West side or east side? Everyone says it like you already know what it means. Here's what the split actually does to the wine, plus a plain-English breakdown of all 11 Paso Robles sub-AVAs so you know what kind of day you want before you go.

Brecon Estate is the west side winery I save for people who think they already know Paso Robles. A family-run spot with small-lot wines and an Albarino that quietly rearranges expectations.

First time in Paso Robles? The best advice I can give you is not to pick just one kind of winery. Here is how to taste across the whole region, from tiny family producers to grand hilltop estates, with itineraries built for one, two, or three days.

One of our drivers has taken guests through Paso wine country for years and still cannot remember the name Zobèto Wines. What he knows is that it's on the pistachio farm, the dogs come out when you pull up, and it's one of his favorite stops in the region. So we call it Pistachios and Puppies.

Zobèto is a family-owned, winemaker-poured boutique tasting room on the westside of Paso Robles, where owners Cliff and Christie pour small-lot Rhône blends they spent years learning to make. In 2024, they entered a global Rhône competition alongside 14 top producers and took first place. The wines are serious. The setting is warm. And yes, the dogs are very real.

Most weekends in wine country blur together by Sunday night. The views, the pours, the charming tasting rooms — they're wonderful, and they start to look alike. Then there are the places that don't blur. The ones that are still vivid two years later.

Ulloa Cellars is one of those places.

Nancy Ulloa is a Latina scientist, winemaker, and self-described "wine witch" who specializes in obscure white wines you won't find anywhere else in Paso Robles: Picpoul Blanc, Vermentino, Sémillon, Grüner Veltliner, Gewurztraminer. Every wine comes with a Spanish affirmation and a crystal pairing — one you get to take home. Named to Wine Enthusiast's 2025 Future 40 Tastemakers list, Nancy brings equal parts passion, science, and spiritual energy to every single tasting. It's part masterclass, part show, and if you're open to it, part something you didn't know you needed.

Here's why we think Ulloa Cellars is one of the most important stops in all of Paso wine country right now.
