Paso Robles Wine Country

Heading to and from San Simeon State park we drove through the Paso Robles Wine Country. This is a beautiful area and has more than 70 wineries and more than 200 vineyards. We drove through this area on highway 46 and there is a group of wineries on this stretch that have joined together to form a passport promotion. This passport promotion includes 17 wineries along highway 46. After you taste wines at the participating wineries they will stamp your wine passport, which is available at the wineries. Check out the passport promotion website to get more information. You can also check out their home page to get more information about the wineries on highway 46. This is a real nice area to drive through and stop at wineries along the way. Those who were not driving on our trip got to sample some wines at a few different wineries in Paso Robles Wine Country. We stopped at Bonny Doon Vineyard, Peachy Canyon, Castoro Cellars, and Mastantuono Winery. I have linked their websites to their names so check them out. Now, only being in California for three weeks, I would have to say that highway 46 is a real nice view with beautiful rolling hills and vineyards. At one section of highway 46 you can see the ocean and Morro Rock. I was not able to get any pictures since I was driving. It would have been difficult to get all of the stunning countryside into a picture.
