Robert Hall Winery
Owned and operated by Robert Hall, this is a state-of-the art wine
facility. They produce 11 varietals of wine both Rhone and the traditional
varietals. The wines are aged in barrels that are stored in their
19,000 square foot cavern system. The Robert Hall Winery is known
for its dedication to their estate vineyards and the production
of small lots of wine. If you get a chance take a tour so you can
check out the extensive cavern system. To get to Robert Hall travel
on Highway 46 East from Garretson and you will see the winery on
the right.

EOS Estate Winery
Continue on Highway 46 East and you can't miss the beautiful estate
EOS winery. The winery currently produces wine under three labels.
The EOS labeled wines are estate wines and are recognized for their
quality. Arciero and Novella are the other two labels. The Novella
label is used to designate their Italian style wines. The tasting
room is very spacious and filled with all types of wine merchandise
and other items for sale. The picnic area is also very inviting
with views of the vineyards and winery. There is also a self-guided
winery tour that visitors can take.
Tasting room open daily, Phone:805 239-2562

Chumeia Vineyards
In contrast to Robert Hall and EOS, Chumeia is a very small winery
but loads of fun to visit. The atmosphere is informal and you will
enjoy tasting some very well made wines. Chances are you will run
into the co-owner and winemaker Lee Nesbitt. Since the tasting room
is actually in the winemaking facilities, Lee will probably be in
close proximity. He just might jump in and tell you himself about
the Chumeia wines. The winery produces 7500 cases per year from
grapes obtained from selected vineyards throughout Paso Robles and
other parts of California. The winery is located just a short distance
east from EOS
Tasting room open daily 10 am to 5 pm, Phone: (805) 226-0102 or (888) 343-9445.

Tobin James Cellars
The saloon type setting for a tasting room is quite unusual for
a winery but makes for a fun and relaxed atmosphere for wine tasting.
The “not so serious” attitude at Tobin James makes
it a popular spot for wine tasters of all sorts. Make sure you
visit this winery but be prepared, this can be a popular spot on
weekends. They have an extensive number of wine varietals. We enjoyed
the Syrah and their two reserve Zinfandels. Tobin James is the
last winery on this side of Highway 46 East. Turn back and head
for Eberle.
Tasting room open daily 10 am to 5 pm. Phone: (805) 239-2204

Eberle Winery
From Tobin James make your way back to Paso Robles on Highway 46
East. On the right just a few miles before Paso Robles you will
spot the signs for Eberle. Eberle is very popular especially on
weekends. If winemaker Gary Eberle is in the tasting room you are
sure to get a few laughs. He is a character! Visitors love to take
the cave tour that takes you through rows of gunnite caves. We think
the reasonably priced wines made by Eberle are all very good values.
Be sure to try the Steinbeck Syrah, and the Syrah Rose. The picnic
area is also quite beautiful, overlooking vineyards and rolling
hills.
Tasting room open daily 10 am to 5 pm, Phone: (805) 237-0344
