Paso Wine Fest is the must-attend event for any wine enthusiast between and beyond the greater Los Angeles and San Francisco areas. This three-day, once-a-year experience brings more than 120 wineries together for a massive 500-plus wine-tasting selection, accompanied by enticing dining options, enlightening seminars, and ambiance-enhancing live music. Plan ahead to experience all this incredible celebration has to offer the weekend of May 15th through 17th, 2026.
Celebration
This festival celebrates the Paso Robles wine country’s rich heritage in a convenient single location. Paired Paso, the festival’s first main event on Friday the 15th, combines the area’s most celebrated chefs and wineries collaborating with wine/food pairings you can vote on. We’re proud to say Riboli Family Wines is among the dozen wineries competing in this year’s event! We’d love to share our best with you and would be delighted to have your support!
The San Antonio Winery is also participating in Saturday’s main event: the Wine Fest Grand Tasting, which includes complimentary culinary bites and a commemorative wine glass. Sunday’s main event, Sparkling Paso, features limited-production sparkling wines paired with gourmet food over brunch. The celebration also features many local artisans selling a range of handmade goods and wine-related items.
Food
Many of the area’s best restaurants and food trucks join us at Paso Wine Fest, providing a wide selection of unique, delicious meal options. Downtown Paso Robles offers a wide selection of fine dining options, including the Rioboli Family’s Maddalena Restaurant at San Antonio Winery.
Live Music
No wine-tasting is complete without the proper audio ambiance. Several wineries have DJs playing favorite hits throughout the festival. Additionally, Krush 92.5 will interview participating winemakers, and the host of the Where Wine Takes You podcast, Adam Montiel, will record an episode.
