Savor Wine Country

Paso Robles is a winemaking oasis. With 40,000 acres of vineyards spanning from the Santa Lucia Mountain Range all the way to the Salinas River Valley, the extensive diversity of micro-climates throughout the area leads to a unique and diverse tasting profile. There are 60 different varietals grown throughout the region, including the iconic Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Syrah. Wines from Paso are known for being bold and fruit driven.

While many Old World wine regions are required to follow strict laws and guidelines, in the New World, and Paso Robles, we are blessed with unrestrained creativity. Therefore, you will find many unconventional blends coming from the region. You can try some iconic blends at JUSTIN Vineyards, Adelaida Vineyards, Cass Winery and DAOU Vineyards.

With 11 distinct sub-AVA’s, each viticultural area has unique growing and stylistic differences, leading to many different wine profiles and with over 300 wineries in Paso Robles, there’s plenty to choose from.

Many tasting rooms are nestled in the vineyards and offer tours, light bites and views into the cellar or caves.
