You’ll find more than 300 welcoming tasting rooms excited to serve you! So if you’re ready for a friendly, casual and totally fun-loving experience, Paso Robles Wine Country is the place to be. Come on in!
Cowboy character
True to our roots: Our pioneering spirit and cowboy heritage give us an authentic vibe that you just cannot fake! Often imitated but never replicated, Paso Robles hospitality is truly legendary. Whether you’re in boots or heels, you’ll feel at home here among the vines. Travel down iconic Peachy Canyon Road and you’ll see what we mean: Oak-studded hills blend with ranch land and vines. Nearby Bodega de Edgar features a laid back tasting deck where you can chew the fat and swirl Spanish style varietals! Let your hair down and kick up your heels—we’ll be sippin’ till the cows come home.
Howdy neighbor! In Paso Robles you’ll find camaraderie among the wineries, not competition. Around here, each tasting route—whether you choose Highway 46, Highway 46 East, downtown or the dusty backroads—bands together to elevate the entire region. In fact, that’s probably why Paso Robles Wine Country has earned its star on the worldwide wine map. At Hoyt Family Wineries’ downtown Paso Robles tasting room, you’ll experience one of many area wineries working to bring glory to our slice of the California dream. Handcrafted, handpicked and totally delicious, these boutique wines are making us all proud, vintage by vintage and day by day.
Why choose? Unlike wine regions that only showcase a few select varietals, Paso Robles Wine Country grows wild and unruly! That means you can find dozens of interesting varieties, from the deep and luscious reds you crave to light, crisp whites and every wine in between. Thanks to our wonderful array of microclimates and soil types, winemakers truly have room to play and experiment. At Sculpterra Winery and Sculpture Garden, you won’t just find cool garden art: You’ll also find an astounding selection of wines. Check out their flagship cabernet sauvignon, Bordeaux-style blends as well as estate viognier, pinot noir, primitivo, cabernet franc, mourvedre, and petite sirah! Sometimes more really is more.
Find your beach in Paso: How many world class wine regions do you know that include a tropical tiki bar among its ranks? Downtown Paso Robles’ Cane Tiki Bar is a breath of fresh air and the perfect place to kick back between tastings. Enjoy exotic drinks garnished with fruity twists and fabulous paper umbrellas, dine on tropical plates and bask in the glow of a manmade sunset! Located in downtown Paso Robles, you can easily stroll to dozens of wine tasting rooms, too. Maybe we’re biased, but island life has nothing on us.
You’re home now: How often do you go on a wine tasting trip only to find that you’ve really only gotten half the experience? Instead of spending previous time trying to figure out where to park or how to get to that next winery, stay where you play! Yep, you can rest easy knowing that Paso Robles is bestowed with plenty of on-site vineyard rentals. At Michael Gill Cellars, you’ll sample flights of top notch, estate-grown syrah crafted just a stone’s throw from the winery’s adorable vineyard cottage. Wake up to sprawling 360-degree vineyard views and relaxing birdsong—a whole lot better than that annoying alarm clock.
