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.
