Derby Wine Estates: Tasting Room

Heard about this brand at the 2025 BlendFest event. My online wine tasting reservation with Ron, my host, was wonderful. My wine tasting began with whites (2021 Chardonnay, 2021 Viognier, 2023 Pinot Gris), progressing to reds (2021 Cabernet Franc, 2016 Mourvedre, 2017 Project Espana Red, 2018 Derbyshire Syrah, 2020 Implico, 2018 Malbec, 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Laura's Vineyard). The wine and the beautifully arranged charcuterie board, with salami meats, cheeses, olives, nuts, and crackers, made me feel fantastic. The blend of flavors and textures makes for a fun, shared experience with staff, friends, music and wine. I left the renovated 1922 Almond factory, library wine estate tasting room tour with three of my favorite red wines from my tasting (2020 Implico, 2018 Malbec, and 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Laura's Vineyard).I'll be coming back with family and friends to reserve the elevated chocolate and wine pairing experience in the Tower Wine Tasting lounge.

My mom and I were lucky enough to meet Nikki (the manager) and have her host our wine tasting. She was an amazing conversationalist, kind, and very informative. We had the best time, and the wine was delicious aswell. If you have a chance to visit, you must! Amazing vibes and amazing wine.

First time in Paso area. We had a great time sharing tastings with new friends at the tasting room. The Pinot Gris was crisp and refreshing on a warm summer day. The Cab Sauvignon from 2018 was dark, delicious, & drinkable.

The wine was delicious. The tasting experience was great and Sean helped us through, giving detailed information about each wine. Would definitely recommend for visiting either for wine tasting or purchasing your next order of wine

Derby Wine Estates in Paso Robles makes a variety of interesting, refreshing varietal wines and blends, in a super-interesting building. The family got their start growing grapes in 1998, gaining the farming knowledge needed to make great wines. 10 years later, they launched their own label. Now located in the historic Almond Growers Association building in downtown Paso Robles, they continue to create high-quality wines and a lovely pink sparkling wine made of Pinot Noir. Age has added an amber color and tart fruit complexity to the 2007 vintage. Perfect for the Paso wine lover or pink bubbles lover.

Thank you Sean and Danny for a wonderful time today! We chose this place because it fit our route back home and had great reviews. We had no idea what a gem this place is. Wine tasting is about the wine yes BUT its also about the experience. Sean and Danny make sure your experIence is unique and special. Favorites are 2010 Bouchee D'or and 2017 Graciano.

We tasted and bought some incredible reds. Got to speak at length with the two owners and we were even introduced to the winemaker. Very warm and welcoming team. Thanks to Emily for a fun tasting and for making us feel so welcome!

Fantastic winery (thanks, Nikki). Wonderful wines--all of them. But the Petit Verdot is over-the-top, incredible.
