he does and honestly that added to the charm of the place lol.Stop by here next time you're in the area and you will definitely be happy you did.Oh and they have 2 pups!

OK, I'm NOT a "wine snob". I do however know what I like. This winery was recommended to my wife and I by a neighbor who's daughter was married on the grounds and they enjoyed the wine as well. My wife and I were in the Paso Robles area and we decided to make a reservation for a tasting and tour. I really can not convey to you how much we; 1) LOVED the wine. 2) Appreciated the staff 3) LOVE the outdoor tasting area.Let's start with the reservation process. Like so very many businesses, tremendous strides have been made in relation to modernization and making things more "web accessible". Simply put, the reservation process is simple and efficient. The only comment (does not detract from anything), we were the first guests of the day and we were never informed in advance of the gate code...problem solved by a quick phone call and conversation with the host. Winery grounds are beautiful and very relaxed. Guests can easily have conversations and not worry about being overheard by other guests. Tasting experience! AHHH! THIS is why you're here! Just like many wineries, you start with one wine and move along to other varieties. We received generous pours and this allowed us to really sample and enjoy what was poured. For an additional cost, you can purchase a cheese / bread plate...DO IT! WOW! Fantastic choices and it's AMAZING how the perceived flavors of the wine change. EXCELLENT! I must say that I never felt pressured into purchasing anything or joining any "wine club". Simply put, there's no need. The high quality product that they are making sells itself!Now let's talk about the tour. OK, to say it was a small group would be an understatement. The only people on the tour was my wife and I. The grounds are compact and everything is done within the grounds of the winery. The passion and knowledge that was conveyed was fantastic! Because we were such a small group and we really connected with the staff, we were asked if we would be interested in doing a barrel tasting. ARE YOU KIDDING? AB-SO-LUTELY! What an amazing experience! I'll be completely honest, my wife and I did decide to purchase some wine and we left with a mixed case. This experience was in late April 2021 (we have a reservation to return in late June 2021).In summary, this winery is slightly off the main road but I would HIGHLY recommend it (so long as you leave some wine for me when I need it).

Loved chatting with the winemaker, Michael, an easy-going personality who's happy to share his extensive wine knowledge with visitors. Both the wine tasting and the Roxo port tasting were well worth the trip, and the grounds are a beautiful, scenic spot for an afternoon of indulging in their delicious wines. Overall a wonderful experience!
