Dunning Vineyards, a cherished family-owned winery, stands nestled in the secluded heights of Paso Robles' Westside. Since 1991, Winemakers Bob & Jo-Ann Dunning have passionately crafted limited-production, award-winning artisanal wines. Their vineyard, graced by Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Pinot Noir, gained an elevation of over 1400 feet. Lean, calcareous rock-infused soils create the perfect environment for low-yield vines. Paso Robles' warm days, cooled by the nearby Pacific, prolong the growing season, resulting in fruit of exceptional intensity and concentration. Sustainable practices and hands-on vineyard care ensure overall vine balance.
Nestled atop the vineyards, the Dunning Vineyards Guest Villa offers sweeping views of vineyards and coastal mountains, providing an idyllic wine country retreat.
Dunning Vineyards adheres to traditional winemaking, employing small lot fermentation, gentle handling of red "must," and barrel fermentation in French oak for whites. Winemaker Bob Dunning emphasizes, "Our focus is to produce wines that express the flavors of the vineyards, the terroir." These techniques yield wines of remarkable richness, concentration, and elegance.

Reviews
Bob is the owner and does the wine tastings as well. Super knowledgeable and nice. 10 out of 10 recommend stopping by. Was trying to book the lodging here but was already filled, a small intimate 2 person lodging. Very well balanced wines, and my favorite winery in the area.
Perfection in Paso Robles. Detail-oriented guest experience including a stellar patio, homemade breakfast quiche and coffee, local wine, and the makings of a blissful, centrally-located escape into wine country.
We enjoyed the solitude and quaintness of our stay! The Vineyards owner was so kind and the tasting was perfect. Loved the wines as much and often more than much more expensive wines. Our first time to sign up for a Club.
The winemaker kindly sold us some grapes so we could attempt to make our own wine. Then we stopped by the tasting room and sampled the petite Syrah and Grenache. Both were killer!
The wines here are amazing, and are at a great price point. I actually joined the wine club. The winery is run by a couple, wife in the tasting room, husband making the wine.
