Dare to be different! When planning your wine tasting adventure, there’s probably a few must-have items on your checklist. “Is the wine good?” probably hangs pretty high on that list, but there’s so many other factors to consider, too. Is it beautiful? Friendly? Unique? Well, we’re here to say that Paso Robles Wine Country satisfies all of those qualifications (with bells on). With more than 300 tasting rooms and dozens of unique varietals to choose from, plus warm hospitality, a dynamic downtown, close proximity to the coast and so many ways to stay and play, you’ll find yourself thinking, “Wow. Paso Robles is different.” Standing out from the crowd is just what we do. Join us, won’t you?
Something for everyone
Surprise and delight: When it comes to variety, Paso Robles Wine Country can boast with the best of them. Featuring more than 300 tasting rooms ranging from Mediterranean-styled villas to ultra-modern lounges—and every vibe in between—you’ll find the perfect wine tasting experience for you! In fact, we’re home to several unique wine trails and AVAs, each with its own special “it” factor. Nestled along the dusty Backroads Wineries trail, Locatelli Winery offers up bold estate-grown wines ripened in the San Miguel sun. Stop by this scenic tasting room for a splash of afternoon delight or even camp out overnight among the vines—RVs are welcomed!
Warm hospitality
Humble brag: You’d think a wine region this lovely to look at would be a tad snooty to visit. Not so! In Paso Robles Wine Country, your tasting always comes with a heaping side of warm hospitality. Perhaps it’s our agricultural roots—or the fact that we’ve worked hard to earn our place among the world’s most acclaimed wine regions—but we’re known for “keeping it real.” Whether you kick up your boots at a small mom and pop tasting room or head for an elegant estate, you’re sure to be treated like family (and perhaps even meet the winemaker). Stop by Villa San-Juliette’s sun-dappled veranda for a fabulous flight and a hot lunch, and you’ll see what we mean. Savor a gourmet feast of bruschetta and seafood stew or perhaps a mixed green salad with filet mignon. Your choice. What can we say? We live to serve you.
Downtown dynamo
Food, friends and fine wine: If you’re craving a Paso Robles Wine Country experience all wrapped up in one amazing, walkable package, head to downtown Paso Robles immediately! Known for its quaint park, real-life cowboys and romantic street lamps, you’ll find a touch of classic comfort poured up alongside a slew of modern wine tasting offerings. Enjoy more than a dozen top notch wine tasting rooms, plus foodie-friendly restaurants, cocktail lounges, boutique shops, entertainment, art galleries and more! A true piece of Paso Robles heritage, Derby Wine Estates might be one of downtown’s most prized jewels. Serving world class wines at the iconic Almond Growers Building, you’ll savor a winning combo of history, quality and convenience.
Stay your way
Welcome home: Whether you seek a quiet, restful night surrounded by vines and birdsong or are looking for a fun, three story house with a barbecue pit and a pool, Paso Robles Wine Country is the ultimate place to live like a local. Check into comfort at a luxurious resort, crank up the romance at an on-site winery stay or throw the best family reunion ever when you book a full-on party pad. With Paso Robles Vacation Rentals, you need not compromise on a single detail of your stay. With more than 140 unique lodging options to choose from, you can have your bed…and breakfast too!
We’re coastal (sort of)
Dive in: When you think of wine grapes, you probably don’t think about the beach. But in Paso Robles Wine Country, it’s all about surf and turf! The Highway 46 West wine trail provides a lovely drive from rolling hills to the coast, delivering you onto iconic Highway 1. Along the way, stop at a bevy of fantastic wine tasting rooms, including Tooth and Nail Winery, our resident gothic “castle.” With groovy live music, small plates and creative wines at the ready, you’ll enjoy the royal treatment the moment you walk across the moat draw-bridge (yes, we said moat!) Next stop? The glittering Pacific, Elephant Seals and Hearst Castle, just beyond. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live like a king or queen…well, now you know.
