Paso Robles Wine Country
Big reds and rolling hills.
Paso Robles is California wine country without the Napa crowds: oak-dotted hills, more than 200 wineries known for Cabernet and Rhône blends, and a friendly downtown square of tasting rooms and restaurants. Land at the municipal airport, see the Estrella Warbirds Museum on the field, stay at a vineyard resort, spend the day tasting with a driver, walk through Sensorio’s field of light at night and drive over the hills to Hearst Castle.
