Enjoyed this winery! No high pressure, delightful wines. Worth the trip! We enjoyed these wines very much. Now owned by Fiji water, so that was a bit of a surprise. Wish we could of taken a tour, but time did not permit. Worth the visit.

Justin is a world class vineyard, fitting they would have a great restaurant, too boot. Although, they had to alter their dining experience for us (I use a wheelchair), they were friendly and kind to do so. We had a delicious meal in their tasting area thst would be difficult to beat.

This was a beautiful drive to get to the winery. We went on a quiet Sunday afternoon and had a very informative tasting with our server. The wines were good, but too many of them need to be aged. We tend to drink our wines sooner than later! Well worth the visit though. They have a good Cabernet Sauvignon that... More

We we a bit turned off to Justin the first time we visited a year ago, but our second visit proved more successful -- to such a degree that we came home with a case of sauvignon blanc. Justin is on every bachelorette parties' list of stops, but our pourer quickly guided us to an available table. He was knowledgeable... More

Just go. It's at the end of the world, but worth the trip. Good wines, ESP their cabs and my favorite, "Justification". Best yet is their intimate restaurant (advance reservations are a must). Exceptional service, great food and wine pairings. They are refurbishing it so its closed until May, but GO when it opens!

The tasting room was one of the nicest and their cellar allows for some great picture-taking. The wines are a bit pricey and the staff lacked some knowledge - I think because they were so busy and they had many people working. Overall, it was a good experience and I'm glad I went once... just not sure if I would... More

This is a destination winery for people who take wine seriously, perhaps too seriously. Our pourer talked down to us. She was knowledgable but too formal for our crowd. The wines were first rate.

My wife and I love Bordeaux wines, which is why we prefer to taste in Paso vs Santa Barbara County area (not much Bordeaux to be found there). We also love Cab Franc, and this year they were out at tasting room so we were a little disappointed. The facility is nice. The non-member tasting room was unconstruction this year,... More

Great red wines. We really enjoy Bordeaux-style reds and Justin delivered on some very flavorful wine! The blends were really good and the prices were very reasonable. We went here as our first stop on our first day of tasting and then again as our last stop on our second day of tasting. It seems they are doing some construction... More

My family and I were all a bit disappointed with both the selection of wines being served, as well as the complete lack of attention and service from the staff. The rote descriptions of what we were trying felt forced and rushed, and the newness of the wines felt cheap. I wouldn't recommend this place, though the wines I've had... More
