Paso Robles Wineries

We spent one day touring the wineries of Paso Robles, the newest  wine growing region of California. This area has acres and acres of vineyards and olive trees and pistachio orchards. Beautiful to look at…… and tasty products! With over 200 different wineries in this area, we could only hope for a small sampling…….

One of the wineries that we enjoyed touring was Sculpterra, which was unique in blending outdoor sculptures and art work with the business of wine making…..starting with this elaborate iron work gate.

Sculpterra had beautiful gardens……

After a wine tasting at Sculpterra, we went to another winery for a lunch of crab cakes.

Next, we stopped by the Eberle Winery for a tour of their underground caves where they store their wine.

We enjoyed discovering a few new wines, and loved touring this area which may one day be as well known for their wines as the Napa Valley………..
