Kaleidos

best wine tasting experience ever. the wine attendant was hilarious and we laughed the entire time. also, it doesn’t get better than this if you love wine and cupcakes! YUM!

Such a great hidden gem just off the main road. Had a great tasting with Taryn, very friendly and knowledgeable. She guided us through the wines and had some great recommendations for places to check out on our visit. The wines were very enjoyable and the care put into them really shows. Was a great change of pace, it is a small tasting room with a nice outdoor space. Nothing fancy or overdone like so many other Paso wineries. Was very relaxing.

Awesome and sublime wines! Lovely Rhone style white, Beautiful red’s… And did I mention the cupcakes? Fantastic! The team of wine makers, both Changala and Kaleidos, combined with the warmth of their smiles, is outstanding! Truly, though, some of the most delicious reds we’ve tasted to date… and at 58 (honestly speaking for myself, of course), that’s a lot of RED! If you make one stop…& you require superbly made wine, this is the tasting room to make your destination! No kidding. Unpretentious and unassuming from the outside, you will be terrifically pleased you made the stop. So glad we did! Seriously, two terrific wineries in one stop… who could ask for more!

What made this place for us was the server, she was a blast! Our palates weren’t as discerning after a day of wine tasting, but I had heard great things about this place and was anxious to check it out! I am so glad we did, it was the funnest stop we made!

Great little winery that is a hidden gem! Can’t wait to come back and relax without the kiddos.

This was the first stop of our «off the beaten path, no plan» wine tasting adventure. We started tasting two days prior, hitting the usual suspects to pick up our shipments. Today, we decided to drive down Vineyard and stop at the vineries that called to us. Kaleidos and Changala grabbed our attention, and we’re thrilled they did.
–We were well taken care of by Taryn. She was hilarious and took us through the tasting menu and then some. It was like we were hanging out with an old friend.
–The wine– all of their reds were really good! I likes the Praying Mantis and the Syrah/​Syrah Reserve. They were deep and red, full bodied, and full of flavor yet light enough to enjoy a couple glasses without being too much. These would pair well with a beefy dinner!
–The property: tucked back in the hills down about a quarter mile stretch of dirt road is the building that houses both Changala and Kaleidos. There are two grassy lawns in a sort of terraced arrangement. Up top, a few tables and chairs under the shade of the trees. Down below under some more shade, more tables and a couple cornhole boards. Other than that, peaceful seclusion. I could see treking up here for a bottle of wine after a long day!

Awesome wines. A little pricey. The tasting room isn’t special but we very much enjoyed chatting with the pourer. Definitely worth the visit if you enjoy Paso syrahs. Ask if they’re pouring the praying mantis yet.

Liked the girl who helped me here. She was super friendly. Their wines are soo good too. They are a part of the wine tasting passport so look it up!

This was our first time at a winery and Taryn at Kaleidos was awesome and made us feel comfortable for it being a new experience for us. Very knowledgeable about the wine and all were very good.
Great deal with the purchase of the «passport». Definitely will be a stop next time back on the coast

cute out the way place shared with the Changala. We would have never found it but was on the Passport and glad we did. I bought a bottle of 2007 Starr Syrah

This winery shares a space with Changala winery for the tasting room. This winery specializes in making very good Syrahs. Syrahs that are very peppery, tannic, suck the moisture out of your mouth, goes good with roasted leg of lamb, with mint chutney, rolled inside some warm soft naan. Am I being silly? Probably a little. But this wine is an experience. The one I love the most was the 2007 Morpheus. Most of the wines had very strong tannins, robust taste, were already a little aged, but have the body to be aged longer if you desire, but great to drink now too.

We ended up going to Kaleidos thanks to the «Passport» (Central Coast Passport… check it out if you don’t know about it already!)
It ended up being the last stop on our long route on Saturday of many many wineries, so by the time we got to Kaleidos we thought we were completely wined out and our palates were finished! But alas, we encountered the Syrah Reserve — and that woke our tired taste buds right back up, as if we had just gotten started again!
In fact, they were actually sold out already of the Reserve wine, but the very sweet and super friendly Chrissy recommended their non-​Reserve Syrah to take home (without even trying it first) which she promised would be just as enjoyable. And sure enough, we popped that baby open tonight, and it brought us right back to Paso Robles, and that sweet friendly little wine room.
Great wines, even better experience (which is half of the pleasure alone!) Very grateful to the Central Coast Passport for leading us to Kaleidos wines!
The ONLY reason for not giving a full-​on five star was simply because we were too pooped to really be able to enjoy thoroughly each and every wine we tasted, so just leaves room for us to go back and try them all again! The fact though that they were also sold out of so many just shows how popular they have in fact been in their sales!

Handcrafted Rhone varietals in a small boutique winery that has the best Syrah in Paso. The attendant is friendly and knowledgeable. Go during wine and cupcake pairing (sounds odd but its phenomenal) first weekend of every month.

Bought a bottle of Morpheus 2005 at Albertsons. Absolutely loved it. Called Alberstons and they were out.

We tasted Kaleidos outside behind the Thacher tasting room. Being that it was a festival weekend, many of the wineries were hosting others on the property to help bring exposure to those who don’t have their own tasting rooms. it was nice to experience new wineries like this.
Kaleidos is a very small winery with no tasting room, but does have a wine club. They were tasting several wines that day. We ended up walking away with Morpheus and Oakrock. The wines are reasonably priced.
