SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
AS STEWARDS OF THE LAND, our vineyards and wineries
continually strive to be sustainable. The wine industry
cultivates sustainable practices on local, state and federal
levels. A number of highly reputable organizations play a
vital role in developing sustainable practices.*
Here in the Paso Robles AVA we have the local advantage of
having the Central Coast Vineyard Team in our own backyard.
As such, many Paso Robles wineries are SIP™ certified
through this esteemed organization.
The Sustainability in Practice (SIP)™ Certification program
recognizes a vineyard’s commitment to environmental
stewardship, equitable treatment of employees, and
economic stability. While many consumers are dedicated to

In order to make the most of your perfect Paso Robles Wine Country
getaway it is important that you plan ahead. While spontaneity is
encouraged, below are a few tips and tricks to help you plan your
next visit to Paso.
Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance Event Weekends – It is highly
recommended that you plan in advance when attending special events in
Paso Robles. Refunds are not given after you purchase tickets so make
sure that you plan ahead.
EVENT WEEKEND CHECKLIST
Make hotel accommodations up-to one year in advance.
Purchase marquee event tickets two months in advance at pasowine.com.
Plan your itinerary for the weekend. Wineries host various special events
throughout the weekend. Be sure to book your selected activities in advance.
Book Lodging Accommodations in Advance – This is important, especially
when you are planning for a three day weekend or an event weekend, as Hotels,
Motels, Guest Cottages, Inns and Bed & Breakfasts fill up fast. See the Visitor’s
Guide for a list of accommodations.
Plan for the Weather – Paso Robles often experiences warm days and cool
nights during the months of May – October. Beginning in November, the weather
will begin to cool down and much needed rain will begin to fall and nourish the
vines. Remember that barrel rooms and cellars are temperature controlled, so
bring a sweater; even in mid July!
Hydrate Yourself – Drink plenty of water! You will be doing a lot of walking and the
weather can be quite warm, especially in the summer months.
Make an Appointment for a Tour – Call 24 - 48 hours in advance to set
up a special tour and tasting. This will make your visit unforgettable! Most
wineries, vineyards and tasting rooms will accommodate you and this is highly
recommended when you have groups of seven or more.
Taste the Town – Be sure to complement the wine you taste by visiting one of
the many restaurants and specialty shops found in this brochure. Tantalize your
taste buds with dinner, hors d’oervres, dessert, or take home specialty items to
share with your family and friends. See the Visitor’s Guide for a list of restaurants
and specialty shops.
Transportation – Always remember to designate a driver or plan for tour
transportation, limo or a taxi to take you through Paso Robles Wine Country.
See the Visitor’s Guide for a list of touring companies.
Remember the 4 Ss of Responsible Tasting – Swirl, Smell, Sip and Spit. This
method is great way to sample a lot of different wines and will also allow you to
enjoy and taste your wine during lunch and dinner.
