5 reviews for Donati Family Vineyard
Great whites and reds--they are offered in two different tastings. The red is a $10 taste, and the whites are a $5 taste. We opted for the reds, and then they asked if we'd like to revisit any of the wines.
The atmosphere was laid back, and the ladies who worked there were funny. Hubby asked if we could taste some whites, and even though one ought not go from red to white, they weren't pretentious about it at all. We ended up getting a very reasonably priced bottle of pinot blanc and no tasting fee for the whites or reds.
There is a picnic area that is quiet and shaded. We'd definately go back again.
The tasting room and vineyard grounds are beautiful, but I have to say that I have definitely tasted better wine in this region!! We shared one flight for $5 and I'm glad, since nothing appealed to us at all. Oh well....everyone has their own preference, right?
At the suggestion of my hub's aunt and uncle, the two of us plus his brother and his brother's wife, trucked down the road to see what the fuss was about. (Uncle Chris and Aunt Dinah LOVE the staff here), and we were not disappointed. Great wines (esp. the whites, for what my opinion is worth) and the staff are charming, funny, and really good at getting you to want to buy their wines (not that we had to be sold to, but good salespeople are key). We took the tour of their facilities and the guide was equally fun and easily approachable - no pretense, just a lot of people enjoying a lot of good wines. The tour included a barrel tasting which was definitely a new experience for me (there's a reason why they let that stuff age a little!). All in all, I'll look forward to visiting Donati again the next time we're in Templeton.
Okay...what can I say. One of my cousin's is the winter factotum (I think thats fancy for grapestomper), the other is the sales manager...lucky me.
The wine is fabulous. It's all about the Reds....the Merlot is very good, and I'm usually not a huge fan. The Cab and Meritage are to die for. But in my opinion the best wine for the value is the Sorrell per Sempre (Sisters Forever) and easy drinking red blend.
Check this place out!! It's on 41 West on your way to Cambria just a few miles off of 101.
This is the new location and tasting room for Donati Family Vineyards. This was the third winery on our Paso Robles self guided winery tour. Finally, we found some wines we enjoyed!
The Pinot Blanc I especially enjoyed, well balanced, subtle, with a hint of effervescence. Really was refreshing on the 100+ degree day...
