This family-run winery is very personable, informative and informal--not snobby. It reminds me of the European vintners. Their Petite Syrah was excellent and Chardonnay was very good. We loved the fact that Wolff and the neighboring wineries promote each other, giving visitors their own take on what to look forward to at another winery. We look forward to coming back very soon!

Wine 5/5 Delicious, full-bodied yet easy drinking whites and reds. Smaller selection, but each one is just delightful.
Property/Views 4/5 Beautiful grounds, lovely drive out to the winery. A place where you would be happy to stay a while, inside or outside.
Owners/Workers 5/5 Owner poured our very gracious tastes, and he is a whirlwine of information, especially about their sustainable practices and the wine business in general. Taught us a lot about how to taste, and what to look for in wine.
Visit worthy? Absolutely!

About Winery and Wines
Wolff Vineyards Winery is located on 125 acres of ecologically friendly property just minutes from downtown San Luis Obispo, scenic beaches and major tourist attractions. The vineyard was planted 30 years ago by one of the Edna Valley's winegrowing pioneers, Andy MacGregor. World-class awards were earned by wineries that used MacGregor Vineyard Chardonnay grapes (such as Mount Eden). The new owners, Jean-Pierre and Elke Wolff, renamed the vineyard in 1999 when they expanded the vineyard and added their artisan winery. The vineyard includes 55 acres of Chardonnay and 37 acres of Pinot Noir grapes. Twelve additional acres are planted in Teroldego, Syrah, Petite Sirah and Riesling. The 30 years old Chardonnay blocks are dry farmed, giving the wine a site-specific "terroir" characteristic. The Pinot Noir blocks are planted on four Dijon clones. The vines are situated on steep slopes with maximum southern exposure. They are grafted on two different root stocks best suited to our specific soil conditions, sun and wind exposure. These clones are sometimes referred to as the new "sexy" clones, which have produced some outstanding Pinot Noir wines in California and Oregon. The Syrah blocks are planted on steep slopes with an ocean breeze cooling influence. the two Northern Rhone clones benefit from this cool climat by developing a thicker berry skin with good color, soft tannin and pepper notes extract. Our Petite Sirah is the first planted in the Edna Valley. This unusual cool climat Petite Sirah has quickly gained national review and recognition, as well as popularity with our customers. Our grapes are sold to Ultra-Premium wineries who enjoy wide acclaim for their wines. "Our own very-limited production is hand-crafted using traditional Burgundian wine-making methods. French new oak, barrel fermentation, sur lie and batonnage are a few of the techniques applied to our wines," according to Jean-Pierre Wolff, winemaker.
