Pianetta Winery and Vineyard is located 15 miles north of Paso Robles, tucked into the hills of Indian Valley, where the vines enjoy daily sunshine and easy afternoon breezes. Planted in 1997 by John Pianetta, our estate was originally home to 65 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah vines. Now home to Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, and Petite Verdot.
Our estate fruit is hand-harvested from terraced slopes to ensure quality in the field and on the crush pad. All Pianetta wines are well-balanced with a solid fruit base, aged in dominant tight grained oak barrels, and focus on the best fruit the vineyards produce. Our daily operations are managed by a professional staff driven by a deep passion for wine.

We found this cute spot off of Yelp! Right when we walked in the server immediately came up to us to help us find a spot to stand/sit. She was very sweet and I'm sure she deals with tourist people all the time. Pianetta was not offering tastings when we went (a Saturday at 5pm) but their red wine by the glass was still delicious. They even had a live band which was a perfect way to end our stay in Paso Robles!

Pianetta was our first stop during our mini trip to Paso Robles 2 months ago. I loved (my daughter too as you can see in the photo) the cheese paring with the wine tasting. Unlike Los Angeles where I am from, some in-door places are open in Paso Robles but with great care for safety measures. It was a 100 degrees out so it was definitely nice to be able to enjoy the tasting indoors. I absolutely loved their selection of wine. I took home 4 bottles and already opened two.

Great little gem in downtown Paso Robles! Came here on a whim after walking around downtown and so happy I did! The wines were all amazing (the sangiovese is one of the best wine's I've ever had), and I loved the story behind the winery and the work they do with local veterans. Bonnie, who helped us, was awesome! She was a great host, knew a lot about the wine, and gave us some great pointers about the area! I would absolutely come back here.

Nice little tasting room downtown Paso.
The hostess was nice but we did not think much of their wines (something that makes this world around as everyone has a different taste) and thought the price point was pretty high, especially for Paso.
It was a nice surprise to try their Sangiovese, probably our only favorite here.
Give them a try!

First off, I love this place because it's all red wines AND the owner is a retired pilot. Being that I am also a pilot, I have to support this amazing spot! Love this tasting room, it's has a nice vibrate atmosphere with a decent amount of seating. The ladies were nice and I was able to meet the owners daughter for a quick second, as she seems to be the one running the tasting room. My favorites are definitely the Cab and the Tuscan Nights. We weren't there on a night they had an event but be sure to check out their weekly events if you're around then. And what's even better

Hands down my FAVORITE downtown Paso Tasting Room. This weekend my daughter and I were in town for the Paso Wine Festival and I popped into Pianetta while waiting for our dinner reservations across the street to see if they had their Barbara in stock. They did and I bought 2 bottles and a Jug of their Rose. Brought my daughter back after dinner so she could taste what I'd bought and she too thought it was delicious. So delicious that we came back the next day and literally sat there for over an hour chatting with Caitlin and tasting more of their wines. We walked out with 3 more bottles

Pianetta is a small winery with a downtown tasting room. They grow some of their grapes and purchase others. They offer some unusual varietals including Barbera, Petite Sirah, and Sangiovese. They also have a fun jug wine. We had a nice time tasting, visiting with a club member and chatting with the server who was knowledgeable and friendly.

A bit of a disappointment when it comes to my expectation of wines. I found them a little more acidic then I would have liked to see them but still not the worst I've had before.
Aside from that the winery has pretty decent selection and wines their Petite Sirah is nicely balanced but a little on the acidic side for my taste. The hours and location in the middle of Paso Robles also don't hurt, so the tasting room management seems to be very well done.

I've lived on the central coast for years. This is absolutely the finest wine you'll find not just here but just about anywhere. John and his daufhter Caitlin Panetta are the kindest most well spoken vintners around. The tasting room run by Kelly and her staff always make you feel at home and Caitlin is often there with her effervescent personality. Having a flight with them is like having a flight with good friends. I can't speak highly enough of them well, except to say join their club. The pick up parties consist of a room full of others who feel as I do. it's like

My friends and I stopped here to taste some wine on our way back home. I liked that this place was low-key, and the service was good. I also enjoyed the flight of cheese they offered to pair with the wine. The only thing that would have improved this winery would be more of a variety of wines, however, they do offer some very tasty wines. I particularly enjoyed the 2014 Grenache and the 2014 Tuscan Nights.

Okay, it's 2017 and the wine is still very fine. If you did not take the time to visit in 2016, stop what you are doing and put this place on your 2017 to do bucket list; you will not be disappointed. It's dog friendly, so bring the doggies and create some beautiful memories with that someone you call "My Love".

This is a tasting room in Paso proper but they do have their own vineyards a ways away.
I came here due to Yelp reviews. The girl there was friendly and attentive. The wines just didn't impress me very much.
The Sangiovese had very mellow tannins for a Sangiovese so I grabbed a bottle of that.
I guess you just have to like their style of wine. I just didn't.
