My favorite red wine in Paso! Always friendly service at their intimate tasting room with a beautiful vineyard view!

10/10 recommend this tasting room and all of the wines. Friendly dude managing the tasting room, with really good vibes. We bought a few cases because every bottle was great!

Wonderful wine and staff, it is our new go-to winery!! Highly recommend Aatto, Sisu, Noir, and Lothario for those that like reds. Relaxed ambiance and beautiful view of the hillside. Went three times the week I was visiting Paso and it delivered every time!

They have some good wines, in a beautiful surroundings. Not very accommodating with children, no food allowed inside but no seating outside either unless you are a member. Not allowed to taste wines that are just for members and did not tell how to become or maybe didn't want us as members perkele. Kippis sisu viinillä!

Another first time winery and we were extremely more than satisfied! Kukkula was our last stop for the day and it definitely was a Finnish finale! Their wines are very insatiable on the palate and create an appetite for more! We will definitely bring friends here for more tastes and chats with the friendly staff. Impressed by the wine maker and owner, Kevin, for all his creativity in the wines as well as the presentation for ambiance. His story that brought him to this leg of success is motivating and awe inspiring! We Left with a couple bottles to enjoy with friends back home! We will return soon ! Until then Kukkula, Bravo!

Lady who answered the phone was very lacking to say the least. The winemaker cancelled my reservation two minutes after sending me an email stating I could modify my reservation.Place doesn’t allow walk ins, phone reservations , and wants you to pay to even make a reservation. Never heard of this practice in the industry, in fact most places encourage cash paying customers so you can tip their employees (some places don’t have a gratuity line on their invoices)

If you enjoy the beautiful drive out to Justin Vineyards you have just passed one of the best California wineries with superb wines, interesting architecture and setting. Do make it a point to have Kukkula part of your Paso wine experience and some grand conversations with the grower/winemaker Kevin. By chance if you don’t get to see him, you will for sure at one of club member gatherings along with his gracious (great cook and olive oil maker) wife Paula! Kukkula wine is wonderfully distinctive and high quality. Our family and friends have enjoyed many harvest years! In my humble wine opinion, there’s no need to go further down the road!

Great wines, hospitality, and location! I've been a member here for years and can't say enough good things about kukkula. The owner, Kevin, is passionate about his wines and property, which are labors of love, and it comes through in everything he does.
We were very excited to try this vineyard.. we prepaid for 4 people to do a wine tasting, the lady that greeted us and was serving us was rude from the get go. She sat us and gave us our first tasting.. she left and didn't come back for some time.. I look over she is personally droning the wine. We asked her for clean glasses for a new wine and she got very annoyed... we had to walk away... the worst customer service ever!! I do not recommend visiting this place. There are so many amazing vineyards in the area.. this one is a waste of time.

We recently visited with some friends and to be honest I would never spend a dime there again, nor would I recommend this to any friends. There is equally if not way better wineries close by with wayyy better wine and at a much more reasonable price. Our experience started out great with the owner being very chatty and the tasting space is limited due to COVID but once the tasting was nearing the end is when the owner not only rushed us out, but first making sure to force our friends and I to buy two bottles each (on top of the tasting fee) in order to leave. This is when he turned very cold and he explained that the two bottles per person at the price of (55 each) minimum purchase was stated in the reservation and on the menu but we had told him this was not the case. The tastings were very minimal as we had small pours for the 5 reserve bottles we tried. Then as we were purchasing the bottles in order to decide between the 2 bottles that were available for purchase we had to convince him to give us just one more tasting of the two and finally he agreed. Honestly I would save your money for a winery that has not only better customer service but better prices too. Don't get jipped like we did!!

A must see while in Paso Robles! Kevin was a wonderful host and shared his many experiences and knowledge of wine was extraordinary. The wines are fantastic and look forward to many years of being in the wine club!
