FLAGSHIP WINE TASTING
An Intimate Exploration of Rhône-Inspired Wines
Join us for a private tasting in our rustic-modern tasting room, tucked into the western hills of Paso Robles.
It’s a relaxed, intimate introduction to our Rhône-style wines, with a lineup that changes with the seasons and vintages. Our wines are made with grapes grown on the Regenerative Organic® and biodynamically farmed slopes right outside our doors, along with fruit from a handful of organic and Biodynamic® vineyards across California’s Central Coast.
Each tasting is a chance to slow down, taste through the wines, and get to know a little more about the place, people, and farming behind what’s in your glass.
$40 per guest | complimentary for members
A HIGHER PLACE WINE TASTING EXPERIENCE
An Immersive Journey Through Past, Present, and Future
Step into the heart of our Regenerative Organic® and Biodynamic® certified vineyard and get to know the land behind the wines.
Your visit begins with a guided tour of the Maha® Estate, where we’ll share a little about how we farm, why soil health and biodiversity matter to us, and what makes our limestone-rich corner of west Paso Robles so special. From there, we’ll head to the top of the estate for a seated tasting of current vintage Maha® wines, with sweeping views of the hills and vineyards around you.
Then it’s down to the cellar for a barrel tasting and a peek at what’s still taking shape. We’ll finish in the tasting room with a selection from our library, giving you a chance to taste how Maha® wines evolve with time.
It’s a chance to taste the wines in the place they come from, while getting a behind-the-scenes look at the land, farming, and people that bring them to life.
This all-encompassing experience is available by appointment at 10:00 AM on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
Maximum of 4 guests per reservation (including non-tasters).
$150 per guest | $100 for members
Reservations required at least 5 days in advance.
WINE TASTING FROM THE VAULT
A Rare Look Into the Past and Present of Villa Creek Wines
Take a trip through the Villa Creek cellar with a tasting of current releases alongside a selection of library wines.
Older vintages have a way of telling their own story, and The Vault is a chance to taste that evolution firsthand. See how the wines have changed, what they’ve held onto, and why we’re happy to let some bottles spend a little extra time in the cellar.
Guests often ask how long our wines can age. The Vault is our favorite way to answer that question: in a glass.
Some library wines may be available to take home in very limited quantities. Others are bottles we’ve held onto specifically to share with you, making each Vault tasting a little different.
$90 per guest | $50 for members
Reservations required at least 3 days in advance.
PICNIC TABLE RESERVATION
Enhance Your Visit with a Post-Tasting Picnic
To fully immerse yourself in the tasting experience and allow the wines to speak for themselves, we kindly ask that food not be consumed during your tasting. This allows our team to guide you through the wines without distraction, preserving the integrity and intention behind each pour.
If you’d like to extend your stay and enjoy a leisurely picnic among the vines, we invite you to reserve one of our picnic tables following your tasting. Tables are available by reservation between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM and are reserved for one hour of relaxed enjoyment.
Please note: a tasting reservation is required to book a picnic table.
We’d be delighted to help you plan a perfect day at the MAHA®. Please email us via the button below to reserve your picnic table.
CONSIDERATIONS
HOURS. Monday - Wednesday: 11am to 3 pm (last appointment at 2 pm), Thursday - Sunday: 10 am to 4 pm (last appointment at 3 pm)
RESERVATIONS. Wine tasting reservations can be made online for parties of one to six guests. Have a larger group? We'd love to host you! Just send us an email at wine@villacreek.com. We’re best equipped to accommodate bigger parties before noon.
SAME DAY RESERVATIONS. Planning a spontaneous visit? Give us a call at 805.712.8038 and we’ll do our best to fit you in.
KIDS. Bringing the whole crew? We’d love a quick heads-up in the optional comment section when you make your reservation so we can have a seat ready for them.
Camille and Henri Cherry grew up running feral around this property, so we know firsthand how fun it is to explore a working farm! We just ask that kiddos stay supervised and within designated areas during your visit. With farm equipment, uneven ground, rattlesnakes, and other wildlife sharing the property, a watchful eye is important. Thanks for helping us keep everyone safe while enjoying a little farm time!
DOGS. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome to join you during your visit. Please limit your group to no more than two dogs. For the safety of your four-legged friends, please be mindful that we are a working farm with chickens, sheep, and wildlife, including rattlesnakes.
Our two livestock guardian dogs are very protective and, while friendly with humans, do not respond well to unfamiliar dogs approaching their sheep. We also have several cellar pups who may greet you in the parking lot or stop by to say hello during your tasting. Please note that our resident dogs are not leashed, and we ask that you plan accordingly.
FOOD/PICNICS. While we ask that you hold off on consuming food during your wine tasting, we invite you to enjoy a bottle and BYO (bring your own) picnic afterward. Picnic tables are available by reservation between 11 AM and 2 PM, and a tasting reservation is required to book.
TASTING TIME FRAME. Your wine tasting should take 45 minutes to one hour, check out included. We would be happy to help you map out your day. Curvy mountain roads take longer to travel than you might think.
RUNNING LATE? No worries—just give us a quick call at 805.712.8038 so we can adjust if possible. Same-day reschedules are subject to availability.
ATTIRE. Paso Robles is known for its dramatic diurnal temperature swings—warm days and cool evenings are part of the charm. We recommend bringing layers to ensure your comfort throughout your visit. Indoor seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
We look forward to welcoming you and sharing our wines with you soon.
Additional FAQ
Maha® on the Road
Let’s Bring Maha® to You
Some of our favorite relationships have started around a dinner table, with a bottle of Maha® or Villa Creek open and plenty of stories being shared. That’s the kind of evening we’d love to create with you.
We’re always happy to share our wines, but even more so the stories, people, and place behind them. Whether you’ve been drinking with us for years or are just getting to know Maha® and Villa Creek, we’d love to bring the experience to your neck of the woods.
We can work with you to create a private dinner or intimate tasting for a small group of friends, family, or fellow wine lovers. You bring the people and the table; we’ll bring the wine, stories, and a little piece of the Maha® Estate.
An Evening Among Friends
These gatherings are meant to feel more like dinner with friends than a formal wine tasting. We’ll bring a thoughtful lineup of Maha® and Villa Creek wines and spend the evening tasting, talking, and sharing the stories behind what’s in the glass.
Keep it relaxed. Keep it curious. Eat something good. Open some bottles. Ask questions. We’re there to connect, not give a lecture.
A Little Something to Take Home
The goal is simple: good wine, good people, and a memorable evening. We’ll be sharing wines that we’re genuinely excited about, and if you find a bottle (or a few) that you’d like to bring home, we’ll make that easy, too.
There’s no hard sell and no awkward sales pitch. We just ask that guests come knowing that purchasing wine is part of the experience. Those bottles heading home with new friends help make it possible for us to keep bringing these gatherings to tables beyond the Maha®.
Want to Bring Us to Your Table?
If this sounds like something you’d like to host, we’d love to hear from you. Tell us a little about your group, where you’re located, and what you have in mind. We’ll take it from there and figure out how to make it a night worth gathering for.
