Envision yourself sitting down to enjoy a lovely glass of wine with a view of beautiful rolling hills to the east and the Santa Lucia Coastal Range to your west. A region that dates back to the pre-mission era when the Salinas Indians recognized the healing powers of the springs.
On March 11, 1889 the city of Paso Robles was officially incorporated as El Paso de Roblas. It took 24 years for the El Paso de Robles (name changed in November of 1889) to gain electricity and have its first vineyard planted.
Today, Paso Robles boasts more than 200 wineries, gourmet restaurants, distilleries and an upbeat and expanding downtown experience. Lodging options include full-service resorts, vineyard estates, tiny homes and even luxury RV properties. We even have the first San Luis Obispo County eatery to earn a coveted Michelin Guide star! All of this located on the beautiful central coast equidistant between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
I am honored to be hosting November’s #WinePW chat spotlighting Paso Robles. Our group will be pairing some delicious meals with their choice of Paso wine. This is going to be a great event since the Pasobilities are endless. Paso has so many options to choose from; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, both Rhone and Bordeaux Blends and of course my beloved Cabernet Franc. Which will you choose to pair your meal with?
