Paso Robles area anyone?
My DH and I are going to Paso for a few days this September for our anniversary. He was born/raised there but we have never stayed there together. Any ideas of things to do that would give us the "local flavor"? We of course are looking for winery, food and entertainment recs too! TIA
Re: Paso Robles area anyone?
I would stay away from Eagle Castle- it is very busy and their wine is just so-so. The building is a giant castle though so you may enjoy stopping in. I would also stay away from JanKris. Their wine tastes like grape water. My friend does like their almond champagne though.
Have fun!
I feel like I'm following MrsRebecca around!
My favorite wineries include J. Lohr, Tobin James, Castoro Cellars, Laeticia (In arroyo grande south of Pismo), and Harmony Cellars (just south of Cambria). I also like Castoro Cellars, although I quit the wine club because they started shipping with FedEx instead of UPS.
You also need to go to the Willow Creek Olive Ranch, home of the Pasolivo olive oils! YUM! It's on the west side, kinda near the area where Justin is.
Food is a little more difficult because when i am there, I am all over the place! Taco De Mexico in Morro Bay is rad, and Robin's in Cambria is REALLY good. You might try on the Central CA Knot board - there were some Knotties/Nesties from the area on there not too long ago.

I hate the fact that I was the last person to respond in the old format and my post never made it here.
Short version: Paso isn't that exciting. Good wine, good food, a movie theatre, a bowling alley, and it's topped off by craptastic Wal-mart. Michael's at the Airport is yummy, as is Basil's. Air balloon rides.
San Miguel is 10 mins North. Dirty icky town. Lived there for a year. Cool Mission. Best place to view stars.
Paso will probably be pretty hot still in Sept. SLO has a more temperate climate.
Visit San Luis Obispo. College town. Novo's is kickass. Madonna Inn is interesting and has the best cake.
I also suggest Taco Temple in Morro Bay and the Cracked Crab in Pismo Beach.
I'm dying to know how her trip plans are turning out!

Instead of just ripping on my suggestions, just suggest a better restaurant.

i'm from Paso..There are many things to do in Paso, you just have to look around! Walking downtown, to eating at Basil's, going to the River Oaks Spa's, to golfing, to wine tasting! The beach is only 35 mins away.
I recommend going to firestone brew.. its right off of the 101.
