Brighten the Holidays by Giving the Gift of Paso

Lock in your visit for 2021, or score some much-needed liquid cheer and treats for Christmas and New Year’s. Paso Robles has your “Nice” list covered.

Dec. 21, 2020 (Paso Robles, Calif.) – Paso Robles may be quiet right now, but we are still open for your future-planning – and cheer-spreading needs this season.

First on your “Nice” list should be you. After all, if you don’t care of yourself, you can’t help others. After this bonkers year, you deserve a break – and something to look forward to in 2021. And right now is the perfect time to start planning your next trip to Paso Robles. You can book your hotel, peruse your of dream vacation home, or secure your RV spot. You can also plan your winery visits, and scout out the menus of Paso’s award-winning restaurants. And don’t forget to reserve your tickets at Field of Light at Sensorio. We’ve also put together some of our favorite road trips that wind through Paso Robles’ awe-inspiring wine country, all featuring big-sky views and charming country roads. And while COVID-19 is still very real, from the beginning Paso Robles has been working non-stop to ensure our community and guests stay safe, so you can be confident and comfortable when you visit.

There’s still plenty of time to provide a taste of Paso. Here are a few of our favorites.

Hotel Deals: Most of Paso’s hotels and inns are currently offering an array of deals and specials for future travel. So, there has never been a better time to gift a wine country getaway – for someone special or yourself!

Wine: Paso may be short on sugar-plums (whatever those are), but we are long on wine, and there are so many ways to spread red, white and bubbly cheer for the holidays. For instance, you can have a case of your favorite wine delivered overnight, take part in a virtual tasting with a winemaker, or give the gift of a wine club membership at one of Paso’s wineries. With more than 250+ wineries, the options can seem dizzying. Thankfully, our friends at Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance have made it easy for you by gathering all the winery gift options, deals and special offers in one place at their Home with Paso Wine page.

Something Stronger, Perhaps? While wine has made Paso famous, we are also home to some of the most lauded craft distilleries in California. In fact, Paso boasts its own Craft Distillery Trail, home to such spirits producers as Re:Find, KroBar and Cal-Wise Spirits – all of which can deliver their potent potables to your door.

Dining Gift Cards: Thanks to our world-class wine, Paso boasts some of California’s best restaurants. And Paso Robles restaurants are still open and offering gift cards this season. It helps the bottom line and guarantees you a delicious meal when you finally visit.

The Sweet Stuff: There are so many Paso delicious treats that can be shipped fresh to your door. Some of our favorites for the holidays – and all year – include Brown Butter Cookie Co., where you can order a couple dozen of the ever-popular Original Cookie. Another must-try is the local’s favorite: Paso Almonds, which crafts arguably the best almond brittle on the planet.

Unique Last-Minute Gifts: From original and inspiring artworks for sale at Studios on the Park, to our city’s favorite home wares shop, General Store Paso, you’ll be sure to find that prefect gift for that special someone among Paso’s long list of independent, family-run retailers.
