Reflections from the Road: The Paso Robles Grand Tasting Tour

This past weekend I traveled Southward to sunny San Diego along with a menagerie of representatives from over forty different Paso Robles wineries for the Paso Robles Grand Tasting Tour.

This event, organized by the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance (PRWCA), is our way of bringing the fun and the sense of community of Paso Robles wine country directly to wine lovers scattered throughout the great state of California.  There are two other upcoming Paso Robles Grand Tasting Tour events; one in Sacramento (April 19 - 20), and another in Palo Alto (April 21 -23).

If you have never made the journey here to Paso Robles wine country (seriously, what are you waiting for?), these Grand Tasting Tour events are a great way for you to meet the many wonderful, friendly winemakers of Paso Robles, as well as receive a crash-course in the types of wine produced here in the Paso Robles AVA.

I actually went to these events to pour on behalf of Silver Horse Winery (I am a woman who wears many hats).  This was my first "out of town" tasting event, and I have to say, I loved every minute of it.  The people of San Diego were friendly and enthusiastic, not to mention eager to learn about the wines we produce here in Paso Robles.

Of course, the best way to experience Paso Robles in all of its glory is to actually COME here, and right now is a perfect time to do so.  In this month alone, we have several exciting events lined up: The Pacific Coast Cutting Horse Association Derby (March 7 - 14 at the Paso Robles Event Center), Zinfandel Festival (March 19 - 21), and many more.

Also, many of our beautiful Paso Robles hotels and bed and breakfasts have lodging discounts and specials right now - so there's no excuse not to stop by and pay us a visit!
