Chocolate & Wine at Hope Family Wines

Sign up for the winery’s popular chocolate and wine pairing this winter and prepare to fall head over heels in yum. Held February 10-15, this 90-minute, indoor/outdoor wine tasting experience is a true sensory delight. Nibble seven beautifully handcrafted chocolates courtesy of luxury chocolatier Sheila Kearns (an artisan who, quite simply, lives to see you swoon). To sweeten the deal, these morsels are perfectly paired with six of Austin Hope’s most coveted wines. Now all that’s left to do is sit back on the lounge’s comfy cushions and count your blessings together. How sweet it is!
Long walks on the beach: Ready to really sweep your sweetheart off their sandals? Hit the road and experience a taste of Paso Robles Wine Country on the coast.

The annual Blend Fest Wine Dinner promises to feed more than just the appetite: Known for sophisticated Paso Robles-grown offerings that ignite the taste buds, Four Lanterns wines will be served alongside a farm-fresh menu that marries comfort cuisine with international flavors. Better to reserve your seat now and gain those coveted romance points with your partner! This one could sell out quick!
Skip the candlelight: Fancy tablecloths can get in the way. At Dubost Wine, a romantic dinner need not be stuffy or overly expensive. This rustic winery is nestled among twisting oak branches and cheerful wildflowers—a dreamy ambiance for your first (or four-hundredth) date. Stop by each weekend for delicious wood-fired gourmet pizzas sure to dazzle new and seasoned lovebirds alike.
Enjoy Dubost wines by the flight, glass or bottle while tasting their gourmet wood-fired pizza and artisan cheese plates overlooking the Adelaida country hills. Walk-ins welcome; reservations appreciated!
Dive-in heart first: If you love discovering new wines together, a reserve tasting at Paso’s Oso Libre tasting room is a great opportunity to explore new summits. This elevated experience brings together limited wines and charcuterie for a fascinating flavor excursion you’ll never forget. Sip five premium bottles while your host facilitates an in-depth wine discussion (go on, let your collective curiosity soar). Next, stroll the estate vineyard and put your knowledge to the test. If variety is the spice of life, this tasting is sure to add a dash of novelty to your dynamic. Couples that taste together, stay together!
Romantico: Spanish-style wines boast a certain star quality that’s hard to resist. Why not give in together? At Diablo Paso, take your pick of Spanish stunners, including refreshing albariño and lusty tempranillo. New to these enticing wines? Diablo Paso pours up several unique tempranillo vintages to try. As the first winery to bring Spanish oak barrels to Paso Robles, Diablo Paso takes great pride in imbuing each batch of garnacha or graciano with exotic mystique. Taste for yourself at the winery’s intimate downtown tasting room. Plus, there’s more to adore: Soon, wine club members will also be able to rendezvous at Diablo Paso’s Amigo Wine Club Casa, located a quick, ten-minute stroll from downtown Paso Robles. Me encanta!
