宇宁: Paso Robles Sept 2026 day 4 and 5

Recovery Day

We did an extra day on Sunday to recover from the tasting.

Also, Sunday is where a lot of tourists will go home and Paso becomes nice and quiet again.

The hotel has free bikes for so Bill and I decide to try a bike ride. We went up the Salinas River Walk in Paso which is a 2 miles path (4 miles total).

It took us about 1.5 hours total but was a good way of seeing different parts of Paso.

Dorky Bikes and helmets =)

After the bike ride, we went for breakfast at Just Baked.

Favorite breakfast joint at Paso : Just Baked Bakery. You won't regret the quiche!

After that we went out for more wine tasting

Fratelli Perata

This is a place that we usually stop by in Paso to pick up a wine shipment for a friend. And we enjoy their wine and it's nice that they usually give us free tasting for picking up the wine.

Truss

Last year we found Truss by accident and tried their barrels tasting. Also, they were still building the tasting room last year and we sat at the pond with a very peaceful wine tasting. We also got a couple of pinot and white wine last year as they are good So this year we wanted to see how the wines turned out. So they finished their tasting room which is very nice. Their wine is very Bordeaux style but I was surprised that they got a lot less bold from what i remember in the barrels. The whites are not very flavorful too. Again, seems really overpriced with all reds at $75 so we just paid the tasting fee and went on our way.

After that we went to J Dusi and then head back to our hotel room for a simple lunch.

We went to 915 Lincoln winery in downtown Paso as we wanted to try their wine after the Taste of Paso yesterday. The owner is very nice and their wines are very big and bold. Definitely worth visiting again.

Olive oil and vinegar tasting at Pasolivo

We wanted to go back to Junction for Spanish tapas and paella. The chef is very good but it's not a cheap place. $54 for a paella that barely feeds 2.
