| Wine Wrangler Wine Tours: Wine Tasting and Art |
This weekend Paso Robles will
attract art lovers in droves as they arrive to take part in the annual Paso
Robles Art Festival. But, Paso Robles Wine Country is also
home to over 200 wineries--many that feature local artists--so it's
the perfect time to combine the pleasures of art with wine tasting. The
Wine Wrangler offers a range of wine
tasting tours and as you visit the tasting rooms, you'll also
get a chance to check our some amazing artists and their works.
Many art lovers enjoy visiting the Paso
Robles Art Gallery on the downtown square, but until they go wine
tasting with us, they don’t realize the wealth of art that is available for
viewing at many of the tasting rooms—or that they can take our Hearst Castle
tour and check out William Randolph Hearst’s
incredible art collection.
Art lovers, here are 3 tasting
rooms that you won't want to miss:
Sculptera: Before you even set foot in the tasting room,
you’ll be welcomed by the art. Ironworker and blacksmith, Robert Bently’s
unique vision and exceptional craft is evident in the gates and ironwork (you
can see more of his work around the county, including at the Carlton Hotel in
Atascadero). However, it just might be renowned sculptor, J. Jagger’s
20,000 pound granite “Puma” that greets you on your arrival that really gets
your attention. Other pieces to note are the recently completed works in
stainless steel and glass by resident sculptor, Dale Evers.
Castoro Cellars: Well-known
for their commitment to showcasing local artists and artwork, a stop by Castoro
Cellars on any given month will feature a solo exhibit. This month, check out
the work of California artist, Steven Seizo Nakamura.
Vina Robles: Looking
to create your own masterpiece? Then a join in the fun at Vina Robles where
they regularly offer painting classes—expertly paired with wine and food—in
their Hospitality Center.
There’s no shortage of art in the Paso
Robles Wine Country, and for the art lover in all of us, being able to
enjoy tasting the local wines while taking in some local art is a real winner. The
WineWrangler can help you plan a personalized wine tasting tour that
will give you a chance to savor both the beauty of the vine and the canvas.
