Harvest in Paso Robles Wine Country is a sensation that can only be experienced among the vines. Although a photograph or stained glass window can paint a picture, you cannot feel the depth, warmth and camaraderie that flourish without a trip to Paso Robles during the most idyllic time of year. Scents of ripened fruit are abundant, providing a taste of the richness enjoyed in every bottle of Paso Robles wine. Echoes of celebration fill the air creating a feeling of excitement and something novel; a fresh start; a new vintage!
These are the characteristics classic to Harvest! Each year, throughout the third weekend in October, Paso Robles Wine Country opens its doors and invites you into the vineyard and onto the crush pad to experience the breadth of activities surrounding the busiest time of year. The personalities of wine country guide you through the challenges and victories of the season that is truly like none other.
Harvest is the time when picking, delivery, crushing and fermentation must run like clockwork, a particularly interesting challenge with Mother Nature’s unpredictability keeping everyone on their toes. Join the wineries’ busy schedule; head out on the road to visit your favorites and pick up a few bottles along the way. Jump onto the newest social networking craze, FourSquare, and “check in” at the wineries you visit to share tips about the things you do and the wines you try. "Like" Paso Robles Wine on Facebook for a plethora of Harvest Wine Weekend tips.
We invite you to indulge in this very special season. Experience Harvest during one long weekend of individual events at area wineries, maximizing your time in wine country. Throughout Harvest Wine Weekend, wineries host seldom seen crush and harvest activities. Experience vineyard practices in motion and take part in a blending seminar, or jump feet first into a two-ton grape stomp. The weekend is yours for the taking, the most valuable indulgence of all!
