It's a 2 to 2.5 hour drive to Santa Barbara from Calcareous Vineyard. It's common to make a daytrip between Paso Robles and Santa Barbara, and is recommended that you give yourself the full day to do it. The drive is scenic, and both destinations are worthy of exploration.

Good question! The tasting fees only apply to those who will actually be tasting the wines. There is a selection of non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase, along with a full seasonal menu of artisan lunch items. Tasting fees, the latest menu, and answers to other FAQs are available on our website.

Probably. I didn’t make a stop here but was able to catch one to Niner, from Niner to Halter, and fortunately from Halter. Almost got stranded there but it’s out there, not as far as this place so you will prob be ok.

Yes! We are a family-friendly winery. We do ask that parents closely supervise their children in order to enhance the experience of other guests. Please include children in your guest count when making a reservation, as this will determine the size of your table. This policy may vary for special events. Please note that there is no longer a picnic area on the property, and Calcareous is not licensed to allow outside food, picnics, or outside alcoholic beverages on the property.

Tasting fees are $30 each. These fees are waived with the purchase of 3 bottles, or if you choose to join the wine club. Club members taste for free.

Reservations are definitely recommended for wine tasting and/or lunch. We are currently booking up 1-2 weeks in advance, most quickly on Saturdays and holiday weekends. You may add your name to the waiting list through our reservation system. For same-day reservations, please call (805) 239-0289 to inquire about availability. Since the start of Covid, reservations have been required at most Paso Robles wineries, so we recommend you plan out your itinerary in advance to avoid being turned away and to ensure that you're able to have a relaxing day in wine country.
