Tobin James winery was so awesome that we returned to it again at the end of our trip! Excellent variety of wines to choose from. I highly recommend the Muscat if you like white/dessert wines. We've traveled to quite a few wineries in Paso Robles. TJ's is definitely a great one to visit if you like a more relaxed winery... more

Driving in to Paso Robles along the 46, this is the first wine tasting building you see. Right away, you know it's not a boring, stuffy wine tasting experience like you might expect. The only other time I have been wine tasting was more than 20 years ago, when a bunch of us rented a limo and popped around Napa... more

There's a reason why Tobey has the most popular wine club in the world. Everyone wants to be a part of the fun at Tobin James. The events are incredible, and whenever I have visitors from out of town, if I take them to just one winery, I take them to Tobin. A perfect blend of fun atmosphere, great people,... more

The tasting room is casual and fun with a laid back western feeling. What I really love though is the wine club... yes I am part of the "James Gang." You only get a few shipments a year, but each one is BIG (8 bottles typically) and the cost is remarkably low considering the quality of the wine. In addition,... more

Well worth checking out... Friendly, helpful staff. Good Wines... especially Reserves and "Blue Moons"! Western-style tasting room. Go mid-week or early in your wine touring day to avoid crowds! more

Tobin James Cellars is the best winery in Paso. The atmosphere is not stuffy at all but fun and inviting. ANother reviewer said it is like a neighborhood bar and it is. There is a huge selection of wine to choose from and all tastings are free. The people who pour are so friendly and always willing to chat or... more

My husband and I passed through Tobin James Cellars winery on our tour of the Paso Robles wine country....we found the tasting room over-run by tourist tour companies....a loud, saloon-like atmosphere overwhelmed the tasting floor....we enjoyed the wine, but not the company. I can see how the location and wine selection would have been more enjoyable with different company overall.... more

I almost hate to write a good review because that means that more people will show up and it will be even MORE crowded. First, the wines. They range from okay (the Merlot) to Excellent (everything else). I have several bottles of the various zins and they are all sinfully wonderful. And then there's the parties! If you're a member... more
