Welcome to Paso Robles

 
A historic city in the heart of Central Coast Wine Country.
 
Paso Robles is a historic city in the heart of San Luis Obispo County wine country. Spanish conquistadors and Franciscan missionaries first grew grapes on Paso Robles’ fertile soil in the 1790s. Commercial winemaking arrived almost a century later, and Paso Robles’ vinicultural reputation grew ever stronger as more wineries opened throughout the 20th century. Natural hot springs have also long attracted visitors to Paso Robles.

With a lovely downtown featuring great restaurants and world-class wine tasting rooms, Paso Robles is a premier wine country destination with much to offer. Residents also enjoy recreational amenities such as Paso Robles Horse Park. The city is conveniently located at the crossroads of U.S. Highway 101 and State Highway 46, midway between Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area.

Paso Robles’ beautiful backcountry setting features luxury homes on acreage lots. Grand Mediterranean villas are a particularly popular architectural style here.
