Love Metroid, but never got to play a Castlevania game past a first boss. In what order should I play the series?

Order's not all that important. If you like Metroid then you might want to skip to the metroidvania style games, but I'd still suggest you try the classicvanias too.
If you want to start with a classic, try either CV1 or CV3, and move on to stuff like Bloodlines, SCIV, and Rondo.
If you just want to jump into the metroidvanias, start with AoS or SotN and then just play whatever else you want, they're all good.

Classic ones are crap. Play the Metroidvanias.

why is this ever even a question?
Release order every time, regardless of series
Everybody will suggest you to play them in order of release but I think that it's not that important. Castlevania is not always in the MetroidVania style but they worth to play too.
The one I'd recommend.
Castlevania 3 Dracula's Curse (My favourite from the Nes trilogy)
Rondo Of Blood
Symphony Of the night ( it is a metroidvania and make sure that you play it after Rondo of Blood Because it's a "sequel")
Bloodlines
Curse of Darkness (Just finished it for the first time had a fun time with it, It continues the story of Castlevania 3 in a way)
Lords of Shadow, the castlevania/v/ags will try to make you think it's shit but it's amazing. Only play the first one and if you liked it a lot you can try the sequels but they are not that good.
You can play any gba and NDS game. They are all Metroidvanias. My favourite is Order of Ecclesia. Not a fan of the sorrow setting.

I would suggest playing them in release order, starting from Rondo of Blood (the version hidden inside Dracula X Chronicles for PSP) and potentially going back to the older games later
But you can seriously just do whatever order you want
Ignore everything /v/ says and play SOTN.
Go ahead and play Castlevania 1, if you don't like that then try SotN.
Just pick one at random
Or play Rondo of Blood followed by Symphony followed by picking one at random
Lords of Shadow is a decent game.

It's STILL the only major Nintendo series without an animated adaptation
