Paso Robles Wine Country is full of surprises! Allow us to delight your senses with unexpected adventures tailored to your unique imagination. From intimate vineyard stays packed with ultra-modern amenities to tropical tiki drinks and a hidden downtown Speakeasy, you’ll find top notch novelty experiences to enjoy between sips of world class Paso wine. So, leave your preconceived notions at the door—we’re about to blow your wine lovin’ mind!
We’re modern
The future is now: Forget everything you know about quaint, country wine country vacation stays. Geneseo Inn is a modern vineyard escape at the cutting edge of boutique hospitality. Nestled in the rolling hills of Paso Robles, you’ll marvel at the forward-thinking design, centered around industrial shipping crates perched above the vines on Cass Winery’s 145 acres of vineyard. Modern appointments, architectural detailing, and an inclusive estate breakfast prepared by the executive chef makes for an unparalleled modern retreat (plus, with chef gardens situated around the perimeter, you’ll savor the freshest of the fresh). Want more? Choose to unwind with a private massage or yoga session or ramp up your adventure by selecting one of the many Cass Camp experiences unique to the inn. What will they think up next?
Happy hour calls: Sure, we love our cowboy boots, but it’s fun to trade our western wear for a Hawaiian shirt every now and then! Ready to sink into a more relaxed state of mind? Stop in for a fruity drink at Cane Tiki Room in downtown Paso Robles for exotic flavors and Polynesian small plates. Brought to you by the Park and Pine Group (owners of nearby FishGaucho, Pappy McGregor’s and Eleven Twenty Two Speakeasy), this colorful bar is a welcome escape from the day-to-day doldrums. Choose from a selection of tropical rum cocktails sourced from around the world paired with fabulous Hawaiian Pu Pu plates. Yum! With an exciting interior space chock full of nautical artifacts sourced from the South Pacific—including a palapa-style ceiling, carved tiki statues and fire and water features—you’ll be immediately transported to your own personal beach.
Only the best: In Paso Robles Wine Country, we know how to live it up. Have a family reunion, wedding or special group retreat in mind? Book a luxurious stay at The Farmhouse at Pelletiere Estate, the quintessential wine country hideaway. Surrounded by vineyards, this private, three-bedroom two-bath farmhouse is nestled in the foothills for the Willow Creek District in the heart of Paso Robles’ renowned Westside (not a bad place to bed down for the night). Enjoy a charming kitchen complete with a coffee service island, breakfast nook, granite countertops, and a timeless vintage stove oven. The dining room and living room both boast French doors that open onto the expansive private multi-level deck that overlooks estate vineyards (so pretty). The downstairs bedrooms feature a queen-sized, twin-sized daybed with an additional roll-out twin bed—plus, French doors that lead out to a secret garden. Of course, you’ll also enjoy WiFi, satellite TV, a gas barbecue, plush robes, towels, and top notch linens. There’s even a cozy fireplace! These people have literally thought of everything!
Meet me at midnight: Wine tasting may be our main bag, but we’re known to slip away for a secret rendezvous when the mood strikes! Folks in the know adore 1122 Speak Easy in downtown Paso Robles for its mysterious vibe and top shelf cocktail offerings served in a totally plush setting. Famous for its 1930’s speakeasy vibe, this swanky lounge was named one of the Top 50 Hidden Speakeasies in the World and voted Best Bar in the North County of SLO—so you know you’re getting into something good. Despite these awesome accolades, it’s not the easiest to find: located on the rear patio of Pappy McGregor’s Pub, the entry door is situated on Railroad St. and is accessible by walking directly on Railroad St. or by walking through Pappy McGregor’s and exiting the rear patio gate. Tell ’em we sent ya. No password required!
Not to brag, but: We’re known the world over for our Bordeaux-style blends and killer cabernet sauvignon! In fact, we’ve racked up more than a few impressive awards as a region (not that we need to get into all that here). While some of the most highly respected wine critics sing our praises vintage after vintage, we continue to keep our heads down and focus on the work ahead. What can we say? Our humble agricultural beginnings and pioneering spirit have kept us down to earth. Stop by one of the area’s more than 250 wineries to see just what we mean. Kiamie Wine Cellars is a friend-owned business, and you can feel that warmth from the first sip. Blending wines from distinctive mountain vineyards on the Westside of Paso Robles, the winery is a collaboration between two guys with diverse, yet complementary backgrounds (in fact, you can read all about their unique partnership in our blog, here). Untethered by tradition, the founders live by one golden rule: showcase only the best fruit Paso Robles has to offer. If that’s not an honorable way to make wine, I don’t know what is.
