Monarch Grove Winery Tasting Room — Restaurant in Grover Beach

Almost stopped in here today. But then I remembered when I came in here last time.... How I got the paired tasting...had some wines and cheeses given. I drank n ate. On my last taste, another couple came in... Dressed very nicely in business attire. They got the same thing as me.

And imagine my surprise as a newbie wine taster that Certain cheeses go with Certain wines!!!??? I had NO CLUE. I wonder if maybe my backpack somehow told the host that I wouldn't be interested in such info.... I feel my experience here was quite lacking. Especially when I found other tasting places 33% to 66% less expensive.

Being that I've now Walked the US West Coast 3Times in spite of barely being able to walk thanx to Fibromyalgia...the Reason I have walked over 5100 miles since April 2016.

I'm learning which tasting rooms have great customer service and which ones don't. Unfortunately this one doesn't. Maybe I hit there on an "off" day...but not chancing wasting time on a partially fulfilled experience that was fully paid for.

I had the pleasure of spending my last hour in Grover Beach before my train ride home at this cozy little tasting room with 2 of the nicest women (and an adorable dog!). I had a tasting and enjoyed every single wine, but was especially impressed with their delightfully dry rosé and zinfandel/syrah blend. The wine was excellent and so was the conversation and welcoming atmosphere.

If you're visiting Grover Beach, I would highly recommend making this your first stop so that you can stock up on wines...

This is definitely a hidden gem. Its a very family oriented winery and is located in a very small building. The owner was there when me and my girlfriend came in for her birthday and for most of our tasting it was just us. He was super kind and showed us some cool tricks to impress customers at our jobs. On top of that the wine flights are very affordably priced. I would highly recommend people buy a bottle or two after your done. The owners dog is also always there and he's...
