More Paso Robles Wineries with Children

Welcome to the Justin Winery:

The grounds are as beautiful as the wine.

Grapes!

Husband and I belong to the Justin Wine Society, which offers patrons access to a wine tasting building where we can also peruse the cellar. Here’s me, in Happy Happy Land:

Coincidentally, I am wearing the same T-shirt I wore just a few weeks ago in a different post. It says Rogue, as in Rogue beer (holla holla Tricia and Pete), which essentially means I wore a beer shirt to a winery. I was also the designated driver, so I wasn’t drinking at all, which means I was the rogue non-drinker amongst a herd of winos. I couldn’t have planned it better if I’d tried.

We went from Justin over to Pipestone Vineyards:

This was one of the places recommended to us by Jennifer at Tolo Cellars as being family friendly. We knew she hadn’t led us astray when we spotted a sign that said Family Farm. They had chickens and a goat and dogs lounging about, and plenty of yard area for running amok. In addition to being laid back and family friendly, Pipestone is environmentally friendly as well. Co-owner Jeff Pipes was manning the tasting bar and we learned the vineyard is organic and 100 percent solar powered. With a tasty Grenache to boot. Great place that I’ll definitely return to, if at all else because The Boy really liked the self-guided vineyard tour:

  • That looks great! Nice photos. I love wine (and wineries). Funny about the beer shirt thought. Must have been a much different experience without the drinking.

  • These are gorgeous. We visited Napa Valley not too long ago and had lots of fun.
