Looking for where to stay and sip in Paso Robles? We’ve paired the top Paso Robles wine country hotels with not to miss Paso Robles wineries.
There are plenty of reasons to visit Paso Robles, but the top one has to be for the wine country.
When you’re choosing where you stay for any wine country getaway you want to look for a place that will enhance the overall experience. A few things I personally consider when selecting a wine country hotel included..
1. Its proximity to wineries. The last thing you want to do is spend unnecessary time driving to and from your hotel to wineries. Try to select one that’s nearby wineries – or on a winery – you want to visit.
2. What food options does it have onsite – or nearby. Remember you need to eat a hearty, protein filled breakfast before you set out for a day of wine tasting. Being able to grab a picnic lunch to take with you is also very helpful. Not to mention having a place you can easily get dinner to top off your day.
3. Where to sip and swirl at the end of the day. Most wine tasting rooms close about 4pm, leaving you with a few hours before dinner to sit back and sip in the sunset. You should always enjoy a wine country sun set…so find a place that allows for that.
With these considerations in mind, I’ve broken down the following list of Paso Robles hotels based on their location and amenities. With location as one of my main priorities, this list includes Paso Robles hotels on vineyards, because nothing can enhance a wine country get away like waking up among the vines. I’ve also included downtown Paso Robles hotels since staying in a more urban, downtown setting can be just as amazing and provide more options for restaurants, local tasting rooms and shopping. When it comes to Paso Robles, the cute, little downtown is an awesome place to stay.
