About Paso Robles

A laid-back city in central California, Paso Robles sits almost halfway between San Franciso and Los Angeles, and just 30 minutes from trendy coastal Cambria. Originally popular for its hot springs and now a highly regarded winemaking region, Paso Robles offers a broad range of accommodation options, including contemporary inns and luxurious boutique hotels. Many of the best places to stay in Paso Robles are nestled amidst picturesque vineyards - some on working wineries - offering a brilliant chance to savour top Californian wines in style.

Boasting a Mediterranean climate and fertile soil, Paso Robles is known for producing more than 60 grape varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Grenache, Syrah, Viognier, and Zinfandel. There are 250+ wineries in the area, many of which offer tours and tastings -- as well as rooms for guests eager to stay that little bit longer. Wine is not the region's only produce, however: you'll find some excellent olive oil, beers and spirits, too. Don't miss the chance to visit an olive oil farm and pick up a bottle or two!

Beyond winetasting, Paso Robles also provides ample cultural entertainment. Admire impressive sculptures in the gardens of Sculpterra Winery or pick up a piece from the open-air Studios on the Park, where local artists create and sell their work. Visit the Paso Robles Pioneer Museum for an insight into the area's history and take the kids to Paso Robles Children's Museum or to the epic Ravien Waterpark. There's golf, cycling, scenic walks and horse riding arond Paso Robles for adventurous travellers, too. Unwind with superb spa treatments and private spring-water tubs at the River Oaks Hot Springs before kicking off your evening at the terrific bars and restaurants clustered around City Park. Music lovers will adore the eclectic programme of live events -- look out for the Vina Robles Amphitheatre, where numerous big-name artists have performed.

Brilliant for both wine and culture, this is a hugely popular destination. Many of the best places to stay in Paso Robles are small, intimate hideaways with just a few rooms, so book your stay well in advance to avoid missing out!
