Whether your gift-giving list includes folks that crave exploration, education or just a little extra celebration—you’ll find the perfect way to spoil them via the magic of Paso Robles Wine Country. Plus: when gift-giving is this effortless, it’s only right to give back to yourself, right? Go on. Hit the “easy” button with us.
Virtual Tastings
Paso wine, anywhere: Whether your loved one lives across the state or across the world, you can easily gift a virtual tasting of Paso Robles wines this holiday season. Bring Paso Robles Wine Country to their computer or tablet screen with a truly modern tasting experience they’ll never forget. Paso Robles’ own Absolution Cellars offers this nifty and oh-so-effortless opportunity, so click on over to their site for details. All the giftee will need to do is join the fun live via Facebook Live or Zoom (plus you’ll save $25 off the retail price of the wine and 33 percent off regular ground shipping). Featuring estate grown zinfandel and cabernet sauvignon, Absolution Cellars will ship three distinct bottles to their door, ready to taste. Modern miracles, right?
Can’t go wrong with cab: What to give the red wine drinker who’s always looking for their next best sip? Well, we have a pretty good idea. Paso Robles cabernet sauvignon never goes out of style! Donati Family Vineyard in Paso Robles is known for crafting robust reds that add a dash of plush magic to the holidays (plus, you’ll get 30 percent off when you purchase three or more bottles of cabernet sauvignon from the winery this holiday season). We recommend checking out their online store now and picking up the 2019 Donati Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon—an instant classic. With big, chewy tannins and bold notes of ripe cherry, cocoa, caramel, and baking spices, this is one stocking stuffer designed to delight.
Gift more: There’s nowhere in the world quite like Paso Robles Wine Country. Why not gift your traveling pals an in-person experience that showcases everything this award-winning wine region has to offer? Simply gift a seated tasting at Pelletiere Estate Winery, a family-owned Paso Robles tasting oasis producing single varietal, single vineyard Italian offerings in a truly gorgeous setting. With this elevated wine experience, your loved one will be introduced to rare Italian varietals that highlight the stellar features of the Willow Creek District AVA. The tasting includes a history lesson of the area and a thoughtful tasting lineup akin to a tour through the Tuscan countryside. Finally, a great gift that leaves zero clutter!
A club they’ll want to be part of: This one’s so easy it tends to hide right under our noses! What’s the big to-do? A wine club membership ensures your giftee will feel the love all year long, as fresh bottles are shipped several times a year. When it comes to gifting wine club memberships to friends or family, go for a winery that offers up a full array of stunning whites and reds (most clubs allow members to switch their preference, if ever needed). A great contender for Santa’s favorite sign-up? Four Lanterns Winery, which offers a wine club membership we’d be seriously jazzed to join. With a three-bottle, classic six bottle, red wine, white wine and case club to choose from, your giftee will not only enjoy fabulous bottles shipped directly to their door. They’ll also enjoy complimentary in-person tastings and a healthy discount whenever they hit the tasting room. Now that’s the gift that keeps on giving!
The gift of freedom: Did you know that plenty of Paso Robles wineries offer virtual gift cards all year round? Yes, this might be the biggest no-brainer holiday gift on your list! For the loved one that prefers to choose their own adventure, gift a shopping spree courtesy of Riboli Family of San Antonio Winery in Paso Robles (gift cards can hold up to $200). But will they like it? Trust us: this Paso Robles tasting room is known for crafting an array of drinkable, crowd-pleasing wines, including lush Bordeaux varietals and food friendly blends. Your loved one will be able to pick out exactly what tickles their fancy, whether that be a bottle of Opaque Darkness (a popular red blend) or a Riboli Family gift set complete with chocolates, nuts and sweet treats. Let freedom ring!
