Wine Country
No other agricultural area in California advanced as rapidly as the Paso Robles American Viticultural Area. Paso Robles wine production began two centuries ago at Mission San Miguel Archangel.
But the boom in wine grape growing began in the late 1960's. When the vineyards started appearing east of Hwy. 101, at Estrella River Winery, now Meridian Vineyards and Eberle Vineyards. Then, new wineries blossomed on Paso Robles’ western mountains, under names like Adelaida, Castoro, Norman and Peachy Canyon, which impressed wine lovers with their rich red wines. At the same time, Justin Vineyards and Wild Horse won everyone over with their outstanding Bordeaux varietals and blends.
The last decade of the 20th century saw significant vineyard development in Paso Robles, which grew 72 percent. Again, it was the most dramatic increase of any American Viticultural Area according to the San Francisco marketing firm Gomberg, Fredrikson and Associates.
Paso Robles now boasts over 26,000 acres of wine grapes, 170 wineries, and more than 100 tasting rooms.
So we invite you to visit, relax, and tour our breathtaking wine country.
