Located at the Hotel Californian, the new J. Wilkes tasting room is a welcoming place to sip the label’s acclaimed wines while enjoying a fresh experience that complements the youthful spirit of the neighborhood. The modern-meets-industrial interior design creates a chic, relaxed vibe - perfect for mingling and hanging out - with a bar, a lounge area with fireplace, board games and great music. 

A massive mural of J. Wilkes’s French Camp Vineyard in the Paso Robles Highlands spans an entire wall, providing tasters with a sense of where some of the grapes are grown. 

J. Wilkes offers high-quality Central Coast wines made by industry-leading winemaker Wes Hagan, including pinot blanc, chardonnay, viognier, pinot noir, zinfandel, lagrein, Kent’s red blend, and two cabernet sauvignons, including one that is bourbon-barrel aged. To elevate the tasting experience, cheese and charcuterie boards using quality local ingredients are available for purchase. Visitors can also savor food and wine on the outdoor patio while taking in the vibrant sights and sounds of State Street.
