Paso Robles
Downtown Paso Robles has something for everyone - food, wine, and events throughout the year in the park.
Quaint, Historic Downtown Templeton is easy going and low key. Several great restaurants have been added downtown as well as the fun and hip 15C Wine Bar is a great place to hang out.
The Farmers Market is in the park on Saturday mornings - get there early to grab fresh fish before it runs out or grab some fresh fruits and veggies.
Concerts in the park on Wednesday evenings throughout the summer!

Book before you go
Food and Wine Reservations
The Central Coast Wine Country has exploded in popularity and for good reason - the food, wine, weather - making it a perfect get away. We highly recommend planning your stay in advance.
Make dinner reservations well in advance. Most restaurants use the Tock and Yelp app with only a few using Open Table. You can also call directly.
Make wine tour reservations ahead of time. Many require reservations but you may find some that take walk-ins. Most use the Tock app. If you are on Facebook to join the Paso Robles Wine Fanatics for great local suggestions.
What to pack
Bring slippers or socks
the home has hardwood floors throughout so when hanging around, slippers or socks are great.
What to pack
Layers & Sunscreen
The Central Coast area has different climates and it's always best to layer. If going to the coast, it can be 20 degrees cooler than Paso Robles for example. Paso can be hot in the summer as well. Bring plenty of sunscreen.
Book before you go
Restaurants and Winery Reservations
Be sure to book your restaurant and winery reservations before you arrive. Most use the app called "Tock" for reservations.
What to pack
Bring a pet blanket or sheet
If your fur baby likes to sit on furniture, please bring a pet blanket or sheet to use on furniture. We know it's hard but if you cannot cover the furniture, please try to keep pets off furniture. We do have a "doughnut" pillow in the living room for pets to use.
