Cypher Winery - Paso Robles

Relaxing family friendly atmosphere. Comfortable indoor or outdoor seating. This place is our favorite!

This winery was exceptional! All the wines were excellent, and each served with a gourmet bite prepared by the owner. The tasting room and patio are lovely. Gracious service. Lovely selection of in-house flavored olive oils, vinegars, and salts.

As a fairly frequent visitor to Paso Robles, I try to make a point to visit a new Winery each trip. This trip, I stopped by Cypher Winery ... just outside of Downtown at the train station. Be warned ... Cypher is not Justin, Daou, Booker, or Tablas Creek (all wonderful wineries, with a formal approach to wine tasting). Cypher is a relaxed vibe. The wines are good, with some familiar blends and some unique blends, the service was good and the food that accompanied the wine tasting was nice and well paired. We were greeted and served by Sam the winemaker and owner of Cypher. The atmosphere is very relaxed. It has the vibe of visiting a friend of a friend, who is excited to show off her wines. Be warned that if the place gets busy, you might wait to be greeted and seated (even with a reservation), you might have to wait for a pour, and you might engage in conversations with Winery regulars and other guests. Just relax and go with the flow.

The wine blends are incredible. Each bouquet is its own delightful adventure. The combinations in these bottles are highly selected by the winemaker and it's apparent in the flavors. To top it off, the tasting room cultivates food pairings that make the wines pop. Had a stellar time learning from Jim so we will be back with regularity!!! 12/10 worth a long visit.

Stopped into this tasting room while waiting for my train in Paso Robles. Connor was an excellent tasting room host and the wine was remarkable. I especially enjoyed “The Fifth Element.”
