The Ultimate Coastal Wine Experience

January 31, 2025
Embrace the Fun in Wine
In Paso Robles Wine Country, we believe wine should be fun. And our winemakers like to honor tradition while having a little fun with the blending process. Think a classic Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre (GSM) mixed with a little Carignan, or perhaps a Syrah with Viognier… these are just a couple of the creative combinations you can find at BlendFest on the Coast.
BlendFest on the Coast is a place for both the wine-curious and the seasoned wine tasters to gather and enjoy the creativity behind the glass. Taste inspiring wine blends from Paso Robles wineries and even make your own at one of the fun wine events throughout Paso Robles BlendFest on the Coast weekend, February 20-23, 2025.
