Paso Wine Fest — a 3-day weekend in Paso Robles

15–17 May. 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

    Paso Wine Fest

    Festival day — arrive early to avoid the lunchtime crowd. Insider tip: The Paired Paso dinner on Friday is an intimate winemaker experience that sells out first. Book accommodation in downtown Paso Robles — it transforms into a walkable wine hub during festival weekend.

  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
