Local Activities

Bicycle enthusiasts can begin their trek through Paso Robles Wine Country back roads from the Christopher JOYCE Vineyard and Inn.

Whether you wish to venture near or far, country roads, wineries, and gently rolling are at your doorstep.

By car, wander the back roads or get away from it all on one of our seasonal roads that wind through the gently rolling hills of our Central Coast. Wild flowers and wine tasting is the perfect spring time adventure. Wild flowers abound in Paso Robles Wine Country, especially after a good rainy season.

Three California Missions – Mission San Miguel Arcangel, Mission San Antonio Padua, and Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa -- are close to Paso Robles and welcome visitors.

Whale watching is a boat ride away from December through April while sport fishing is available throughout the year. These water adventures can add unexpected pleasure to your wine country visit.

Parkfield, is a must visit for earthquake aficionados! This very tiny town with a great big sense of humor is the site of the Parkfield Experiment, an intense earthquake study, led the USGS and State of California. Entering Parkfield, which is located on the San Andreas fault, you will cross the Pacific and North American tectonic plates.

Architect Julia Morgan’s collaboration with William Randolph Hearst is yours to enjoy at Hearst Castle and the Hacienda... Both are close to Paso Robles.
