This is our favorite winery! If you are doing any wine tasting, we highly highly recommend you check out Torrin. Brian and I have been members for two years now and visit any time we are in Paso. Their relaxed vibes but incredible knowledge makes the tasting experience approachable and memorable. Not to mention delicous! Reservations are required.

The Hatch Rotisserie & Bar
The Hatch is a simple rotisserie and bar located just off the town square in beautiful downtown Paso Robles, fueled by wood fire, small batch whiskey, and a bustling atmosphere full of mingling locals and visitors. Brian and I still talk about our steak dinner! After, take a stroll down 13th Street and you’ll find an appealing mix of tasting rooms, boutiques, coffee shops, and live music on many weekend nights.
