Winery with panoramic vistas, curated tastings & culinary pairings
"Given the sheer number of wineries surrounding Paso, it can be overwhelming to find a good jumping off point. We suggest Daou. Located about 15 minutes northwest of town, Daou Winery is a Paso institution. For starters, the gigantic tasting room sits on a massive hill and has the best views in the area. This is definitely a high-end operation (tastings start at $40), but their cabernet and rosé are so good, you won’t regret anything when the bill comes. As an added bonus, we wouldn’t be surprised if you found a row of Rolls-Royces parked out front that you can pretend like you own." - brant cox
"All the Lebanese favourites are here at this family restaurant, starting with tomato salad with sumac and ending with grilled meats, stuffed vine leaves, and molokhia greens. It’s been around for almost fifty years for a reason." - JP Karwacki
"Run by the Daou brothers, Georges and Daniel, this estate has become a leading light in Paso Robles thanks to both its triple-digit-priced flagship reds like Patrimony and Soul of a Lion and its everyday-priced reds and whites that reliably overdeliver. Daily tastings run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., but reservations often fill up six weeks in advance, so plan accordingly." - Food & Wine Editors
"Perched on a mountaintop with panoramic vistas, this family-driven estate delivers curated tastings and memorable culinary pairings against spectacular surroundings." - AFAR
