Wine---Wine---and more Wine!!!

Paso Robles is the third largest wine region in California and the fastest growing. There are over 180 wineries here. Most are small to medium wineries that only sell out of their tasting rooms. Our RV park is adjacent to one and they have a gate so we can walk out through the vineyards. We can look out and see others all over the hills. ( RV park's name----Wine Country RV Park. ) We have toured several---our favorite was Sculptura. It had gardens full of sculptures and the wine was good also.

We have learned about wine growing and tasting. We bought lots of wine so when we get back, if you like wine, come over for some.


Eberle Winery has built caves that are 68 ft underground to keep the wine cool and cut down on utility costs.


Robert Hall Winery has caverns that are 38 ft underground. Here we are in the cavern tasting "new" wine right out of the barrel.
