Put your phone down in Paso Robles Wine Country! More and more of our lives are spent online. Between social media notifications and email pings, there’s not much time left to enjoy the real pleasures of everyday life. True? Not so in Paso Robles Wine Country, where incredible IRL adventures await around every corner. Even your favorite smartphone game (we’re looking at you, Words with Friends, Candy Crush) is no match for our array of dazzling food and wine experiences. Time to log off and venture into the vineyard. Now that you’re in Paso Robles Wine Country, you’ll start to see your phone for what it really is: a device designed to make calls.
Cull your friends list
Up your engagement: Ever see a bunch of friends all on their phones at the same time? It’s a sad sight, but not one you’re likely to see happening anywhere in Paso Robles Wine Country! That’s because we’re built for in-person fun. Grab a few of your best buds and make a beeline for one of our 250+ tasting rooms, all with their own unique charm. Hope Family Wines is a groovy spot to clink glasses and compare tasting notes. With casual and comfy areas to hang–and delicious pairings to nibble–you’ll find a zillion ways to connect with your real friends in the real world. Why settle for a boring group chat when you can enjoy a vibrant and intimate tasting?
Eat with both hands
Don’t ping me, I’m eating: When both hands are occupied, you won’t be tempted to check Instagram (even if your plate is pretty enough to adorn your feed). At Cass Winery, the fabulous wine is only rivaled by the fantastic food. A chef-prepared menu of juicy burgers, fresh salads and the most epic crispy crab cakes you’ve ever cracked a fork into are calling your name now. Belly up to a patio table and allow the wine tasting to come to you. This is Paso personality served with French DNA. What else could possibly tear you away from this delicious moment? Well, besides dessert…
Pack a picnic
Screensaver be gone: When’s the last time you actually chased a butterfly? Was it childhood? An outdoor excursion is in order, and that’s an order. Unfurl your picnic blanket at Four Lanterns Winery, a scenic tasting room home to a sprawling green lawn. Known for serving top notch Paso Robles wines with a side of bountiful sunshine, this is your happy place, no doom scrolling allowed. Local cheeses, breads and olive oil are a fantastic snack savored under a clear blue sky (we tend to overpack too–no shame here). Bring the kids, bring Fido–this picnic is for everyone’s pleasure!
Enjoy the view
Like it in real life: Instead of figuring out how to capture that spectacular “Paso Robles Wine Country view” with the perfectly worded Facebook post, try to enjoy it with whomever you’re with. Ah, a novel idea, indeed! Of course, we’re all guilty of wanting to overshare a magical moment, but Paso Robles’ beauty soars beyond a mere pic. Why try? Clear your iCal and kick back at Oso Libre, where epic vineyard views roll on as far as the eye can see. When the fine wine is flowing and the Paso sunset is glowing, you’ll wonder why you ever cared about snapping that landscape in the first place. The only people who need to see this masterpiece are the friends you walked in with.
Be surprised (IRL)
Log in to the unexpected: In this digital age, it’s way too easy to over-research a trip before you go. At Anarchy Wine Co., over planning is out and in-the-moment joy is in. Forget trying to map out your entire wine tasting trip ahead of time and just enjoy the spontaneous beauty of Paso Robles Wine Country. One of the coolest parts? Paso Robles is full of winemaking rebels–folks that buck the status quo and ferment on their own terms. Get blissfully lost at Anarchy Wine Co., the perfect example of this rebellious spirit in action. No Yelp review could ever adequately describe just how happy your tastebuds will be when they stumble upon a brand new favorite. Happy wandering!
