It’s a shame that once we graduate from school, the concept of “Spring Break” tends to fly out the window. Why should those darn kids have all the fun? I mean, when was the last time the Easter Bunny passed by your neighborhood and gave you a second glance? Adults need to let loose too. With romantic vineyard stays, unique vacation rentals, and sophisticated RV resorts galore, Paso Robles Wine Country should be your Spring Break 2019 destination, to be sure. Raise a glass to adventure (and that ankle tattoo you got in Cancun back in 1995). These are your vacation days we’re talking about here. Use them wisely!
1. Book a Cozy Bed and Breakfast
Staycation with the best of them. Each room at Eden House at Carriage Vineyards is named after a well-known Paso Robles wine varietal, and each suite features its own unique flavor, too. The Grenache Suite includes two rooms and can sleep four, great for a family outing or fun wedding weekend with the girls. Looking for a romantic stay for you and your sweetie? The Viognier Suite is perfect for rekindling romance one sip at a time. Featuring a king sized bed, oversized shower (with deep soaking tub), and a pair of picture-perfect window seats overlooking a view of the orchard, vineyard, and garden, you’ll feel like you’re on a second honeymoon. Of course, all guests are privy to fabulous Paso Robles Wines at all times (the bed and breakfast is located on a working vineyard and ranch). With all these pluses, why would you ever need to step foot off the property? You don’t have to.
2. Park it for RV Pleasure
Rev up and roll out. You bought that RV years ago so you could go on exciting adventures, right? Well, Spring Break 2019 is your time to make a break for it and really make good on that promise. Fire up your home-away-from home and park at a truly luxurious destination in scenic Paso Robles Wine Country. Cava Robles RV Resort, Vines RV Resort, and Wine Country RV Resort are located conveniently near all the best wine tasting stops—plus, each stay has its own unique allure. Pet-friendly Cava Robles RV Resort features a swanky pool, fab bistro, and even a wellness center (you’ve got to see it to believe it).
3 . Find Calm at the Cottage
Set up that email vacation reply and make a beeline for the door. Unplug, unwind and unburden yourself from daily to-dos at Peachy Canyon Guest Inn. On the hill above Peachy Canyon Winery, nestled among nearly 50 acres of vines, you’ll find Canyon Inn at Mustang Springs. The house features two bedrooms, two and a half baths, living room, family room and insane panoramic views you’d be tempted to post on social media (if you hadn’t so completely and thoroughly unplugged). A full kitchen and dining area makes for a relaxing and rejuvenating visit, whether you’re looking to reconnect with family or inspire your business team to reach for the stars. This place sleeps six and features a barbecue patio area, so be sure to bring your favorite bottle of barbecue sauce!
4. Get Back to Old World Luxury
Who says old school can’t keep up with the modern world? The Inn at Opolo, located just a stone’s throw from the popular winery and tasting room, straddles both modern convenience and Old World charm with ease. Treat yourself to the ultimate Paso Robles wine country experience—and get your nosh on—at The Inn at Opolo Vineyards, where made-to-order breakfasts are the norm. Guests enjoy luxurious, spacious rooms and all of the sensory pleasures of Paso Robles all in one destination. These rooms are far from basic, boasting crackling fireplaces, soaking tubs, showers and complimentary wine and appetizers each afternoon. That’s enough to get even the most stressed out among us to hit “book.”
5. Book a Stay as Unique as You Are
Because you’re not like anyone else. We’ve done away with the concept of one-size-fits-all vacations, so why should your Paso Robles Wine Country stay be any different? Wield full control (and maximum flexibility) when you book this spring at PasoRoblesVacationRentals.com. Browse dozens of privately owned vacation rental listings based on your specific preferences. Whether you seek a chill one bedroom abode with a pool, or a five-bedroom castle complete with Tuscan architecture, you choose what works for your stay. With intimate bungalows teetering atop majestic hillsides to wrap-around-porches where you can sit and take in a 360-degree vineyard view, we promise you’ll feel right at home wherever you roam.
6. Dream Big at Lekai Ranch
Wake up to your own storybook dream at Lekai Ranch. Luxuriate in a tranquil, quiet and very private suite, where you can sip coffee on the porch and soak in the vineyard view. What view, you ask? We’re talking about an expansive vista encompassing Big Sur, the back of historic Hearst castle and endless oak studded hills. At night, the sky twinkles with millions of stars. Relax into a comfortable Cal-King Tempurpedic bed (there’s three twin beds, too, if you feel like bringing the kids), or travel just 15 minutes to downtown Paso Robles dining. Consider this your own enchanted cottage, where deer can be seen grazing on the hillsides, and if you’re lucky, you’ll spot a wild turkey or even a feral pig, no doubt an escapee from Hearst’s living menagerie. Yes, your happily ever after starts here.
