6 Can't Miss Couples Attractions

Wildflowers

Every spring Paso Robles’ rolling landscape is literally blanketed in vibrant colors. Occurring every spring after the winter rains, Paso’s wildflower superbloom paints the hills in a patchwork sea of purples, yellows, oranges and pinks. Just a minutes drive from downtown, and you and yours can be picnicking and posing among the miles and miles of these posies, which include baby blue eyes, goldfields, mustard, owl’s clover, California poppies, tidy tips and purple vetch. While you can spy these pops of color sparsely throughout the landscape around Paso, you'll find the most awe-inspiring display to the east off Shell Creek Road. Starting in Creston, head south toward Route 58, all long the way there are plenty of pull-off points to take in this stunning springtime phenomenon.

LIGHT AT SENSORIO

Created by acclaimed British artist, Bruce Munro, Sensorio is the perfect nighttime spectacular featuring a sea of lights spread across 15 rolling acres. Designed with 60,000 stemmed glass spheres lit by fiber optic, solar-powered cables, the massive experiential art installation creates a stunning and walkable experience. Beginning April 15 couples will be able to experience an entirely new, adjacent viewing area featuring Munro’s Light Towers. The new Light Towers was created to celebrate Paso Robles wine country, and features 69 towers composed of more than 17,000 wine bottles illuminated with glowing optic fibers whose colors morph to a musical score. At Sensorio, you can walk through the installations, have a cocktail of glass of wine, or treat yourself to the VIP experience, which gives you access to a terrace lined with cozy couches and fire pits that overlook the exhibits.

Cruise Vineyard Drive

As the name implies, Vineyard Drive is a back road adventure among undulating vineyards and tucked-away wineries. As you make your way down the sleepy two-lane road shaded by towering oak trees city life and stress fade away – and your palate awakens.

Mountains Touch the Sea

In the last few miles of 46 West, you can view the Santa Lucia Coastal Mountain Range cascading down to the sea. Soak in this majestic descent at several designated overlooks along the route (you can’t miss them). Prepared to be awestruck as you look out on the massive hills slinking into the curved coastlines of Morro Bay and Cayucos and the big blue slate of the Pacific. The vantage point is so high the roaming cattle below on the grassy hillsides appear as black specks.

LUNCH IN THE VINEYARDS

Along this inspiring 15-mile corridor to the beaches -- and Highway 1, home of Hearst Castle -- sit some of Paso’s premier wineries with full-service restaurants, including Barton's Kitchen at Grey Wolf Cellars and Niner...

Dining

Amazing chefs have long been drawn to Paso Robles for its world-class wine and prized local farms. As a result, you can dine like a king or queen at every meal -- with plenty of alfresco options.
