Lovely setting, and the Pinot Noir was amazing! We had a large party, and sat inside because of the weather, but they set us up for a tasting in the dining room. It was really comfortable, seating 8! I had the Pinot flight, and I can’t recommend it enough.

Nice quaint winery along our route to slo. Pretty grounds easy drinking wines and casual vibe. Loved the music as well. Happy to have found a little hidden gem off the foxen canyon road. Joined the membership as we couldn’t decide which one we liked best. Great for Pinot noir and Chardonnay if you are in the hunt. Highly recommend , Al lso have a place to stay on site so planning for that for our next trip.

Central coast boutique gem! I can't say enough about the wine and hospitality. Worth a stop if you're in the area.

Who doesn't enjoy a spot to just getaway from your normal day to day grind. Let me tell you about this gorgeous gem I found on our wandering travel to Paso Robles. We wanted to try a winery we haven't had the honor of trying. What a gem! We were delightfully greeted with assistance with our selfie with the beautifully maintained and lovingly designed gardens. Anne shared the story of this fun spot and shared the region's specialty of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Huge PR fans we gave the PR flight a try. Already making plans to come back with a couple of friends for the Chardonnay flight. Come and enjoy a wonderful chat and great wine @Riverbench.

My Husband and I usually visit 2-3 times a year. This is our favorite winery on the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail. The atmosphere is wonderful and the setting is peaceful.The staff is terrific: friendly, knowledgeable and also efficient. We have never felt rushed. I like that there is a choice of tastings. The picnic basket offered is well worth the price. Looking forward to our next visit later this month.

We discovered this winery on our recent wine tour trip last September. It was our last stop and was the best of all! We sat at a small table for four on their beautiful front lawn. There's a lot of history to the main house that our wonderful server shared with us. I can't remember the details because I tasted too much good wine. I love, love, love their 2018 Pinot Noir. To me it smells peppery and on my first sip I taste spicy yet smooth back pepper. I just ordered two more bottle today since they went on sale. Their wines are not cheap, but we'll worth the discounted price of $44 per bottle.

Very enjoyable afternoon and very nice weather. All the staff were very pleasant, from Grant greeting us, to Casey and Anne pouring for us, as well as Grant, and Maddie getting our "Add-on" shipment for us. Delicious wines!

Thank you for helping us girls celebrate our friend's 70th birthday! We had a wonderful time in your beautiful garden setting.

I love this place! The staff is very friendly and accommodating, really nice shade, good tables, cute patio and very clean facility. Had a really nice time just sitting and reading my book!

We had a nice experience here. I think they're having trouble with their online reservations. We had a very knowledgeable staff help us. She explained the wines and the vineyard's offerings. There seems to be a time limit posted. We asked about it. They were not too worried about it because there was hardly anyone there. We ordered the picnic for 4. It is a good deal; however, we had to unwrap it all probably due to the COVID blues. This place would do so much better with some live music, food cooked on premise (or even a food truck), and eliminating the weird time limit.
