Paso's Romantic Side

Forget the flowers and candy for Valentine's Day this year -- grab your sweetheart and head to Paso Robles for a unique, romantic getaway, and create memories that will last much longer than those heart-shaped boxes of candy will.  This year especially, Paso Robles is greener and more beautiful than ever, and Valentine's Day is the perfect time to grab a bottle of red wine and share the beauty of the Central Coast with someone special.

There are plenty of different events to suit anyone's interests.  Many of our premiere Paso Robles wineries are recruiting the talents of many of Paso Robles' finest chefs to host winemaker dinners in their beautiful tasting rooms and barrel rooms: Eberle, Cass, Mitchella, and Pomar Junction, just to name a few.   
If you're looking for an activity to fill your afternoon hours before heading back indoors and snuggling up with your sweet heart, there are tons of special tastings and events for you to choose from.   

On February 13, Eos Winery is hosting a Lover's blending seminar and luncheon where you and your partner can create the perfect blend for you to sip and share that day, or save it for your Valentine's Day dinner - many Paso Robles restaurants are serving up special "romance"-themed menus (fresh oysters and black truffles abound!).  On the sweeter side, First Crush Winemaking is teaming up with Roxo Port Cellars to host a port and chocolate wine appreciation class.  Guests will learn from winemaker Jeff Steele the difference between producing port wines and traditional table wines while munching on delicious artisan chocolates and cheeses at the beautiful Meritage Tasting Lounge in downtown Paso.

If wine isn't your thing, you can opt for a more traditional "date-night" activity and attend the annual Valentine's Movie Night at Park Cinema in downtown Paso Robles.  This year's film selection is "Send Me No Flowers", starring Rock Hudson and Doris Day.  Tickets are $12 a person, and include your choice of complimentary popcorn and soda or champagne and truffles.

And if this isn't enough to send your heart a-flutter, things just get even sweeter.  Some of Paso Robles' beautiful hotels are offering special lodging discounts right now, to make your lover's weekend as comfortable (and affordable!) as possible.  Whatever your budget and taste, we can accommodate!

This year, forgo the typical, shrink-wrapped Valentine's Day fare, and experience something unforgettable with that equally unforgettable someone in your life. A night to remember with your sweetheart will leave you saying "we'll always have Paso!"
