Festival weekend planner
Paso Robles Harvest Celebration — a 3-day weekend in Paso Robles
11–12 October. Paso Robles, United States. 30 min from the airport.
The weekend, day by day
- 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.
- Day 2
Paso Robles Harvest Celebration
Festival day — arrive early to avoid the lunchtime crowd. Insider tip: The western hills are best explored by car with a designated driver — wineries are spread across beautiful rolling terrain. This event pairs perfectly with Opolo Vineyard's separate Harvest Weekend events.
