Adorable tasting room started by a family from France. The ground is beautiful and tasting experience feels intimate. Tasting is conducted mostly on their outdoor patio overlooking one of their vineyards. Great Rhone varietal and Cab & Syrah blends

I added Rangeland to our itinerary because we needed a place for lunch and saw that they serve grass-fed burgers on weekends. It was the best choice ever! Not only the burger was amazing, they have great wines especially for the price (true Paso prices compared to Napa 😂), and the ground was beautiful. I can’t recommend it enough even if you are not into burgers.

Multiple people recommended Law Estate so it was one of the first on our itinerary when we booked a weekend trip to Paso. Estate is beautiful and each party is hosted by a dedicated host. While it’s considered small, various tasting areas did feel like a more established winery. Good stop for a small group as they have a glass-enclosed room that felt very private!

Another small new winery in Paso that just opened up the tasting room in 2020. However, they have been making wines since 2012 and currently pouring 2012, 2013, 2015 wines. Great if you like tasting older vintages! I found zero information about the winery but thought I’d try it out and glad I did. Their Chardonnay was really refreshing and good, we ended up taking a bottle home. Also liked their red blend!

Super friendly boutique winery on the west side of Paso. Small team of ~6, they emailed me even before the visit to ask about preferences and to give us other winery recommendations. Winemaker used to work for Law Estates and consults for numerous wineries in the area and we can totally see why! More and more small wineries are popping up in Paso and seeing a lot more Rhone blends in the area, which Torrin also is great for. Our host gave us a surprise pour of new Chardonnay that was JUST bottled, didn’t even have a label on it! We ended up buying couple bottles of Banshee (GSM).
