Long ago, you said I “do’ (or maybe just “I’ll move in”). Whatever your arrangement with your better half, one thing’s certain: Quarantine has not helped the romance factor. Working from home, schooling from home and, yes, “date night-ing” from home has taken a toll on even the spiciest couples. What can we do? We say it’s time get outside in the sun, enjoy some world class wine, and simply let your love breathe! Dinner and movie might still be a ways out, but you can get the spark back with these awesome Paso Robles Wine Country experiences. Whether under the stars or the big blue sky, we can promise you one thing: You’re sure to see your sweetie smile.
Find your love nest
Removed, but not too far: Need some quality time to reconnect with your love life? Book one of Paso’s gorgeous and intimate vacation rentals, where you’ll have the whole place to your yourselves. Here, windows open up to vibrant vineyards and you’re never far from a stellar sip. The Guest House at Copia Vineyards is perfectly situated (just 1.5 miles from downtown Paso, yet surrounded by 20 acres of lush, grape-studded greenery and breathtaking views). Nestled within the heart of the Willow Creek District, this modern, open-concept cottage offers up a relaxing retreat not far from dining, boutique shopping and wineries. Of course, you receive a complimentary bottle of their gorgeous, premium wine when you stay and you can purchase more wine from owners, Anita or Varinder, who are just a short stroll away from your new front door. You’ll also receive a personal tour of their 20 acre estate vineyard carpeting the surrounding hills and a fab complimentary wine tasting experience. Yes, it’s the best of both worlds! Stay in or get some sun…either way, joy is on the agenda.
Put your brains together: When’s the last time you learned something new as a couple? When it comes to can’t-be-beat cabernet sauvignon and a crash course on it all, JUSTIN is king. Make them swoon when you make a date for this iconic winery’s scenic estate tasting room, where you’ll enjoy a socially distant and totally decadent educational pairing together. Bathed in natural light, savor stunning views of endless vineyards all while getting a solid wine know-how. Yes, friendly wine guides are here to guide you both, every sip along the way. Take it from us: There’s nothing like discovering your new favorite wine together!
A languid lunch that lingers on: Four Lanterns Winery knows a thing or two about enjoying Westside Paso’s picturesque weather: their ample lawn perfect for breezy outdoor tastings among the chirping birds and buzzing bees. Up the “cute” quotient of your date and pack a picnic for you and your darling to nibble between sips. We recommend an assortment of chocolates, cheeses, local bread, and a big, soft blanket perfect for lounging and looking up at the sky. Have a “third wheel” with a wagging tail in tow? No worries! Bring your best canine companion as well as your human best friend. There’s always room for more love around here.
Excitement is in the air: No, it’s not just that frenetic, springtime feeling you’re sensing on the breeze. March 19-21, Paso Robles Wineries raise a glass to the region’s flagship varietal. Yippee! Yes, zinfandel is a big deal around here and we know how to throw one heck of a party. Make sure you and your honey are in on one of the area’s most beloved wine events, and you’ll be sure to share the memories forever. With socially distant outdoor tastings, special food offerings and live music, there’s no better time to plan your weekend getaway in Paso. Looking for the perfect way to celebrate Vintage Paso Zinfandel Wine Weekend and connect with your partner? Donati Family Vineyard is the place to be March 19-21, when you can sip, lounge and laugh together. Enjoy their newly released Family Reserve Selections as well as all the classics (plus, you can take advantage of savings up to 50% off). Who says a good deal can’t be romantic? Bring home a few bottles to mark the occasion forever.
No, we don’t recommend hopping on an airplane anytime soon.. but a tantalizing tasting flight? We’re all for it! At SixMileBridge, your one-hour flight is guaranteed to transport you and your sweetheart to a whole new realm of sensuality. Savor a range of small batch, Bordeaux wines grown organically and crafted with the utmost care. Sink into the full body experience, allowing senses to take in the magic in your glass. Hey, perhaps you’ll even experience a dash of the owner’s ancestral home of Sixmilebridge, Ireland, where the hills are as stunningly green as Paso Robles in spring. Sure, your journey to get here was a lot shorter, but it has certainly yielded your own pot of gold.
