Your Guide to Luxury Experiences in Paso Robles

DAY 1

Check in to Allegretto before savoring an afternoon wine tasting followed by rooftop dinner and drinks at Tetto

Start your getaway on a high note by checking into Allegretto Vineyard Resort. No matter how far you’ve traveled, give yourself time to decompress and explore the resort grounds. Nestled among sloping vineyards, Allegretto offers a unique combination of secluded tranquility and close proximity to both downtown and wine routes. Check out Allegretto’s indulgent spa services and book a treatment or two to fully spoil yourself while you’re here. 

After you’ve settled in, head to your prebooked reservation at Booker Vineyard. Booker presents a laid-back luxury that is quintessentially Paso. Soak up the panoramic views while listening to your favorite albums and sip Booker’s award-winning wines. And bocce fans, rejoice! Booker has a private outdoor bocce lounge with vineyard views and bottle service available by reservation as well for a beautiful afternoon of wine country life. 

After sipping and bocce-ing at Booker, head into town to explore shops in downtown Paso Robles. From culinary gems to curated clothing, Paso Robles shopkeepers take pride in sourcing the best wares around. Take your time because dinner is just steps at away at Piccolo Hotel’s rooftop Tetto. This rooftop cocktail lounge and eatery is a local and visitor favorite with the best views of Paso Robles, cozy firepits, and fantastic menus for an elegant-casual evening out. 

DAY 2

Sip at DAOU before refreshing your palate with Paso’s olive oils and marveling at the lights of Sensorio

Start day two of your wine country adventure at one of Paso’s crown jewels, DAOU. Located high above in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles, DAOU has distinguished itself through Daniel Daou’s relentless pursuit of premier wines in a premier environment. Book a Discover DAOU Tasting Experience for a comprehensive overview of DAOU’s journey and the range of wines crafted there, or dive deeper with a Limited Edition Vertical Tasting to explore top rated wines Soul of a Lion and Mayote across multiple vintages. 

Make sure your taste buds remain in top condition by giving them a little break from alcohol with an Olive Oil Tasting. Paso Robles has become a renowned olive oil producer and it’s totally delightful to taste through the different types produced on neighboring farms. From light and zippy to rich and luxe, Paso’s range of olive oils are sure to inspire new culinary possibilities of your own. 

Keep the splendor going with dinner at Justin Vineyards & Winery. This Michelin-starred restaurant sources ingredients from its own 26-acre farmstead for the ultimate farm-to-fork dishes. The seasonally inspired menu reflects Chef Rachel Haggstrom’s inspired expertise, and the thoughtfully paired wines highlight just how magnificent the perfect pairing can be. 

Round out the stellar day with a VIP experience at Sensorio. Sensorio has become a top draw to Paso and celebrates the intersection of creative artistry and technological advancement. An All-Access Terrace Experience includes Field of Lights, DIMENSIONS, and more, as well as live entertainment and food and beverage options. Reflect on the day with a slow stroll through the displays or find a seat to take in the lights and artistry of Sensorio. 

DAY 3

Explore history at Halter Ranch and take a swing or two at Paso Robles Gold Club before sampling some spirits and indulging at Six Test Kitchen

Halter Ranch feels like the perfect way to start or end any visit to Paso because it embraces history while welcoming forward thinking farming techniques. That the wines are consistently wonderful is a bonus! The Halter Ranch property dates back to the 1800s and the Victorian Farmhouse still stands on the property. Today, Halter Ranch is grounded in organic and sustainable farming and maintains the vast majority of its property for wildlife conservation. But we’re really here for the wines and they’re all phenomenal. While you're there step into a classic Land Rover Defender and embark on a wine tour that takes you through rolling Paso Robles vineyards and the rich history of the Central Coast. 

It would be a shame to visit Paso without taking time to absorb the signature sunshine and there’s no better place to do it than at Paso Robles Golf Club. Book a round or two to soak up the greenery and light at the Central Coast’s premier course. Not a golf player? There’s no time like the present to become one and Paso Robles Golf Club has lessons available for newcomers. 

After the midday golf break, hit Paso’s Distillery Trail to taste through the non-wine creations of the area. The makers of Paso Robles never rest on their laurels and the growing swathe of distilleries proves it. From exquisite brandies to bracing gins, the distilleries around Paso will inspire you to stock your home bar for new-to-you cocktails. 

If there’s one perfect way to finish one perfect visit, it’s got to be at Six Test Kitchen. This teeny, twelve seat eatery has already earned a Michelin star and for good reason. Offering a twelve-course menu of small plates, Six Test Kitchen exalts how local ingredients can be transformed into sublime dishes. It is an unforgettable experience, and one that will have you rethinking what you thought wine country cuisine could be.
