Congratulations, Cal Poly grads and grad parents who have stumbled onto this page. You’ve all done it! They say it takes a village, and I’m sure families with grads can agree with that. Celebrate your college accomplishment in style with some good fashioned wine tasting here in Paso Robles! We’ve searched far and wide to bring you the best 3 wineries on the Central Coast to celebrate your achievement. Cheers!
1. Tooth & Nail Winery
Who doesn’t want to celebrate years of scholarly sweat and tears at a castle in the rolling hills of Paso Robles? This winery is in the center of the action here on the Central Coast and has 8 wineries all within a five-minute drive. This winery is also one of the few wineries that can currently accommodate groups of up to 12 people with a reservation. If your grad party has more than 7 people, they require a reservation to be made at least 48 hours in advance. Did we mention they have an incredible menu? So not only can you celebrate with family over a superb bottle of wine, but you can also do it while digging into juicy beef sliders or hot tater tots (to name just a few items).

Mixed Tasting (Red & White Wine): $25
