Here is another great review from one of our guests that posted this on Trip Advisor...
One of the best experiences I've had in a LONG, LONG time. Came on September 15th through the 17th for my wedding anniversary. Beautiful views, comfortable beds and great food make this place one of a kind. The owner met us when we checked in and Sean, one of their staff members was an absolute riot! The breakfasts were to die for. Pray that you get the french toast, the best I've ever had. I was sad that our stay was only for two nights, but I'm hoping that we can make it back for our next anniversary

Here is a wonderful review from a guest that posted on Trip Advisor about us...
My husband knows how much I love Santa Fe and Taos, so for our 1 year anniversary he surprised me with a trip to Wild Coyote B&B in Paso Robles. It was beautiful and relaxing. It is also a winery exclusively to great tasting reds. The adobe looking rooms and atmosphere was serene and relaxing. The breakfast was brought to your room every morning. We were expecting a continental breakfast and we were served Eggs Benedict, Hash Browns, fruit and fresh squeezed orange juice. The next morning was homemade cinnamon french toast, hard boiled eggs,sausage, yogurt, and raspberries and strawberries. I can't say enough about Wild Coyote, if you are tired of the same old boring hotel rooms you owe it to yourself to book a room.

Here is a simple and to the point review from Trip Advisor.
The design of the rooms, in an southwestern adobe style, was interesting and they were very clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly and excellent, and the sunrises over the vineyards were worth getting up at the crack of dawn for. If the the rooms seems a little pricey to you, join the wine club and get a 20% discount on the room rate. The wines are good enough that this will be a no brainer.

Heres another wonderful review we found on Trip Advisor ~Wild Coyote
I just got back from my stay at the Wild Coyote during the Paso Zinfandel Festival with my father.
Gianni and Kati were wonderful welcoming hosts and their staff were incredibly helpful and friendly.
The rooms are large, warm, cozy, absolutely immaculate and charmingly decorated in Santa Fe style.
Their wines are excellent! Gianni is a great winemaker.
Gianni and Kati put a lot of love into this place and it shows. The views from the rooms are absolutely breathtaking. It's a peaceful, healing place.
Gianni's recommendations for wine-touring transportation were also excellent.
We had a fantastic time!

Another review that we found on Trip Advisor that we wanted to share with you! ~Wild Coyote
We had a wonderful romantic weekend at this B&B.
It is well located to do some wonderful wine tasting at other places in the canyon.
It is a bit of drive to local restaraunts but the bar-b-que grill on the patio is fun.
The rooms share a courtyard for socializing and sitting around the fire pit. Each room is very quiet and well decorated.
The view is incredible.
Breakfast was wonderful and delivered when we wanted it.
We would like to let you know that the drive to town is not far as this guest had mentioned. We are located only 3 miles from dinning in Paso Robles. ~Wild Coyote

This was another review we found on Trip Advisor! I had to share it with you!!

Proprietors Kati & Gianni bend over backwards to make their guests feel more like family and friends than guests at their Estate vineyard and B&B.
With the peace and quiet and solitude found at Wild Coyote you can't help but leave work and the city behind you.
Gianni's awesome big red wines and the hot tub certainly don't hurt either.
The rooms are all done in a New Mexico pueblo style that Kati has painstakingly decorated. The ambience transports you to another time and place where life was much simpler and slower.
Did I mention Kati cooks up one heck of a meal for breakfast to get your day started?
Visit Sean (what a character) in the tasting room and use Wild Coyote as starting point to explore Paso's wine country or simply make wild Coyote your destination, you won't be disappointed either way.

This review is about our Tasting Room! Its pretty awesome and we appreciate these!
~Wild Coyote
I can't comment on the casitas. I just want to tell you something about Wild Coyote winery. I have lived in Paso for almost 10 years and long ago get tired of the wine tasting circuit. Recently, some family and friends came to visit for a week and, naturally, they wanted to do some wine tasting. I spent several days as their designated driver.
One thing that has apparently been lost in this fast-growing, attention-getting wine town is the presence of the owner and/or winemaker in the tasting room.
Instead, there are employees, most with only limited knowledge of what they are pouring and little or no knowledge of the winemaker or owner other that the obviously carefully rehearsed anecdotes clearly designed to talk up the greatness of the owner/winemaker. Most were college students with no connection to the wine industry at all.
I found most of these tasting rooms to offer a generic experience that left me feeling that my guests and I were cattle being run through a gauntlet: get them in the room, feed them a drop or two of wine, regurgitate a few boring anecdotes, then make them feel uncomfortable unless a purchase occurs. None offered to get a question answered by someone who actually had any knowlege and on at least two occasions provided clearly incorrect answers as if they were fact.
Not so at Wild Coyote. I hadn't been there in almost six years until today. Gianni Manucci is both owner and winemaker. He was there, in person, handling the entire tasting experience by himself. We were made to feel welcome the minute we walked in the door, even though there were several other groups already tasting. Gianni handed us a list of the wines he was pouring, explained that the (very reasonable) $5 tasting fee included a nice branded wine glass, and began pouring, all the while maintaining a low key conversation: it wasn't about him unless we asked about him. He made it about us. Some of the other groups left without a purchase. Gianni treated them just as warmly as he did those who bought wine. He answered technical questions with ease, even recalled that we has met once six years previously (he remembered where I was form and what I did for a living).
It's just a small thing, but having the vintner there makes it a wine experience, not just a wine tasting. And it was the ONLY winery over the course of three days where the guy who made the wine was there in the room.
I urge anyone who likes big reds (and WILD COYOTE'S wines are definitely big) to try Wild Coyote. Even if big reds are not your thing, go and see what a tasting room should be: the winemaker purveying his product. Gianni could teach a lot of the other Paso wine players a few things about how to treat the customer...
