Vina Robles Amphitheatre

At the forefront of producing quality wines, offering outstanding hospitality experiences, and operating a state-of-the-art winemaking facility is Vina Robles Vineyards & Winery. So, it was only natural for them to combine exceptional wine with live music on a grander scale. In the summer of 2017, Vina Robles Amphitheatre (VRA) opened as the largest outdoor venue for arts and entertainment in San Luis Obispo County. Featuring a style reminiscent of the California missions, concertgoers are able to immerse themselves in a unique and intimate performance adventure as they enjoy modern amenities and first-class hospitality. The concert season runs from mid-April through November and features top tier acts from around the world in all genres. Various seating options all within 150 feet from the stage, including regular, VIP and general admission lawn seating, make events accessible to anyone in the community. VRA is proud to be a zero-waste facility and offers multiple concession options including the Plaza Bistro & Bar, Suendero Bar, and the Terrace Club.

Local tour operators, including Toast Tours, offer wine country transportation and can help arrange a ride to and from a Vina Robles Amphitheatre show, worth checking current availability directly with them when you’re planning a concert night.

If you are in town and there isn’t a show happening at the Amphitheatre check-out the Vina Robles Saturday Live, featuring a different local entertainer every Saturday during their outdoor entertainment season.

Nestled in an 80-acre boutique vineyard is the stunning winery, tasting, and event venue of Rava Wines + Events. This is the place for celebrations and live entertainment! Once home to a working horse ranch, Rava’s vibe is that of California cowboy paired with an old-world villa. They’ve got just the spot for an intimate ceremony by the lake, a celebration in the olive grove or courtyard, and a ballroom for corporate gatherings plus a luxury overnight villa.

Let’s get into the entertainment! Rava is one of Paso’s premier entertainment venues. The high-tech indoor concert space can host up to 1,000 guests for an up-close and intimate music experience. With moderate Central Coast weather year-round, Rava also has a contemporary outdoor venue adjacent to the tasting room.
