Paso Robles – or simply “Paso” as the locals call it – is home to rolling hills, vast olive orchards and majestic oak trees. Here, individuals can enjoy a wealth of exciting outdoor adventures and fun attractions along with a rich diversity of food and wine offerings. From bicycling and horseback riding to golfing and zip lining, Paso Robles offers endless activities for outdoor enthusiasts. With its numerous sun-filled days and coastal air flowing through the “Templeton Gap” in the Santa Lucia Mountains, visitors are able to enjoy the great outdoors in Paso year-round.

Paso’s renowned culinary scene – sustained by local farmers and artisan producers – is another popular draw. Utilizing the flourishing agricultural industry and farmers’ markets, the area’s talented chefs create fresh, innovative cuisine. Featuring more than 250 wineries and an abundance of tasting rooms, Paso is also an ideal destination for wine-lovers. Whether embarking on a memorable jeep wine tour or sharing a meal with a local winemaker, visitors will fall in love with Paso Robles Wine Country.
