Jacob Toft

“We absolutely loved our time here! Associate Winemaker Jack was extremely knowledgeable. He shared stories about his experiences working the vineyards & processing the grapes into delicious wines, learning so much from Jacob Toft, The Owner, & Master Winemaker. Jacob Toft is a petite winery, in Tin City, which makes about 2,000 cases of wine, per year. The bright & cheery ocean-themed paintings, on the walls, as well as the artwork on all the wine bottle labels, are all done by Jacob Toft's wife. We tasted 4 wines in a relaxed atmosphere here, & enjoyed all four. Maggie's 2021 Cuvee was our favorite, & we snatched up a bottle of it. My partner & I, as well as our good friends, enjoyed tasting their wines, plus we learned so much, about the intricacies of winemaking. Our group loved how personable the host was. Next time we're in Paso, we'll definitely swing by Jacob Toft.”

“We had the pleasure of tasting Jacob Toft wines last weekend and Jacob was there to answer all of our questions. His wife Kelly is a delight. The wines are beautiful balanced blends that are unique and delicious. Often fruit forward with spicy notes, purple fruits, a silky mouth feel and a smooth finish. The tannin management is perfect. Treat your family and your friends to Jacob Toft wines and if you can get on their wine list club - do it!!”

“Loved the wines, but can no longer recommend Jacob Toft due to their poor business practices. Do NOT join their wine club as you may not receive your order. I was billed in August for our Fall 2025 club allotment. The order was supposed to ship in October, but due to weather issues, the shipment date was moved back to early/mid November. I didn’t receive another update until mid January with profuse apologies and a promise to get my order shipped out immediately. That is the last communication I have received despite weekly follow ups. I don’t know if they didn’t produce enough to cover both the wine club allotments and their tasting room, if there was a mix up with inventory, or if they are struggling financially. We are all human, and things happen. I would have been willing to make adjustments to my order or even pass on my allotment if they were honest about there being an issue. But taking your customers’ money and then ghosting them for 6 months is unacceptable. I will also say that it is in incredibly poor taste to send out your marketing email for your spring 2026 release when you haven’t fulfilled all of the outstanding fall 2025 orders. It’s an absolute shame.”

“Here's a heads up to anyone thinking of becoming Jacob Toft wine club members. You may or may not receive the wine they charge you for, and when you reach out to them they will ghost you. We sent an email today to cancel our membership after being wine club members since 2019. That's over 6 years or membership, so this is not a decision we are taking lightly. However, we were charged $445 back in August of last year for our fall shipment. We were told it would be shipped the end of October. November 30th I sent an email asking where it was and was told they got busy but would ship out December 1st. The wine never came. I emailed again December 11th, 19th and 27th, all with zero response. I called and left a voicemail January 8th, and still no response. We have finally been forced to call our credit card to dispute the charges. We would have much rather received our wine or even just some form of communication letting us know when it would actually be shipped out, but no response to 3 emails and a phone call over more than a month is incredibly unprofessional. When you spend close to $1000 a year in wine you expect to at least be treated fairly.”

“Loved the wines, the bottle art, the tasting experience and the people. Hate our recent wine club experience. We have been wine club members for a lot of years and we’re excited to discover when we moved to Tennessee over 3 years ago that Jacob Toft shipped to TN. We still visit the tasting room once a year when we visit family and friends in the area. We are still members of several wineries, know other wine makers and love and are huge advocates for Paso Robles wines. This year we were billed in August for our Fall club allotment which was supposed to ship in October, but shipment date was moved back to early November because of weather delays. As we got to later in November and no shipment had been received we started to try to contact the winery. Several times no one answered the phone so we left messages but received no return calls. We tried emailing - no answers. On two occasions I was able to talk to employees - one of which who said they were instructed to put concerns like ours on Kelly’s desk. The employee promised to do that. The second employee also said they would pass our concern along. In late December we still had no replies as to what happened to our shipment. We then contacted our credit card company who suspended our payment. We still have not had any response from Jacob, Kelly or anyone from the winery. So we are left guessing what might have happened and have concluded that they must not have produced enough wine to fill Wine Club orders and meet their tasting rooms needs. So instead of contacting us, they ignored us. Had they done so we would have been reasonable with either accepting other none Fall Release wines or just forgoing the shipment for this season. What is not acceptable is to sit on our money for four months with no shipment, no contact or response to our queries. This is unprofessional, unscrupulous and downright rude behavior on their part. I guess when you have a Wine Club waiting list you feel you can get away with treating people this way. We must not be the only ones with this experience. This may be a harbinger of things to come from this winery.”
