Paso Robles Wine Region

Wine tours in this region, where cowboys chew Cabernet; Paso Robles is now one of the fastest growing wine region in California and is now home to over 100 wineries with vineyards dotting the oak-lined rolling hills of Paso Robles Wine County. Paso, (as the locals call it), boasts the warmest climate on the Central Coast and is home to our BIG reds; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah & Zinfandel to name a few. The Paso Robles area has a rich history of winemaking and grape growing, beginning in 1797 at the historic Mission San Miguel Archangel.

Here, a day of wine touring begins with a scenic drive along un-crowded rural country roads. Discover small family-owned wineries where you're greeted with genuine warmth and treated like old friends. Chat with the winemakers, enjoy a picnic on winery grounds, and sample finely-crafted, premium award-winning wines. You'll discover what makes Paso Robles Wine Country distinct, different.

Paso Robles is the most popular destination for our Mobile Meetings from the San Joaquin Valley or points north. A stones throw away from the HearstCastle. It is also the ideal region for a Combo Tour for our larger groups requiring ground transportation and group management.
