Christopher Joyce Vineyard and Inn

We stayed 2 nights as we were in town for the Firestone-Walker Invitational beer fest and had a wonderful time staying at the CJ Vineyard Inn. Joyce was a complete joy to chat with and she even upgraded us to the larger upstairs room due to a cancellation at no extra charge. She also puts out some excellent snacks and made us feel right at home. We would highly recommend staying here if you're in the area as it made our trip much more memorable than just staying in a typical Hampton Inn, etc. The next time I'm in Paso Robles I will definitely be booking to stay here!!!

The views are mind-blowing - no pictures can do them justice. Every room offers a different angle of the expansive property, hills, and vineyards. The property offers serenity and privacy without feeling cold or secluded. The house, with it's unique architecture & modern-rustic décor, is fascinating. When we got there, another couple had cancelled so the innkeeper Joyce upgraded us at no cost to the upstairs room (the Vineyard Loft). Joyce was a phenomenal cook. We're vegetarian, and she was very accommodating, which was nice. The quality of the food though, was easily equal or better to the best restaurants we've eaten at in downtown Paso (which if you consider the cost, adds a lot of value to the price of a room). We started out with plans to try a few more restaurants but always inevitably came back for Joyce's food, not to mention her convivial company during hors d'oeuvre hour/dinner. The Inn is situated perfectly amongst its own vineyards, as well as a host of others in the area. There are many fantastic wineries just a short drive away. Joyce set us off each day with a great list of some of the best wineries to visit, all of which met or exceeded our expectations. We had an amazing time and will always remember our stay there!

I stumbled appon this gem through B&B. I was initially attracted to the views and the modern style of the house and furniture. Once I stayed here I came to enjoy Joyce's wonderful cooking and company. The menu was international and very tasty. My girlfriend and I felt very spoiled and pampered. Who doesn't like having breathtaking views while enjoying the peace and quiet of the country side. We really feel like we have made a new friend and want to come back next year for Valentines Day.

Stayed here a few days before NYE and had a wonderful time, Joyce is a wonderful lady, a GREAT chef and we would stay here again GLADLY! Great breakfast, truly unique house in a great location, how could you possible beat it....easy, you can't!

Joyce was super friendly, knowledgable, and a first-rate breakfast chef. She helped introduce us to the local wineries and to some amazing gin. Her dogs were also friendly and added to the fun!

Joyce Clark was a delightful host. She provided delicious appetizers and wine each night, then a nice sit-down breakfast each morning. Our only complaint was that the room was not cleaned each day we stayed. For the price of $255/night, we should have had cleaning service.

Great two nights stay here. The room is great and the food is even better.

We really enjoyed our stay. At first, we weren't quite sure what to expect as it is several miles from PR, but the space was very roomy, lots of light, comfortable bed/sheets and relaxing and beautiful views. Joyce is a wonderful hostess - wine and appetizers and breakfast were fantastic. Her little dogs are so enjoyable and it was a evident that she takes great pride in what she does.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two nights at the Inn. Joyce provided excellent suggestions on how to best explore the surrounding area. Joyce also makes the best breakfasts ever.

A family wedding at the near by mission brought our family together at this wonderful Inn. Joyce was such a pleasure and a great chef and hostess. Each room was unique and gorgeous and the beautiful vineyard surroundings made it even better. We will be back! And we loved Buster and Belle the sweet dogs!

We enjoyed a 2 night stay in this unique bed and breakfast. Joyce was available and a great source of honest information regarding wine and local wineries. The late afternoon wine and nibbles are outstanding and definitely more than just nibbles so save some room! The breakfasts were also tasty and substantial and we appreciated the extra special service our last morning. The setting is tranquil and great for strolling the countryside - we were lucky to be accompanied by Buster, the innkeeper's friendly Jack Russell terrier who gave us a proper tour of the area!

The location is perfect, the inn is clean, comfortable and unique. When staying there you dream of this place being your own home. Joyce is an amazing cook and she uses herbs and tomatoes from her garden. We were delighted to be escorted by her dog Buster on our walk around the vineyard each morning.

I was reluctant to stay at a B&B for the first time, but Christopher Joyce Pleasantly surprised me! Joyce's beautiful house and gracious service made for a perfect weekend getaway! Being dog-friendly was the icing on the cake!

Owner-Proprietor Joyce Clark made us feel like family. Hors d'oeuvres with wine in the afternoon were tasty and breakfasts were a great way to start the day. Especially enjoyed conversations with Joyce as she prepared the food. (Hope I wasn't a distraction) We will definitely stay again.

