Lars did an amazing job sharing fun and informative facts about the Paso Robles Wine Country. We did this tour as a team building day for our sales team. Everyone had a fabulous day and commented on how much they enjoyed the tour and that Lars made this this most fun day of wine tasting they had experienced. Thanks Toast Tours!
We had a private tour. The communication before the tour with Lars and his wife was excellent. Everything was planned and made it so enjoyable. We had an amazing time with Lars. He was so knowledgeable with the area and wines. He went out of his way to have everything perfect each time we got off the bus. He even took time after to make sure we had dinner recommendations.
If you are looking for a tour with an amazing guide I highly recommend this tour. I do not have any negative to say about it.
We visited Morro Bay and Paso Robles over Christmas this year and spent one day with Toast Tours. What an amazing time! Kristina was our guide and made sure we had a perfect day. She was so accommodating- we booked privately and were able to bring our dogs along- a dog bed, treats and water were in the bus waiting! Kristina hand selected wineries based on our preferences and shared much fascinating detail about the locations and the wines we were tasting. We added on a great stop to enjoy olive oil and then ended with a distillery. She picked us up and dropped us off at our lodging on top of it all! So- for a personalized tour that will be truly memorable, go with Kristina and Lars and Toast Tours.
Kristina was incredibly helpful to work with. She had the perfect suggestions of wineries for our friend’s bachelorette party based on budget and vibe we were looking for. She was also really helpful to recommend restaurants and bars in Paso! We had an awesome day with Lars who let us take over the bus sound system and thoroughly enjoy ourselves on our ride.
Our experience with Toast Tours was exceptional from the very beginning. Kristine was our first point of contact and her attention to detail was superb. She put together a tour specific for our group of 14. Our tour was a full day starting with pick up at our hotel, onto Hearst Castle, delicious picnic lunch @ Pasolivo in the grove, tour and tasting at Tablas Creek, and a final tasting at Parish Family. She was very attentive in the planning process, listening to what our group was interested in and then making suggestions for the day. Our guide/sommelier for the day, Lars, was equally as amazing. Surprise, they are husband and wife! They followed up with us on every step of the planning process, such great customer skills. Loved our day.
We had such a blast during our day with tour! Kristina was amazing. She was so helpful with getting everything set up, making the reservations at all the winery, and looking for options that fit our group. She made the whole process easy and the pricing was great!
We also added the lunch option on for our tour and all the food was great. Plus there are gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options!
Everything was amazing! I highly recommend this tour if you want an easy to plan, informative, fun, delicious, and amazing wine tour!
My husband and I would highly recommend Toast Tour. We booked last minute. Christine call me back right away and she planned the tour based upon our tastes. She introduced us to different wines from the Rhône varieties. She is so knowledgeable about all aspects of wine staring with a lesson about “Terroir” which is how a particular region’s climate, soils and aspect (terrain) affect the taste of wine. My husband who does not typically like tours completely enjoyed the experience. Christine brings you lunch and had cheese and crackers with blueberries after our first stop. We felt like family (in a good way). She really took care of us and listened to our tastes and took us to places she thought we would like and she was spot on. I cannot say enough about our experience.
I should have posted this a few months ago. I am back In Paso this week for another show and I was reminiscing with my wife about how great the tour was that Lars & Kristina created for family back in June. I booked with them because Kristina was so responsive and accommodating. I asked them to set up a tour specifically for my adult daughters, my wife and I that would be more then a basic tasting tour. I really wanted my girls to see behind the scenes of wine making. Well they really delivered, Kristina took some time to discuss my interests and thoughts. Then she created a proposed itinerary prior to the trip. We arrived in Paso and settled in for the first day, on the second day we were picked up by Lars at the house we were renting. He proceeded to take us on an excellent wine tasting experience! We were greeted by wine makers and vineyard owners and taken on personal tours, we even had a barrel tasting with one of the owners. We were really given a great sense for the passion behind wine making. Later that evening my daughters commented on how much they learned, enjoyed, and how much differently they look at wine and the process behind it. I highly recommended Lars & Kristina at Toast tours. You can not go wrong! They truly have a passion for bringing the experience of wine making and tasting to a new level. It really shows in how they listen and created a tour to fit our personal interests. I have done other tours in the region and they were nice. This was the best tour I have experienced. Thank you Lars & Kristina for taking care of my Family and sharing your stories and opening the world of wine making to my daughters with your thoughtful customized Wine Experience (“Tour” does not say enough)
Cheers!
We could not have asked for a better day! We did a private tour, and our small group of five had a wide range of wine knowledge (from a somm to a total novice), and Kristina made the tour fun and informative for everyone — interesting tidbits of information and anecdotes about the area, particular wineries, etc. Everything ran perfectly on time and was expertly coordinated! Highly, HIGHLY recommend.
We had a group of 8 on a private 2 day wine tasting experience in Paso Robles. Kristina was awesome from start to finish. From the initial first few emails to the the last hotel drop off we were WELL taken care of! She spent a tremendous amount of time making our wine tasting appointments (we selected our own wineries). She even made dinner reservations for us and basically handled EVERY detail.
The van was very cozy – with the seats facing each other. This gave our group the ability to talk and interact during the drive times. Lots of cold bottled water was available and a good cheese plate. We also brought our own snacks to munch on in between wineries.
One person is our group had a puppy and Kristina did everything she could to make that aspect of the trip comfortable and fun!
I would wholeheartedly recommend her company for your wine tasting experiences!!!

