Paso Robles vs Bordeaux from wine

Experience a relaxing slice of California’s wine country

Rich in cultural history and tranquil landscapes, Paso Robles is a laid-back gem of California’s world-famous wine country. Here, you can savor boutique wines, enjoy true farm-to-table dining, relax in natural hot springs and take a day-long bike ride through rolling vineyards under the brilliant California sun. This idyllic city full of small-town charm is halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, making it both ideally located and a destination all its own.

Once called the Almond Capital of the World, Paso Robles has a long tradition of farm-fresh flavors. Four weekly farmers’ markets sell the region’s freshest fare including the Templeton Farmers Market, known for its deeply passionate vendors selling everything from local grapes to just-baked bread. Wine grapes were first introduced to the region in the 18th century. Book a vineyard tour and tasting at Niner Wine Estates, where you’ll see a distinctive heart-shaped grove that gave their Heart Hill Vineyard its name, or reserve a VIP tasting experience in a wine cave at Eberle Winery. For more artisan wine, along with cider, craft spirits and local food, check out the drinking-and-dining complex at Tin City.
