J. Lohr Vineyard & Winery — Blog

Cheers to an exclusive journey for wine lovers! Last month I had the pleasure of visiting J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines in Paso Robles, CA. I love wine tasting in the beautiful, majestic golden hills of Paso Robles, and my husband and I were very excited to visit J. Lohr for the very first time. We greatly enjoyed the knowledge we gained about the brand as well as getting to taste unique wines sold exclusively at the winery that we had never had before. J. Lohr has been producing award-winning wines along the Central Coast since the 1970s. The winery sits in a picturesque location, featuring a charming tasting room and sprawling vineyards as far as the eye can see. They have a second location in downtown San Jose, with both tasting rooms open seven days a week offering a variety of experiences to suit any palate. Make the most of your visit by exploring the rich history of the family-owned winery and sampling their award-winning wines. Come to taste seasonal selections and winery-exclusive wines in their newly remodeled Paso Robles tasting room or outside on the scenic veranda, perfect for bringing your furry friends. With multiple limited-release wines to sample as you take in the breathtaking estate views, this is the perfect spot to spend an afternoon in Paso Robles. Plus, their knowledgeable staff can help you find the perfect selection for your taste while they educate you on the winemaking process and share insights into the different varietals you’re tasting.

Lohr Vineyards & Wines. The J. Lohr San Jose wine center is a must-visit for wine connoisseurs looking to sample a wide variety of wines, from light whites to full-bodied reds.With wines from six distinct tiers, each wine comes with its own story and focus.
