Paso Robles

Paso Robles is a quaint little town filled with vineyards and cowboys. The locals are some the friendliest we've come across in California! We highly recommend staying here or at least visiting a few of the local wineries and restaurants. 


Activites:
  • We visited the EOS Estate vineyard which, according to our mothers, had excellent wine tasting. We went on a self-guided tour through the winery's testing lab station, the barrel storage room, and ended up on a balcony overlooking the vineyards. This winery has a Tuscan feel to it, and so does the rest of Paso Robles. View the winery's website.This town is not touristy at all, and we were treated as locals. 
Restaurants:
  • We had two recommendations to eat at McPhee's Grill, and we loved the food so much that we ate there two nights in a row! The menu includes a wide variety of food, from jambalaya to cedar planked salmon. The second night, we showed up about 30 minutes after they closed, but they went out of their way to make sure we had a great meal that night! The wonderful waitress from the night before was there and came to talk to us, as well as the owner's daughter. We felt so welcome and couldn't have asked for better service. Check out their website. 
  • For breakfast we went to Cowgirl CafĂ©. Here we met some very nice locals and enjoyed a delicious breakfast! They serve huge pancakes, crispy bacon, hash browns, and much more! It's not a fancy place, it's just a casual, friendly, home-style restaurant. View their website.
