Oso Libre Winery

“Oso Libre is one of our favorite Wineries for many reasons ! Love the seating overlooking a beautiful pasture and green hills, Service is fantastic and we always get to chat with the Winemaker Michael. Oh don’t let me forget the Wines...oh the Wines! One last shout out - check out their Farm raised Angus beef !”

“A wonderful sustainable winery. We had the tastings with the tour and it was excellent. Not only did we get a charcuterie board to have with great wines. We had a tour of the property with the wine maker. You can tell that this is a labor of love.”

“Excellent location, 5 tastings all Excellent wines! Our server very educated in all varietals we tasted. Bought 2 excellent bottles of Bordeaux. Will definitely go back, make a reservation!”

“Oso Libre stood out over all of the wineries we visited during our recent trip to the Paso Robles region. Consistently memorable offerings down the tasting sheet punctuated the day. Looking forward to coming back out for one of the quarterly (?) barbecue parties featuring local meat and their wine! Update: Visited again, enjoyed a tasting, and left with another bottle. Oso Libre continues to impress! Thanks for letting us taste the Solera!”

“I was a loyal Oso Libre member for more than five years. That ended after my most recent visit. I brought seven family members to the winery, excited to introduce them to wines I'd enjoyed as a member. When we arrived, I learned that groups of seven or more get charged an extra $10 per person—a $70 fee that essentially wiped out my complimentary member tastings. Six people? No charge. Seven? That'll be $70. What?! For literally ZERO increase in service or experience. They're walking around a table, pouring a thimble of wine in a glass...that one extra person apparently necessitates a $70 fee. Here's the kicker: we were the only people in the tasting room for the entire two hours we were there. No crowd to manage, no strain on resources. And our group bought nine bottles of wine. The "thank you" for bringing in new customers and making purchases was a surprise $70 surcharge. I emailed to cancel my membership, thinking someone might reach out to try to keep a five-year member. Instead, I got a polite apology and a cancellation confirmation—from the GM and Winemaker, no less. No offer to waive the fee, no credit, nothing. They let a long-time member walk over $70. I noticed another review complaining about this exact same policy. So it's not just me—and apparently that feedback hasn't prompted any change. That says a lot. In a region overflowing with great wineries that actually value their members, I can't recommend this one. Policies like this, combined with zero effort to retain loyal customers, tell you everything you need to know about how they view the people who support them.”
