What’s New in 2006

Many changes have been incorporated into the 2006 Paso Robles Wine Festival to keep the afternoon flowing smoothly for everyone. New in 2006 is a designated tasting area to allow wine enthusiasts to taste the wines of the region in a controlled area of the downtown city park. Only ticket holders will be allowed in the designated tasting area, which will be cordoned off, letting enthusiasts enjoy an afternoon of wine. No blankets, chairs or coolers will be allowed in this new tasting area. Ticket holders will enjoy unlimited wine tasting in a commemorative Riedel glass. Live music, unlimited wine tasting and a free flowing area allows guests to easily move around the park and enjoy the Wine Festival. Click here to order tickets to the Saturday tasting in the park.
