Center of Effort

On December 14th, I visited this winery with my family, and we experienced very slow service, despite it not being crowded. Unfortunately, the wine tasting was the worst part of our day. We decided to leave early and head to another winery in Edna Valley. Although the location and facilities were great, the service left much to be desired.

This winery by far has exceeded our expectations and the host, Emilly, made the experience over the top perfect. I cannot recommend this winery enough- if you're visiting the Arroyo Grande Edna Valley CA this is a must. The wine is awesome and Emilly was the most amazing host we became friends with.

Incredible location and tasting menu. The Chenin Blanc is outstanding, their Pinot is one of the best I've tasted, and the Il Due (Grenache/Syrah blend) will leave you craving more. Thank you to Emily and the whole tasting room staff for a memorable experience. I've never had concrete aged wine and after it was explained to me how it enhances the character of a varietal, I'm a fan.

Center of effort winery is a very beautiful place to wine taste. They have the best view of the Edna valley. definitely gonna go back there again and the staff are very kind

We came here for a quick tasting and were shocked at how accommodating and pleasant the experience was! Rob and Chuck both stopped by our table a number of times with wines and to answer our questions. We chose to add the charcuterie board to our tasting and it was so delicious. The tasting room is so elegant and beautifully designed, which made for a very fun time. We were fully satisfied and will be back again soon!

I booked an estate tour and tasting for a girls' trip, and we had a fantastic experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about wine, the wine itself was delicious, and the setting was spectacular. We had so much fun. I highly recommend a visit.

My husband and I love this winery! The customer service is incredibly friendly, easy paced and the perfect compliment to their lovely wines. I loved every wine I tasted but the story of their Chenin Blanc made my heart happy! Make a reservation stat and support this local gem!

We had an amazing time at the Center having a private lunch that was paired with wine. The service was excellent!!!! They were waiting for us outside when we arrived, and escorted us to a beautifully set dining table outside on the patio. The Chef made an excellent lunch and described each dish to us, along with the wine pairing for that dish. Everyone there was so friendly and attentive. They created a very special wine tasting and lunch experience for us. The wine, the food, the service, the atmosphere....all excellent!!!!
