Incredible stays ranging from cozy vineyard cottages to plush resorts, surprisingly close proximity to the ocean, lots of exciting events and divine dining options—I mean, what’s not to love? FOMO (the fear of missing out) is all too real these days. Here’s five ways to avoid that dreaded feeling in Paso Robles Wine Country right now. Think of us as your gorgeously grown-up summer camp!
Stay lavishly
A better way to stay: Whether you are seeking intimate vibes or a rocking party pad, you’ll find a range of incredible vacation rentals in Paso Robles Wine Country. From crackling fire-pits and barbecues you and your friends can gather around to gorgeous pools and spa services, you’ll never worry about staying in a humdrum hotel here. Simply click over to the handy Paso Robles Vacation Rentals website and find your dream stay. You can also plan to check into a local winery, a fun idea for couples and small groups. Located at Cass Winery, the Geneseo Inn is a luxury boutique hotel that combines fresh design and incredible scenery. Nestled along Paso’s gently rolling hills, you’ll breathe in Cass’s stunning vineyard views (all 145 acres of them)! Constructed from industrial shipping crates, this refreshingly modern stay is perched high above the vineyard and includes a delicious breakfast prepared by Cass’s executive chef. From fresh-picked herbs courtesy of the winery’s onsite Chef Gardens to private massage and yoga sessions, there’s a million reasons to up-level your accommodations. Looking for even more adventure? Check out Geneseo Inn’s Cass Camp experiences. You might just find yourself horseback riding into the sunset!
Fresh air outings: With more than 250 tasting rooms to choose from and plenty of outdoor tasting areas included in that number, Paso’s bucolic surroundings come standard. This summer, enjoy our famously fresh air, sweet birdsong and signature sunny skies all while delving into dozens of delicious varieties. Located off scenic Vineyard Drive in Paso Robles, Brecon Estate is a picture-perfect summer oasis, to be sure. Kick back with a glass of awesome albarino or perhaps take up a rousing game of corn hole. Another Paso-area winery with scenery that rivals the wine? Chateau Margene, nestled in rustic Creston. Reserve a sunny tour and tasting and learn just how Paso terroir translates into top tier wine. Strolling through verdant vineyards with oak-studded hills beyond—could there be a better backdrop for an epic summer outing?
Coastal vibes:When you think of Paso Robles wine country, you might not think of the Pacific Ocean. Did you know that we’re only a few miles away from the Central Coast’s glittering coastline? Simply cruise along Paso’s celebrated Highway 46 West Highway for a scenic route that summer dreams are made of. Flanked with incredible wineries, you’ll find tantalizing tasting rooms all along the way. One great stop along Highway 46 West in Paso? Donati Family Vineyard, a long time favorite among locals and travelers alike. You might be surprised to find that this tasting room is located less than 20 miles from the beach! Home to outstanding Donati Family Wines and Bear + Prophet Spirits, you’ll find plenty of worthy bottles to enjoy when you reach the sea. Yes—only in Paso can you travel from vineyard to sand. Want to dive into Donati Family Wines before taking the plunge? Check out the winery’s nifty flavor profile quiz. If only all summer plans could be this easy-breezy.
Don’t miss a moment: Summer in Paso Robles Wine Country begs visitors to mingle, giggle and socialize with new friends. Throw your cares to the wind and check out all of Paso Robles’ diverse events kicking off all summer long. Industrial park-turned-epicurean epicenter Tin City is ground zero for sizzling shindigs this time of year. While checking out the array of wine, craft beer, culinary and cider offered at this hip hub, be sure to stop by Anarchy Wine Co., a rebellious tasting room that’s all about serving bold blends that break the rules. Another awesome locale for non-stop summer intrigue? Cass Winery, which blends French winemaking with Paso hospitality. From educational sommelier classes created to help anyone hone their wine tasting skills to a mouthwatering Surf and Turf winemaker dinner (Friday, June 23) and live music courtesy of the winery’s groovy Barrel Room Concert Series, you can expect a summer season to remember.
Make room for summer flavor: If you’re not eating all (I repeat, all) of Paso’s sensual summer produce, you’re missing out, period. Paso Robles Wine Country is famous for friendly farmer’s markets, artisanal farmers and—of course—farm-to-table cuisine. Be sure to hit Paso’s famous farmers market, which kicks off each Saturday morning at Downtown City Park. Chances are, you’ll rub elbows with one of the area’s local “celebrity” chefs. Just steps from this market, you’ll find elevated Mexican fare at Fish Gaucho, pub grub at Pappy McGregor’s and many other stellar restaurants utilizing the best of summer’s bounty. This summer, be sure to savor Paso’s ripest heirloom tomatoes, summer squash, avocados, peppers, stone fruit and berries! Paired with award winning Paso wine, cold craft beer and cocktails, you’re in for a decadent meal that smacks of summer’s juiciest offerings.
