What to Expect
The Paso Wine Country Picnic Adventure is a hosted shared tour for guests who want a little extra flexibility in how they taste. Your day begins with pickup from your local hotel or meeting point, usually around 10:30am, before heading into Paso Robles wine country with your Driver/Host and fellow guests.
Between approximately 11:00am and 4:00pm, you’ll visit three handpicked wineries with reservations arranged by Grapeline. This is a pay-as-you-go tasting format, so you can choose what works best at each stop—order wine by the glass, share a tasting, purchase bottles to take home, or explore wine club offers.

Grapeline Wine Tours works with many Paso Robles wineries and chooses an itinerary for the day that considers entertainment and tour offerings, expected crowding, and several other factors that can affect the guest experience at each winery. If there is a specific winery you’d like to visit, please request it when booking your reservation. While we can’t guarantee every request, we can guarantee all requests are taken into consideration and accommodated when possible. Ultimately, your host will provide an itinerary that’s sure to take advantage of the best wine country has to offer and will make your day memorable. If you have preferred wineries that you would like to visit, a private Paso Robles winery tour might be a better fit for you.
Most wineries serve 4 to 6 one ounce pours of different wines you select from their menu. After visiting a few wineries, these seemingly small tastings begin to add up, making it very important to have a designated driver.
Guests on our shared tours often provide gratuities at their discretion to their host at the end of their tour as a personal “thank you” for a job well-done. About 20% is typical. All private wine tour bookings require a 20% service charge, which includes gratuities, when you make your reservations.
Absolutely. The best way to support local wineries is to take home a few bottles. If traveling, the winery may be able to ship your order to you.

Grapeline charges full fare for no-shows or cancellations made within 48 hours of a scheduled tour.
