The Next Wine Country
A Small town goes upscale – Paso Robles
Peter Fish & Sara Schnieder (Sunset Magazine)
Drive the back roads remember why you love California. Cattle graze the hills, there are
wide-spreading Oaks and in between the oaks and pastures are the vineyards.
Ride and Wine
Audrey Pavia (The Horsetrader Magazine)
Ranches, horses, wineries, cattle, oaks, historic downtown Paso Robles paint the landscape.
A region rich in history, viticulture, ranches, cattle and of course, horses. There remains a stamp
of their western legacy throughout the area. Horse property is available and far more affordable when compared with other parts of California. Paso Robles Mid State Event center hosts equine actives throughout the year.
V6 Ranch in nearby Parkfield offers trail rides on their 20,000 acre ranch. North County Trails
Association is working to developing an official trail system through the community of Paso.

Victor Namkung (C California Style magazine)
“The quaint region of Paso Robles is luring visitors from across the country with its premium
grapes, posh accommodations and gourmet fare. A picturesque, Victorian-era town with big
city sophistication; Paso Robles delivers.”
With grape growing conditions resembling France’s Rhone River Valley, Paso, as locals call
it, is blooming with five-star hotels, restaurants helmed by French chefs and charming
neighborhood shops.

A Tale of Two Wine-centric Cities
Healdsburg & Paso Robles
Janis Switzer (Wine Notes)
“The similarities are immediate once you enter the central downtown.”
Tree-lined streets around the city park, the feel is quite the same. The shops,
restaurants and tasting rooms are small, intimate, inviting.
Healdsburg is about 75 miles north of San Francisco, flanked by the Russian River,
Alexander Valley and the Dry Creek Valley wine regions; about 100 wineries in a 20 mile
radius.
Paso Robles is equal distance between San Francisco and Los Angeles, a 4 hour drive
30 miles inland from the coast and historic Hearst Castle with wineries in every direction,
over 200 from which to choose.
Downtown park squares bordered by restaurants, shops and wine tasting rooms
Paso Robles offers a wide selection of accommodations from country B&B’s, the
boutique Hotel Cheval located almost on the town square, historic Paso Robles Inn and
choice of many other hotels & motels.
