THE RIDE

A Restored 1974 VW Bus

The tour’s centerpiece is a beautifully restored 1974 VW bus—part transport, part stage prop—whose retro interior sets a relaxed tone for the day and frames many of the trip’s photo moments.

THE TASTING

Three Handpicked Wineries

Over the course of the day you’ll visit three carefully chosen wineries, each offering a window into Paso Robles’ varietal range and vineyard scenery for a compact but varied tasting experience.

THE PAUSE

Lunch with Vineyard Views

At the second stop the itinerary includes a relaxing lunch option served alongside wine and vineyard views—a deliberate interlude to stretch out the tasting and take in the landscape.
