The holidays are fast approaching—do you know where all that holiday magic will come from? Sure, you could conjure the warm and cozy glow yourself, but why not let us do all the work? From a cheerful, colorful downtown to festive culinary offerings and exciting tours, Paso Robles Wine Country is your enchanting holiday getaway conveniently located on the California coast midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Complete with sunny days, scenic vineyards and the finest wines for gifting and sipping, you’ll find way more than 5 easy ways to celebrate the season. But here’s a great start!

Group outings that glitter

Underground wonders: One of Paso’s first and most iconic wineries, Eberle Winery is all about serving up classic California Cabernet Sauvignon alongside a fun-loving vibe. Got a gaggle of loved ones in tow? You’ll want to plan a group outing to Eberle Winery’s Vineyard Deck and Cave Tour, which whisks folks underground for a peek at stacks of aging barrels. Afterward, enjoy red and white wines by the glass in a stunning outdoor setting. Plus, dogs are welcome on leash, too! This is the feel-good soiree of the season, so grab a friend (or five) and swing on by.

You clean up nice: The holidays are all about upping the ante (of course, around here that night just means donning a new pair of cowboy boots).

This elegant hideaway is Paso’s best-kept semi-secret, serving up delicious cocktails in an alluringly retro setting. Whether you’re dressed to the nines or just feel like a million bucks, all you need is a simple password (knock-knock) to enter this non-exclusive club. From Thanksgiving to New Years, there’s always a reason to cheers. The holidays never felt so swanky!
