Destinations other than Paso:

Take a gander at this:  its for those who are looking for a winter vacation in warmer climes.  Must
confess that we are a little biased. This getaway is owned by our son and daughter-in-law. Very nice
indeed.  http://www.sunsetvallarta.com 

• Wining, Vineing and Dining

Paso Robles is the second largest wine appellation in California but we are working to correct that. Even
Seven Quails Vineyards, Bed & Breakfast contributes to this ambitious enterprise with its modest acreage
of zinfandel, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, viognier, and malbec varietals. We  can’t compete with
the big boys but we ARE tasty.

For the pleasure of visiting any of Paso's, at last count, 111+++ tasting rooms, several limousine and van services offer chauffeur-driven amenities.

For dining Paso has a generous selection of fine restaurants offering Italian, French and continental
cuisines. We will be happy to make recommendations.
