Lago Giuseppe Winery - Templeton, California

The event site and the staff are absolutely the best you could ask for. My wife and I got married here in October of 2012 and it was a picture perfect wedding. Not only is the location stunning and the weather perfect, but the staff is amazing. Joe and Jeanine are the nicest people and make sure that your every need is met. The catering staff works very efficiently and makes sure everyone is well taken care of while not getting in the way. Morgan the chef is great and puts together an incredible menu for you. Their wine is also excellent and our guests loved it.

If you are looking for a great outdoor site in Central Coast wine country to hold a wedding or other event you can't beat Lago Giuseppe.

Now that they have the winery open to the public it is a must visit for wine tasting on the west side of Paso Robles. They have a lot of great Italian style wines to taste in a beautiful setting.

Lovely place, wonderful family! Paso has a ton of great wineries and we’re so happy we ran across this one. All the wines we sampled were quite nice and the Tre Donne is something special. We’re enjoying a bottle now, remembering our visit and looking forward to the next one.

Joe and I stayed in the gatehouse cottage, and it was lovely! Beautiful and peaceful place to spend a few days. Our hosts Joe and Jeanine were engaging. Their wines are fantastic!

GetAway, enjoying the drive and have some wine at a very special place!!!!
On our way to Moro Bay we drove down Green Valley Rd. One wonderful drive (coming from a German: driving stick, with so many curves). Now you might see this Italian Flag pointing to some winery. From outside, nothing spectacular - just like a raw diamond. Plenty of parking space. A touch of Toscana. Very kind people took the order, red wine my fav, a little pizza to add more Italian flavor.
So now sitting at the wonderful convenient bench, with the Italian wine in one hand, sweetheart in my arm, looking at the pond ("lago" is Italian for Lake - I am not complaining, just saying), perfect sun - perfect moment - life is good.
Part of German culture is to complain - since I am still German, I seriously tried to complain, but couldn't find anything.
As a matter of fact - we were very happy.

Always special moments here with the family that owns the winery. The passion for their craft really shows, and they are always so welcoming.

Super cute quaint winery with lovely seating area looking out at a pond. We were here on a lovely spring weather day. I had a glass of rosé that I didn't love but the winery was still lovely.

Second visit , a lunch of Spring Salad and Italian Sausage Calzone was fantastic. The wines were as remembered. The host is the most knowledgeable and informative of any of the Craftsman of his Italian heritage Vino.

Lago Giuseppe has long be a wedding venue. Recently the tasting room was open. The winery is family owned. Our server was a member of the family and we enjoyed the time chatting with her. Lago Giuseppe offer Italian varietals including Nebbiolo and Sangiovese along with Cabs and blends. The site also has B&B accommodations on the grounds.
