Activities That Pair Perfectly With Summer Wine Tasting
/Do you want to embark on a luxury wine tour but also want an adventure with plenty of activities? Luckily, you don’t have to choose one or the other! Below are three wineries from Paso Robles to Edna Valley and the activity that pairs perfectly with it. Include one or a couple of the suggested wineries and their activity in your Central Coast summer vacation!
Sip & Ride
Have you ever wanted to go horseback riding through rolling vineyard hills, surrounded by nature and incredible panoramic views? Well, thanks to Central Coast Trail Rides, you can! They offer a guided horseback ride geared for riders of any experience level. They provide different treks through Cass Winery’s sprawling vineyard. If you’re visiting around sunset, we highly recommended that you embark on the hilltop vista sunset ride. The breathtaking views are worth it!
After your ride, enjoy complimentary gelato at Cass Winery as you wine taste and relax after your ride. If you’re feeling a bit peckish for something more than gelato after your ride, Cass Winery has you covered. They have an on-site cafe serving up mouth-watering gourmet burgers fresh off the grill, flavorful salads, and more. Paired with a flight, there’s no better way to spend a summer afternoon in Paso Robles!

2. Sip & Surf
Looking to beat the heat this summer? Then you're going to want to try a favorite local pastime here on the Central Coast - surfing! Hit the ways in sunny Pismo Beach, a classic and well-loved beach town on the Central Coast. Sandbar Surf School offers group and individual surfing lessons to individuals of all ages. They offer customized classes to meet every skill level, from beginner to advanced. Don't worry about bringing a board or a wetsuit; wetsuits and soft-top surfboards are provided complimentary with your lesson!
After your lesson, only 13 minutes away in the heart of Edna Valley, you'll want to stop at Tolosa Winery. Before you take off for the winery, we suggest making a quick detour to Chipwrecked for some on-the-go gourmet potato chips with creative and delicious toppings. (You can work up quite the appetite surfing!) Once you arrive at Tolosa Winery, try their Perinet Experience. The wine for this experience has traveled across the seas from their sister winery in Spain for a tasting experience unlike any other you'll find on the Central Coast. During your tasting, you'll learn about the history, customs, and traditions that craft these old-world wines. You can also choose to pair this with their Spanish cheese and charcuterie board.
