Aside from the wine and the weather, one of the best things about the Paso Robles region are the stunning views. Depending on where you are, you can experience some of the most breathtaking views of the Pacific coast as well as the mountains and valleys. These visions of beauty make for an incredible backdrop for wine tasting.

Thankfully, most of the wineries have outdoor tasting rooms that open up to the beauty that the region has to offer. While we truly believe that you can’t go wrong with experiencing a tasting at any of our amazing wineries, the views experienced from the ones below will take your breath away.

Paso Robles is located about halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco in San Luis Obispo County. While you can’t fly directly into Paso Robles, the drive into town from both LA and San Francisco is absolutely stunning if you take the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). You can however fly or take the train into San Luis Obispo, which is just a short drive south of Paso.

Taking the PCH to drive in will give you a glimpse into the beauty of the region, but it’s not until you get further inland, that you will truly experience the incredible scenic views of Paso Robles.

In addition to beautiful wineries, downtown Paso Robles provides that quaint small-town feel with the town square set in the center of local businesses, shopping,  and many restaurants.
