5 Reasons Paso Robles Tasting Rooms Rule

  • February 14, 2023
  • By PasoWine

Not to brag, but Paso rules the wine world! In Paso Robles Wine Country, we’ve got the goods. From unique, off-the-beaten-path experiences and breathtaking vineyard tours to crave-worthy sit-down meals, our tasting rooms are full of epic surprises you won’t find anywhere but Paso. Where else can you taste under sprawling oak trees, hunt for black truffles, then head to the beach for a breath of fresh air? With more than 250 tasting rooms to explore, you’ll never run out of reasons to choose Paso Robles Wine Country. Here’s 5 of our favorites:

Never boring

Fresh perspective: With so many diverse tasting rooms across the region, it’s no wonder that each has its own personality and style. Boring? Never! In fact, you might just come away with a whole new appreciation for Paso wine. Styled after an elegant European hunting lodge, Michael Gill Cellars is known exclusively for producing premium syrah (if you’re not a fan of the inky wine, you will be shortly). Sample estate-grown syrah from various vintages, vineyards–even specific vineyard blocks. Yep. This is just one of a zillion ways that Paso Robles Wine Country stands out from the crowd. No two tasting rooms are exactly alike, and that’s exactly how we like it.

Tantalizing tours

Explore paradise: For those who love to roam, Paso Robles Wine Country is home to enticing tours that promise to whisk you through the vineyard as well as the barrel room/production facility. If you’ve never been on an educational wine tour, this is your sign to book one at Pelletiere Estate Winery. Home to rich Italian varieties, the Paso tasting room and vineyard is nestled on a historic homestead and surrounded by heavenly rolling hills. Tour the lush landscape and learn just how those premium Italian grapes journey from vine to glass. When you expand your knowledge of Paso wine, it makes the entire experience that much more delicious. Gold stars for all!

Land and sea

Wave hello: When you think of Paso Robles Wine Country, you probably imagine oak-studded hills and dusty country roads. Sure, we’ve got rustic charm in spades. But did you know that we’re also located just a few miles from the coast? Sip wines oceanside when you book a tasting at Absolution Cellars in Morro Bay. Specializing in limited production, hand-crafted single-vineyard wines made from diverse Central Coast grapes, you’ll embark on a hero’s journey through waves of local flavor. Located directly on the embarcadero, you’ll also get a dose of fresh, Pacific sea air with every swirl. Now we could get used to this.

Surprising treats

Expect the unexpected: Life is full of fun surprises–at least in Paso Robles Wine Country! Allow your mind to be blown when you visit Caelesta Wines, Vineyard + Truffière, a very special tasting room that takes palate-pleasing flavors to the next level. Enjoy world class Rhone-style wines served alongside earthy black truffles grown right there on the property. No, you’re not in the French countryside, but you might have trouble believing it’s Paso. In fact, dog-led truffle hunts take place at the tasting room through February, so you can experience the thrill of uncovering one of the world’s most coveted culinary ingredients. Who needs an expensive flight to Europe, anyway?

Nobody leaves without a smile

Craving more? Our tasting rooms feature sit-down experiences crafted to impress and nourish. Beautiful wines are just the start. Look up at the video-worthy ceiling for a moving sea undulating above you in Sextant Wine’s Paso Tasting Room with views of their working barrel rooms below. You can expect cheese and charcuterie to accompany your friendly wine tasting experience all served with a warm Paso-approved smile. Sextant Wines second tasting room in neighboring Edna Valley is  situated adjacent to the Old Edna townsite, and offers up gourmet lunch goodies to savor along with their award-winning pinot noir and chardonnay wines. Why just taste the vino when you can savor a one-two punch of fabulous flavor and big smiles?
