One of the first environmentally sustainable in practice (SIP) wineries in the Edna Valley area, on a stunningly beautiful estate. When driving in, we almost thought this could be south France or Tuscany. The Edna Valley area is known for its Pinot Noir but surprisingly we fell in love with their award-winning riesling and syrah. Their riesling was extremely fragrant, reminiscent of honey and roses, and was on the drier side like what they make in Alsace, France. The syrah was not as bold as what I had expected but I find it actually more palatable and very enjoyable - it will pair well with some grilled lamb. Their sparkly wines were exceptional as well. The best part of all is that these wines are all pesticide free. With their sustainability practice, growing the grapes only use about half amount of the water that is normally needed. We were lucky to briefly meet the owner who is originally from France and clearly a visionary in artisan wine making. The tasting and dining area was beautiful, surrounded by flowers and wild birds, and the staff were all super friendly and attentive. What we love about these wineries in the Central Coast area is that they are not crowded with tourists like those in Napa and Sonoma but the wines are really top notch - you can really taste the terroir in the wines, while sitting in the gorgeous gardens, feeling the subtle ocean air that gently blows through the scenic rolling hills.

Read moreI have been a club member of Wolff Vineyards for nearly a decade. It is one of the small pleasures of my life to come here every so often and just "be" in one of my favorite spots in one of my favorite cities on planet earth with an exceptional glass of wine amongst the individuals that make this town as great as it is. Everyone there is so down to earth but absolutely badass in terms of their experience with farming grapes and making wine. Most everyone pouring is going to be able to go well beyond tasting notes -- they'll tell you if it was a hot summer that year, a wet or dry winter or what the yields were like. They'll tell you about the process and how to age your bottles until they're at peak for drinking. They'll go into each variety, where it grows, why it grows there, what makes it what it is. They made me love wine because they take the pretense right out of it and replace it with the love of nature and science. Do you know when you meet a person or a group of people who are so knowledgeable at what they do that they don't need to talk anything up. ...
Read moreJust visited Wolff Vineyards yesterday, and I’m still on cloud nine! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was absolutely enchanting, with stunning views of the rolling vineyards. The staff welcomed us with warm smiles and made us feel like we were part of the family. We even took some vineyard tours with Third Wheel Tours. We got to get up close and personal with the scenery, which was the most fun!
But let me tell you about the star of the show—the Petite Sirah! 😍 It was hands down the best I’ve ever had. I couldn't get enough! The tasting experience was perfect, with just the right balance of knowledge and fun.
If you’re in the San Luis Obispo area, Wolff Vineyards is a must-visit! I’m already planning my next trip back. Cheers to incredible wine and unforgettable...
