Make a day of it: conveniently located in downtown, boutique shopping and restaurants are also at your fingertips. Go ahead! Treat yourself to a day of decadence.
Casual K-9 hangs at MEA Wine
Bark if you break for wine! At MEA Wine, “Daisy the tasting room dog” is always there to great guests with a sniff and a wag. This chill, dog-friendly winery may not technically be in Paso Robles (it’s in Atascadero—a few miles to the south), but their estate vineyard sure is. Enjoy the casual, cozy-yet-industrial feel of this popular hangout while enjoying an affordable tasting that delivers the goods (hard to believe these incredible tasting are just $12 a pop!). Savor the sunshine in every sip of MEA’s crisp 100% albarino or go for a luscious Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from grapes grown across the Central Coast. Either way, you’ll find yourself panting for more—and getting more in return. What better way to spend a birthday, day off, or just a long dog day afternoon?
Family vacation at Hoyt Family Vineyards
Need a family pick-me-up? Pack up the car and head to Paso, where the kids can play beneath the oaks while the parents sip fine wine. Plus, with grapes grown in Malibu as well as Paso Robles, you’ll get a unique taste of the coast and countryside, all in one awesome experience! Enjoy handcrafted, small lot wines made with passion, then see exactly how the sausage is made with a vineyard and ranch tour unlike any other. Explore the 100+ acre property, wander through the vines, hike grassy knolls and celebrate with your family, regardless of age (or species—dog’s welcome, too!). Need a little more time? Sleep under the Paso Stars when you book one of Hoyt’s rustic-yet-modern cabins. Now that’s a trip everyone can get on board for.
Breathe easy at Brecon Estate Wines
Be here now: “Relaxing” 100% is easier said than done, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible! In Paso Robles, getting into that totally chill state of mind is as no-fuss as “sip, swirl, savor.” Find your zen at Brecon Estate, where an expansive garden and patio area welcomes weary travelers of all kinds. The vibe might be laid back, but Brecon wines are as dynamic as they come: enjoy award winning and unusual small batch blends that shine with Paso’s unique terroir. Hungry? The Brecon folks actually encourage you to bring your own picnic. You bring the snacks, they’ll bring the wine. Wow, that was easy.
