Paso Robles California The next great wine country |
Paso
Robles was named for its local oak trees, El Paso de Robles: The
Pass of the Oaks. Today the Paso Robles area has over 100 wineries.
Visitors come from all over California to experience this Central
California wine region. .Paso Robles wines have proven consistent
gold medal winners and have been featured regularly in the top
rankings of national and international wine reviews. For the outdoor
enthusiast there is horseback riding, Lake Nacimiento and San
Antonio, golf, hiking, and mountain biking. A 30 minute drive
brings you to the central coast towns of Cambria and Morrow Bay.
Once a classic ranching town Paso Robles is turning into an upscale
central California wine county destination.

The wide-open roads
and picturesque vineyards of Paso Robles are the perfect recipe
for a memorable
cycling excursion. Avid cyclists will enjoy the 39-mile Vineyard
Drive Loop that winds through rugged westside wine country, while
others will appreciate the gentler 21-mile Star Farms Loop. Wine
tasting and picnic facilities are found along most local cycling
routes. Cruising around downtown is also a favorite pastime. There’s
a reason why the Great Western Bicycle Rally has called Paso Robles
home for 34 years.
Paso Robles Wine Country is one of the fastest growing premium vineyard and
winery regions in California, with the number of bonded wineries and vineyards
in the area of Paso Robles more than doubling between 1993 and 2002. It is the
location of the Paso Robles American Viticultural Area. More than 25 different
varieties of grapes are grown in the Paso Robles Wine Country and there are
over 250 bonded wineries.
