Baileyana Tasting Room, get a
history lesson in a glass
The Baileyana Tasting Room is
the first you encounter upon enter-
ing the Edna Valley from Orcutt
Road and San Luis Obispo. Housed
in the historic 1909 Independence
Schoolhouse, the tasting room is
the home of Baileyana, Tangent,
True Myth, and Zocker brands.
This charming schoolhouse
offers wine-tasting experiences to
accommodate all visitors. With
around 35 different white, red, and
rosé wines to choose from, there
are wines for every guest from the
first-time wine taster to the expert.
With extensive picnic grounds and
views, the family-friendly tasting
room provides a memorable and
fun experience.
Veteran winemaker Rob
Takigawa focuses on bringing
elegant chardonnays, aromatic
whites, and pinot noir wines from
the cool Edna Valley and powerful
reds from the warmer Paso Robles
to Baileyana visitors. These wines
are rich in stories, well told by the
engaging tasting room team.
