Paso Robles
Paso Robles is a well-known, world-class wine region with 40,000 acres of vineyards that will amaze you with its rich agriculture, restaurants, stunning views, and one-of-a-kind outdoor activities. Explore the Pioneer Museum and the world-famous Hearst Castle and be prepared to get a little tipsy after visiting wineries, craft breweries, and artisan distilleries. The Paso Robles Downtown Wine District alone has over 20 Wine Tasting Rooms. By the way, the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance is a fantastic resource for planning your wine tasting adventure.
If you're not a wine drinker, Paso Robles has you covered as well! With locally brewed beers and spirits such as limoncello, grappa, and whiskey! Join the Paso Robles Distillery Trail or visit Tin City, an industrial-looking neighborhood with microbreweries, boutique wines, and an ice cream parlor. Enjoy the great outdoors by horseback riding through the vineyards with Central Coast Trailrides, boating or fishing at Lake Nacimiento, golfing at Castoro Cellars, ziplining, and other activities. Visit Studios on the Park to find your inner artist and get the perfect shot in front of the Paso Robles mural wall.
It packs a lot of flavor for such a small town. Some of the wineries have full-service restaurants, and while in downtown Paso Robles, try Buona Tavola (a local favorite), have brunch at the Steakhouse at the Paso Robles Inn, visit Fish Gaucho, or grab a delicious hot sandwich at Red Scooter deli. Try their Rubenesque or Tuna Melt with a fresh salad to share and enjoy a picnic in the city park across the street. There is a wide range of cuisines to satisfy your every craving, from Thai to French to local Californian cuisine.
