One of my favorite wineries in Paso for the great wines and excellent staff. We visited with our extremely shy dog and a 5 month old baby, and both were welcomed so warmly outside the entrance (dogs can go into the tasting room). The barrel tasting comparing different types of oak was very fun. We enjoyed our visit very much and would recommend this winery especially to those wine tasting with their furbabies.

We recommend Ecluse to people visiting Paso Robles Wine Country. It is the only winery that offers barrel tasting and insight into understanding the role and importance of selecting the right barrels. We tasted the distinct difference imparted by the French oak barrel versus the Hungarian oak barrel. Awesome education. Wonderful wine. We purchased 2 cases.

Very good wine, across the board!! Delicious to drink now but structured to last a reasonable time as well. Maddie was awesome and the wine thief was very generous with a barrel tasting. Have tasted at most all of the hot names in Paso, Ecluse was most enjoyable and relaxed.

About Winery and Wines

As home to a San Francisco Chronicle’s Sweepstakes winning Best Red Wine, we at Écluse are dedicated to producing limited production, handcrafted, award-winning wines from our very own Lock Vineyard. Our family owned boutique winery is a true reflection of this special place we call home. Nestled in the gently rolling hillside terroir on the desired Westside of the Paso Robles AVA, we feature Bordeaux and Rhone style wines, as well as our fabulous Zinfandel. Our wines are often described as silky, lush, smooth and approachable when first released, becoming even more complex and elegant as they age. From the beginning our philosophy is that great fruit makes great wine. Having our own small winery onsite gives us the added benefit of picking and crushing small lots throughout the vineyard when the fruit has reached its peak flavors. Having control from the vineyard to the bottle insures that Écluse wines remain the truly remarkable wine that it is today! Located only five minutes west of downtown Paso Robles, we invite you to discover the expression of our estate-grown wines while you savor the Ecluse difference. Join us and experience wine tasting the old fashion way, in the barrel room where you may even find Steve, proprietor and winemaker, with the wine thief offering barrel samples!
