Paso Robles
Home to over 300 wineries, Paso easily holds its own against Napa or Sonoma, minus the fuss (and expense) of its neighbors to the north. There are now a handful of breweries, distilleries, and cidermakers to discover, too! Before you go, be sure to check with each winery for COVID-19 protocols and reservations, if needed. There are a few tasting rooms in the downtown area, but most of the wineries are spread out in the Paso’s rolling hills. You will probably want to nominate a designated driver or, better yet, hire a driver for the day.

Tablas Creek Vineyard
@katherine
Established in 1989 in partnership with a family of French winemakers, Tablas helped place Rhône varietals on California’s map. Tablas also has a particularly wide selection of white wines. Look out for livestock— Tablas relies on sheep and alpacas for fertilizing and weed control, making it a biodynamic vineyard.

Dubost Winery
@katherine
This small, family-owned winery produces fantastic wine. Tastings are an off-the-beaten-path delight, and chances are good that owner Kate Dubost will be on hand to tell you the stories behind her wines.
