First things first, what is Galentine’s Day? Well, simply put, it’s a day to celebrate friendships with the gals! It takes place on February 13th and takes place on the eve of Valentine’s Day. We’ve put together a mini-guide packed with wine tasting, and more to help you plan an EPIC Galentine’s Day with your friends in Paso Robles, here on the Central Coast.
Galentine’s Guide: It’s Wine O’Clock
Are you and your friends big fans of wine? You’re in luck! With over 300 wineries, Paso Robles is the spot to be. Here’s our suggested guide for a wine-tastic Galentine’s Day in wine country.
Stop One: Breakfast At Brunch
The best wine tours and wine tasting adventures begin with a full stomach. You’ll want to load up on good food before you embark on your Galentine’s Day wine venture. That’s why we suggest swinging by Brunch in downtown Paso Robles. A team favorite – you won’t find anywhere else with such tasty brunch options! Dig into a S’Mores French Toast, or Monte Cristo, or a Breakfast Pizza – just to name a few options. You can also start off your wine day with a glass of Chardonnay here. (While you’re downtown, you can also pick up some snacks and treats for the Paso Robles General Store to munch on later.)

Stop Four: Tin City Eateries
It’s time for a quick break to refuel; after all, you are a couple of wine tastings deep into Galentine’s Day – you need to keep up your energy! Luckily for you, Tin City has a couple of food stops within walking distance of Desparada.