Joyce has created a wonderful retreat for those visiting the Paso Robles area. The modern architecture nestled amongst the vineyards is a unique juxtaposition and it's interwoven with a wonderful collection of art, objects and sculpture. Buster her Jack Russell terrier welcomes you to the property with amazing views of the vineyards, surrounding pastures and hills. Our stress began to melt away as Joyce served several local wines and a delicious spread of h'orderves, breads and cheeses. The following day Joyce served an amazing breakfast beffore heading out for a day in downtown Paso and of the local wineries. We took her recommendations for wineries and dinner and we were not disappointed! The weekend at Joyce's was more comparable to spending the weekend at your favorite aunt's house. We will definitely be booking again at the Christopher-Joyce Inn & Vineyard!!

True foodies reJoyce!! Rooms are spacious and comfy. The home is spotless. But the food is the real story. The breakfast here was the best meal we had on our trip. Joyce also had a stunning anti-pasta spread out for our arrival. TIP: be sure Joyce has an accurate time for your arrival and departure, you will be thrilled too! We'll be back!

Joyce is wonderful. Her home is gorgeous. Her cooking is outstanding. Her wine tasting/happy hour is classy and fun. Our stay was perfect. I didn't want to leave...I will be back!

My wonderful BF booked the loft suite for the weekend to celebrate my birthday. We brought our two dogs and upon arrival felt welcomed with open arms. Joyce is a very gracious and wonderful host/innkeeper and made us feel at home immediately as did her little dog Buster. She gave us a rundown of the place, offered us brochures and information about the area and activities, and a key to our suite which we could access from the outside and not have to worry about being out too late or taking the dogs out for a midnight pee. Breakfast the next morning was awesome! Joyce prepared a breakfast risotto with eggs, asparagus, pancetta, mushrooms and whatever other yummy goodness was in it. It was coupled with coffee cake and pastries, fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee. The dinnerware we ate with was definitely a topic of conversation and are pieces that you would not normally see anywhere else but at Joyce's! It kind of made it fun to eat her food. We were even able to request a simple pancake breakfast for the next morning. Well we got the pancake breakfast but it wasn't as simple as we thought it would be.... it was better. Joyce made two different kinds of pancakes, plain and pumpkin along with bacon and eggs with warm butter and real maple syrup. Amazing. The house sits on 10 acres of land and is modern in appearance with very different pieces of art and decor throughout. The kitchen is what I dream my kitchen would be like one day and the rooms are spacious with impressive bathrooms and showers. There are many windows throughout the house from which you can enjoy the views of the surrounding vineyards and wake up to the beautiful sunrise. My BF described Joyce as the favourite "aunt" that we all have yet are only able to visit with twice a year. That description is spot on and I can't wait to visit with "Aunt Joyce" again in the near future.

The room was nice, but all the kitchen noise and music can be heard in the room. The music should be turned off at 9:00. The kitchen noise can be heard as early as 6:30 since Joyce starts preparing the wonderful food. I would also suggest that Kleenex tissues should be provided in the room.

What a "diamond" in the rough. Well, shall I say, vineyard! The food and hospitality were outstanding and look forward to visiting Joyce and her dog Buster again in the future. Views and ambiance were incredible.

Just a few miles out of the main town transports you into a lovely vineyard and country area. Joyce is truely the quintessential host of this lovely B&B. Her cooking is incredible. Breakfast and afternoon app's & wine are of a crazy high quality. It's obvious that she loves what she does, it pours out in every detail of our stay. Joyce is sure to please all travelers, from picky to shy. She has a way about her that puts everyone in a great place. I recommend this particularly for those who travel w/ a companion reluctant to stay at a B&B. Outside is her dry farmed zinfindel vineyards. Cattle and horses closeby along with deer, hawk and quite an amazing array of birds and wildlife. Inside every room is beautifully decorated, maximizing the views outside with comfort inside. Her Jack Russell Buster is also a little host in his own right. He naturally senses who wants attention. He and my female Cassie were almost inseparable. Highly recommended. Can I give her 6 stars?

We've stayed in B&B's all over the country... Joyce's place is as close to perfect as we've experienced.

We just returned from a weekend at Christopher Joyce Vineyard and Inn. We really enjoyed Joyce and Buster. We loved the wine & snacks in the evening and the creative, delicious breakfast. Her restaurant recommendations were spot on. Joyce helped make my husband's 40th birthday weekend so special. Everything was perfect and we will be back again!

Joyce is a gracious host who has an excellent location. Plus she is a terrific cook! We enjoyed every minute at her vineyard and inn!

Lovely accomodations in a beautiful setting. The innkeeper is a warm and generous host with great culinary talent. Great area for a short or longer getaway.

We stayed two nights for a romantic getaway in December. The inkeeper was very friendly and knowledgeable about the local wine scene, and the food was amazing! We enjoyed 5:30 snacks and wine, and delicious breakfasts. Our room was comfortable, though a bit cold--we like sleeping in a cool room and there were plenty of blankets so were fine. We enjoyed the modern decor and rural setting.

Wonderful hospitality. Great views from every window. Quiet. Breakfasts and evening hors d'oeuvres were excellent. However, no carpeting in bedroom so perhaps bring dog bedding. No mirror above sink in bathroom, and no lights near room mirror several steps away from sink, which makes for difficult shaving and makeup application.

