Festival weekend planner

Harvest Wine Month Paso Robles — a 3-day weekend in Paso Robles

17–19 October. Paso Robles, United States. 30 min from the airport.

The weekend, day by day

  1. Day 1

    Arrive in Paso Robles

    Land at San Luis Obispo County Regional (SBP), settle in and walk the old town in the afternoon. Light dinner near your accommodation — save your appetite for the festival day.

  2. Day 2

    Harvest Wine Month Paso Robles

    Festival day — arrive early to avoid the lunchtime crowd. Insider tip: The western hills area wineries (Tablas Creek, Adelaida, Halter Ranch) are spectacular in fall light and tend to draw smaller crowds than downtown-adjacent estates.

  3. Day 3

    Wine country day in Paso Robles

    Use the third day for a single winery visit (booked ahead) and a long lunch at one of the regional addresses below before heading home.

Where to stay

Three angles for the festival window. Festival hotels book out 6+ months in advance — apartments are the contingency when the main shortlist is sold out.

Booking.com links — we may earn a commission. We never recommend hotels we wouldn't use ourselves.

Where to eat

Thomas Hill Organics

$$$

Downtown Paso Robles farm-to-fork restaurant with local wine list and seasonal California cuisine

Must try: Oak-smoked barbecue
