I was recently passing through Paso Robles and was going to book a stay at a hotel there, but then I discovered that you could stay at the actual wineries! DONE! I found this gem in Paso Robles. A family-owned bed and breakfast that has incredible views, is beautifully decorated, and very affordable! The inn keepers are two brothers who are extremely kind and friendly. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, and the breakfast was delicious too. This is the way to travel!

I could spend the whole day at the Robert Mondavi Winery. The grounds are spectacular, and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. In the summers, the winery offers free concerts with headlining artists like Colbie Caillat. I look forward to returning and enjoying a summer night with music and fine wine.

Wine. Bread. Cheese. Crackers. Friends. Lively Conversation. These are all things that I imagined when I wanted to gather my friends together one afternoon, but I was tired of going to the same places that we always go, sitting at tables the whole time, only able to speak to the person who sat next to you. Until I discovered...THE STONEHAUS! I'm in love. They serve wine flights, half glasses of wine, full glasses of wine, bottles of wine, as well as tea, coffee, salads, paninis, and cheese/cracker plates. People can chat at the tasting bar or at small tables inside where they can move around and mingle.  Outside there are fireplaces, heat lamps, and blankets for all to enjoy. I bet you know where I will be a lot during the summer nights or after work. I have found a gem!
