Koehler Winery - Los Olivos, California

Best winery visit of our two-day trip to the Solvang area. Warm, friendly host. Delicious wines. Lovely venue and garden. Would highly recommend.

An absolutely beautiful facility! But extremely expensive and even more extreme light pours.... So that was disappointing. Went to buy a bottle and still was charged for the tasting, which was about the equivalent of a 6Oz glass. Wine was good. But overall it would be tough to recommend...

We visited today and while the grounds looked pleasant, unfortunately we were 'greeted' by the owners 2 overly friendly dogs charging at us and our dog We are trying to train our dog to be dog neutral so we can bring her with us wine tasting so super disappointing to visit a winery where the owner's dogs are off leash.

And although the owner tried to put them away (try is the key word as the dogs had poor recall) we just left without tasting a thing. We should not have to ask for any off leash dogs in this setting to stop harassing us to sit down calmly at a table. Ridiculous.

If we wanted to this we would bring a bottle in a brown bag to a local dog park. We went down the road to a professional winery that welcomed us and others with dogs without us being uncomfortable.

If you have dogs, only come here if you want a dog park like environment.

We had the best wine tasting experience ever. The place and vibe are just perfect for friends and family. One thing that is truly remarkable here is their service. I can feel the warmth and hospitality of the owner, who is truly kind. I would definitely come back and recommend this winery. Kudos!

Friends revealed this charming winery with delicious wines on a recent visit. Dan is a hoot, and knowledgeable about the wine. The grounds are gorgeous with a nice patio for tasting. While indoors was not currently in use, it's spacious and inviting.

Now for the wine. By far, my favorite was their 2017 Sangiovese. I also recommend their 2018 Sauvignon Blanc, 2016 Syrah, and 2017 Grenache. I have to mention especially their 2019 Rose of Grenache, which is the best Rose I have ever had. I gifted a few bottles to my sister. We ordered a mixed case and are still enjoying.

Enjoy Koehler wine, and drink in the beautiful views and the good company. Salud!

Going to wineries such as Koehler’s really makes you wonder why anyone goes to the tasting rooms in cities. The rolling hills of vineyards as you drive up set the mood and the professional yet amicable staff knock it out of the park with tastings of delicious wines. The cats on the roof, the emu at the neighboring fence, and picnic tables with beautiful, old trees providing shade, all serve to round out the very worthwhile experience

Loved this spot, went back last two times I've stayed up there and will continue to go back!
Summary:
Wine is good, we left with the bottles of the rose. Super chill vibe, good music playing beautiful natural grounds with plenty of places to sit and have a picnic. Hosts are welcoming and no nonsense.

This great family winery is both beautiful and a happy place to be. They have you sit anywhere you want and you come back up to the counter for your next tasting, or you can purchase a bottle. You can bring your own food and sit in a shady spot, there's lots of places to sit with a view of the vineyards.

Side note: check out the Emus in the corral at the bottom of the hill.
