But don’t make the mistake of assuming that wine tasting in Paso Robles is the only option for booze loving tourists. Even my know-it-all local husband was shocked to discover that there’s so much more than just wineries in Paso Robles! There’s also a plethora of Paso Robles distilleries, serving up spirits related to wine – such as grappa, vodka and brandy, all made from wine grapes – craft distilled side by side with Rhone varietal grapes like Syrah or classic California stars like Zinfandel.

Simply put, Paso Robles is a booze traveler’s dream destination. Here’s our guide to boozing it up in Paso Robles: everything from wine tasting to spirit distilleries, and craft breweries.