Gorgeous room, gorgeous property, incredible food (breakfast, appetizers & wine, desserts were offered but we declined) Great experience, we'll definitely go again!!

Joyce's B&B is a rare gem. From the extraordinary architecture of her home, the beautiful rolling hills of her vineyard, the amazing artwork in and around the B&B, her culinary skills, and the natural warmth and graciousness she shows to everyone, our stay at Christopher Joyce was a rare and wonderful experience. My husband and I are lucky to have found this place and will become regulars. I highly recommend this establishment.

My husband and I stayed here last November and we could have not been anymore impressed.This is by far our favorite weekend getaway. Joyce, the innkeeper, was absolutely delightful and an amazing chef! After an hour of being there, we booked another weekend 3 months later. I would highly recommend to anyone!

Just spent 3 nights at this absolute gem! The most relaxing 3 nights I have had in years! Joyce is a great host and is exceptionally acommodating. Breakfast is a lesson in decadent indulgence! Our room, the Winemakers Suite, was very large, almost like a house within the house, and featured a super-somfy bed, large wrap-around deck, 10 feet from the vines and where we ate every morning, and the most amazing shower and soaking tub for two! We will miss Joyce and Buster (her great little Jack Russell Terrier). The hospitality, food, and privacy, and run of the house were great examples of how a vacation getaway should be! Thanks! Michael Scott

We loved our stay at the Christopher Joyce Vineyard Inn. The location and setting are perfect for anyone wishing to "get away from it all". The views ares amazing - especially the sunsets. Joyce made us feel right at home with a warm welcome and extra touches. The rooms were comfortable and the food was delicious and plentiful....great for starting a day of wine-tasting. WE WILL BE BACK!

This was the best B&B we have ever stayed at! We traveled down to Paso last weekend with friends who had booked this for all of us for 2 nights. There were only 2 rooms, so we basically had the run of the house. I have to say that it greatly exceeded our expectations. Joyce made us feel as if we were guests in her home, providing the most abundant and fabulous breakfast! When we arrived on Friday she had a wonderful spread of appetizers for us to enjoy on the deck. We enjoyed them as we sipped some wine and watched the sun set. The rooms were amazing, well appointed and comfortable. It is a modern decor but very comfortable and welcoming. It is inviting and you want to sit and relax. I really can not express enough how much the experience at Christopher Joyce added overall to our weekend. It was truly amazing, and we would not only recommend it to everyone (I already have!), but we would stay there again, and again. Thank you Joyce!

The Christoper Joyce Vineyard & Inn has it all - great wine county views, peaceful evenings, generous hospitality and all the comforts of home. Joyce's hospitality and special touches made us feel welcomed and right at home as if we were part of the family. The breakfasts and other house specialties were truly amazing and tasty! What a cook! The entire experience and stay was wonderful. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!

The Christopher Joyce manages an impressive combination of earthy modern home, mini art gallery along with outdoor sculpture, and delicious vineyard cuisine. Joyce's knowledge of local wineries and "Paso" and surrounds is a great plus. We were happy to learn that we could--and we did--walk from the B & B to the Caparone Winery. We experienced a truly refreshing weekend at this new and original B & B.

I was planning a getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life and chanced upon the website of this modern and comfortable B&B in Paso Robles, CA. the heart of wine country Central Coast. Spent a few days there and thoroughly enjoyed myself !! Loved the vineyard, the food, the knowledge of the innkeeper on the wine industry of the region. Everything was perfect and I will definately return.

This B&B is amazing. I wanted a weekend away for some quite relaxation time. I work all the time and it was nice to drive and feel i was miles away from everything. The views are breath taking. The food is outstanding! She is the best cook around. It was such an amazing weekend I've already made plans to go back and stay again! I would recommend this to everyone!

A visit to Christopher Joyce B&B is like a trip to Tuscany - but only a two hour drive from the Bay Area. As soon as we turned off Rt. 101, the countryside opened up to a gorgeous vista of rolling hills and vineyards. When you drive up the private road to the house, the striking architecture makes a dramatic impression. Everything in this modern B& B is about style, art, and don’t forget impeccable cuisine. Joyce is a fabulous chef and hostess. The surrounding property is perfect for a peaceful stroll. Next time we go, we’ll spend more time exploring the shops and restaurants in town, but this visit was the perfect weekend getaway.

Christopher Joyce Vineyard and Inn located on a hill top has spectacular views of Paso Robles and surrounding areas. Upon our arrival we were warmly welcomed. Our breakfast changed daily, one day we had homemade pancakes, the next a delicious egg dish with the works. Every evening the inn keeper left us a tray of delicious treats. The rooms have great views, are large and are very clean we were very impressed and just loved our stay. We loved sitting out on the deck and enjoying the views. You won’t be disappointed, we plan on returning.
