A night at the winery!
Stay over at Venteux Vineyards: A night at the museum? Boring. A night at the winery? Thrilling. What better way to experience Paso Wine Country than by sleeping over at a working winery? At Venteux Vineyards, you can do just that. With cozy accommodations perfect for couples or small groups, enjoy a happy home base nearby all the region’s distinct destinations. Plus, guests savor a complimentary tasting in the Venteux Tasting Room! Unwind at the winery’s spacious outdoor area, a fabulous oasis for sipping delicious Rhone and Bordeaux wines. Whether you choose to book the Winemaker’s Loft perched above the tasting room or plan to move into the rustic guest house nestled within Venteux’s estate vineyard, you’ll adore waking up to Paso.
Fly over Halter Ranch: Sure, you could arrive by ride share, tour bus or bicycle. But what about flying in? At the Halter Ranch, part-time pilots can enjoy stunning views while touching down for lunch in the tasting room. Not in the position to fly or charter a private flight? No worries! Book the winery’s Defender Picnic and Pairing experience and roll into incredible boutique Rhone and Bordeaux offerings. Explore Halter Ranch in a classic Land Rover Defender, encompassing a five-acre pond, valley views and a 700-year-old Coast Live Oak, the largest on record!

The best part? Each stop features a tasty wine and cheese pairing. Talk about a road snack that satisfies!
Wildflowers and wilderness at Bovino Vineyards: Spring in Paso Robles is like something torn from a dreamy storybook romance: Rolling green hills, baby blue skies and lush vines as far as the eye can see. Luxuriate in the presence of butterflies, birds and buzzing bees during this sensual season. Located in nearby Templeton, Bovino Vineyards is surrounded by stunning panoramas, including 45 acres of pristine vines. Not only will you enjoy a glorious sunset and a boutique wine tasting, friends! Thanks to recent rains, you’re likely to spy colorful wildflowers blooming all around the area. Savor this floral masterpiece while you can–Spring seems to vanish as quickly as it arrives. Nestled in the El Pomar AVA, this hospitable mom-and-pop winery boasts one of the best places to kick back, relax and enjoy a very verdant view.
Share a slice at Windward Vineyards: Remember when pizza parties meant you aced the test or won the soccer game? We believe there should be way more adult pizza parties in 2023–and Windward Vineyard agrees! Celebrate life’s wins (both big and small) when you cozy up to a cheesy meal at this fun-loving Paso winery. On select dates this spring, Chef Andrei pulls out all the stops with perfectly-charred Neapolitan pizzas topped with gourmet ingredients that wow. As if you even had to ask–yes! Each pizza pairs perfectly with Windward’s Burgundian-style pinot noir offerings. In other words: Winner winner, pizza dinner.
Nothing is everything at Écluse: Put down your phone and meditate on the wonderful wine in your hand. At Écluse, this job is a sinch. The winery’s scenic terrace bolsters anyone’s pursuit of pure pleasure: Located just off the crush pad, this outdoor nook overlooks the winery’s awe-inspiring Lock Vineyard. Soak in blissful Paso Wine Country views, enjoy a picnic and gather around a glass or bottle of award-winning Écluse wine. But first–a leisurely stroll through the winery’s impressive barrel room (where the magic happens, as they say). Here, you’ll savor a seated tasting of the best Rhone and Bordeaux offerings. When your to-do list looks like this, there’s no rush, no muss.
