Member Tasting Rooms Offer Top Flight Experience

Spend a day soaring over vineyards and exploring underground caves before breaking wine pairing rules while dining on farm-to-table fare. When visiting member wineries, you can expect sensational experiences that accompany the highly acclaimed wines.

If you’re a thrill seeker, Ancient Peaks Winery has created Margarita Adventures, offering zipline tours over historic Santa Margarita Ranch. Soar along six distinct ziplines, starting with two epic

rides over Cabernet Sauvignon vines on the 2,800-foot Double Barrel tandem zipline and the 1,300-foot Renegade zipline. Afterward, relax in the winery’s tasting room and sample their red Bordeaux varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Oyster Ridge, a Bordeaux-style blend.

Balance soaring over the vines by exploring underground caves at Eberle Winery. Built as a place to age wine, the caves include a 100-seat Wild Boar Room and offers daily tours. The winery hosts their monthly Guest Chef Dinner Series and special events in the caves. Gary Eberle, known as the “Godfather of Paso Robles wine,” was one of the first to plant Cabernet in the region, offering his first vintage in 1979 and you can expect to enjoy current vintages of the same varietal during the tour.

At Allegretto Vineyards & Wines, the focus is on food and wine pairing, but not in the traditional manner that you’ve come to expect. Each wine is poured in its own glass to honor the unique, elegant and balanced flavor profile. Here they emphasize flavor and teaching the technique of “flavor balancing.” You’ll learn why you like certain wines and how to balance them with food, even through unconventional pairings, such as the Allegretto’s Cabernet Sauvignon with Grilled Halibut. Allegretto wants you to pair the wine with the diner, not the dinner.

Once you’ve learned how to pair wine with food, a visit to JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery is a must. You’ll be encouraged to browse the herbs, strawberries, squash, lettuce and edible flowers that renowned Executive Chef Will Torres might pick for the featured dish that evening. These farm fresh ingredients are designed to pair with JUSTIN’s Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and signature ISOSCELES blend.

A day spent visiting the wineries of the Paso Robles CAB Collective offers an unlimited variety of encounters paired with the enjoyment of top caliber wines. Members are committed to creating experiences that are as memorable as each of the wines.
