Cerro Prieto Vineyard & Cellars

We were fortunate to have engaged Lush Limo and our driver Jesse recommended this winery as being one of the best in the region.
The tasting takes place in the owners kitchen with a spectacular view of the landscapes which make it alone worth the trip. Add the incredible wines and the gracious owner and it’s an unbeatable experience.
The red wines are among the best we’ve ever tasted; every sip was remarkable and complex. This are wines that are meant to be savored; you can truly taste the subtle flavors that are usually missed in other wines. The Paso Bordo is wonderful, the Carbernet no less so. I honestly cannot pick a favorite because they were all spectacular.
This truly is a labor of love by the owner, Larry and he is a wonderful and educated host. He was patient and explained the background of each wine. This is a very small winery with very limited production. These wines will never be found in a store or restaurant; which is kind of a shame but sometimes very fine things are rare.

Thank you Larry for the wonderful and personal experience! Your home and view are beautiful and added to the perfect experience… And the wine. just YUMMY! (Best of the day!)It is obvious that love what you do! We can’t wait until fall when we receive our wine. We will offer up the very first toast to you and your lovely wife. You indeed helped make our birthday weekend extra special. Thank you both!

My friends and I have been wine tasting for over 20 years throughout Napa, Sonoma, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, and many other places including Italy, Australia, and South Africa. I can honestly say that this was my best tasting EVER! The winemaker/​owner hosted our group of 7 at his home for a private tasting. There is nothing like sitting in the winemaker’s beautiful home which has a gorgeous view of the hills/​vineyards, while tasting and learning more about wine.
The owner Larry is very personable, and his wines were superb! Everyone in our group ended up joining his wine club as this is a very small production winery and you can’t buy them very easily outside of the club.
I would heartily recommend this winery as a stop for anyone wishing to taste excellent wines and learn more about wine in a very intimate setting.

Of the many wineries we visited in Paso Robles, the wines at Cerro Prieto were second to none!
