Sinor-LaVallee

We had so much fun here! Aly poured for us and she was so knowledgeable and just fun. No wine snootiness here! She educated us about the local Albariño variety and we bought a couple bottles of that as well as several bottles of their black label Pinot. Anytime we go to Avila this place will now be on our «must taste» list! Thanks Aly for being so kind and making the afternoon fun for us!

I don’t place many reviews, but the wine tasting here was just an absolutely delightful experience. Our party of 3 were the only people there at the time, so we got a great one-​on-​one discussion about all the wines by Aly, who was really wonderful. She was incredibly friendly and knowledgable and never rushed us while we slowly tasted through the wine menu. The wine itself was fantastic, even their Chardonnay (which is usually not a favorite of mine). I otherwise really enjoyed comparing their Pinot labels with one another, but the Syrah was hands-​down my favorite — just perfect! I had to take home multiple bottles for my wife to try as well. The tasting room itself is clean, elegant, and in a nice small beach location. I will certainly be back.

Loved this super cute winery in the middle of Avila Beach. Everyone was so nice and the wine was delicious and refreshing on the hot day we visited. I loved their Chardonnay and appreciated the variety they let you taste for the inexpensive fee. The tasting room is gorgeous and was empty except for me and my cousin when we went. We got a one on one tasting session with the pourer and she was great! A wonderful find-​put it on your list for when you’re next in Avila Beach.

What a find! Thankfully we were able to park to explore this tasting room. The wines are fantastic. The Syrah was my favorite. Aly was a darling and gave a nice background history of the small winery. She even suggested some other places to visit. And the wine club gives you great deals, too!

If you’re in Avila do yourself a favor and stop in at the Sinor-​LaValle for some of the best wine in the Central Coast. The tasting room is beautiful and just down the street from the beach. If you’re looking for great wine and a relaxed atmosphere this is the perfect place. The staff is so friendly, knowledgable and welcoming.

Absolutely superb wine — and Mike Sinor just infects you with his passion. The best Syrah in SLO Wine Country!
Plus, you can’t beat the location. Gorgeous tasting room!
