PASO ROBLES Wine Country is one of the fastest growing premium vineyard and winery regions in California, with the number of bonded wineries and wine grape acres in Paso Robles more than doubling between 1993 and 2002.
 Paso Robles is situated 20 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, literally halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and, because of this location, is in the center of the Central Coast wine region which spans from Monterey County to the north and to Santa Barbara County to the south.
Many different varieties of wine grapes are grown in Paso Robles, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot and Zinfandel representing 76% of the planted acreage and some forty-five other varieties making up the remainder. During the last 15 years plantings of Rhone varietals (including Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Viognier) increased significantly and is what the region is becoming known for.
One of my favorite and most frequent haunts due to the great wine, friendly people, lovely scenary and affordable prices. The city has exploded over the last few years adding four major hotels and a number of great restaurants, which makes it a lot nicer and easier to visit this region.