a day beautiful was this! Besides Toast Tours (Kristina and Lars) did a great job planning the day, customizing it to our specific requirements and wishes, we – above all – enjoyed their personal guidance, knowledge and presence. What a nice couple is this!
Lars (driver) is an extremely easy going guy with a huge knowledge on the area, history of California and above all: wine! Lars is an extremely skilled tour guide and a gifted storyteller. He is a dedicated and loyal to his customers. You are never in doubt whether he enjoys his job. I can imagine there is usually a lot of fun around Lars as I have enjoyed every single minute traveling with him.
Ask Kristina to handle the dynamics and different wishes in a group of 10 people and she comes up with a number of ideas you have never thought of yourself. We – for example – ended up playing disc golf in a beautiful vineyard. Furthermore, she is excellent in organization, communication and establishing (and obviously maintaining) relations with local entrepreneurs – and, I am absolutely sure, customers as well.
If I could recommend a Hearst Castle & Wine Tour (or any other tour at Toast Tours….)? Absolutely YES!
We did a private wine tour and it was fantastic! Kristina was so great to work with in the lead up to the tour, offering plenty of options and answering questions. She not only put together an amazing day for us, she was also our driver and guide – which was awesome as she is very knowledgeable about the area and wine (she is a sommelier as well!). Highly recommend!
We booked a personal tour thru Toast Tours recently. Our group has traveled together pretty extensively, with multiple wine tours in Napa and Sonoma. This tour was easily the best we have ever had. What makes it best?
1. Kristina was incredibly organized, professional and passionate. every stop was organized
2. the tour stops were an awesome blend of old school Paso wineries, small and larger wineries. this gave us a great contrast in visits, making each more memorable by comparison to the others
3. the lunch and snacks were excellent
4. Paso Robles wine is a true delight. the scene is laid back and casual, but the wine is as good as you will find anywhere. and so many nuances in terroir.
5. The bus was configured in a way that kept us all engaged, with seats going around the side, vs a standard aisle arrangement.
Thanks Kristina!
Great experience with Toast Tours! Super reasonable rates/packages. Very accommodating, they
helped us shape our winery visits and made all the appointments. They kept track of all our wine
purchases… GREAT experience with this company! Kristina and Lars are awesome!
This was our first time to Paso Robles and Toast Tours was recommended to us from a local. We initially booked a wine tour for the 8 of us and Kristina was so helpful in planning the whole day for us at some amazing wineries. It was exactly what we wanted…intimate, quaint and of course great wine. Kristina was professional and so knowledgeable about everything wine and the region. We had such a great time we booked Toast Tours again for the next day. Lars picked us up the next morning and took us to a great breakfast spot in Cambria, out to see the elephant seals and finally to Hearst Castle. It was so comfortable, informative and really made our trip. We would all HIGHLY recommend Toast Tours to anyone looking for a tour company in the area. Thank you Kristina and Lars!
We visited Paso Robles for my sister-in-law’s 50th birthday and booked Toast Tours for the day. Kristina booked perfect wineries and knew exactly where to take our group for a fun day. She planned a picnic lunch for us, and made our day perfect. I was very impressed with her wine knowledge and great conversation with our group.
Lars and Kristina really went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect day in wine country. Kristina worked closely with me to make sure our first trip to Paso Robles was special and unique. The tour took us to wineries that were more off the beaten path which was amazing, I discovered wineries I would of never even heard of and even found some reds I like. ( I was strictly a Chardonnay drinker only before) doing other wine tours In the last I would really recommend toast tours their attention to detail and personal touches make you feel more like your out with friends instead of just on a bus being herded around like cattle drinking all day. I’d give them 10 stars if I could it was truly a special day.

Came back to celebrate a birthday with Kristina withToast Tours.. Kristina was detailed oriented and made our trip memorable. We brought friends and family up and handpicked a few wineries… had lunch ( delicious) and enjoyed the weekend! One of our guests said it was in the top 100 experience of a lifetime! Quite a compliment!
We had an amazing girls trip planned back in May and Toast Tours worked with me to customize the perfect day for all of us. The attention to detail and the customized one-on-one planning that Kristina provided was unlike any other wine tour I have experienced. It is obvious that Kristina and Lars are passionate about their craft and business.
I will be only using Toast Tours for our future visits!!
We arrived in Paso Robles seeking a special experience that would give us a true taste of wine country. Our Toast Tour exceeded our high expectations. Lars (our tour guide) shared his knowledge of the Hearst Castle, the history of the area, and wine in a way that captivated our interest. In addition to the Hearst Castle, our group of eight visited two distinct wineries and squeezed in an olive oil tasting. We also lunched by the sea, enjoying local delicacies from an excellent food truck. The vineyards we visited were thoughtfully selected by Lars and his wife, with the intention of helping us experience the distinct vineyard varieties of the area. Both were fabulous. In fact, our entire tour was fabulous.
We are grateful to Toast Tours for helping make our trip one we will all remember — with smiles — for years to come.

Highly Recommend Toast Tours!
I randomly found ToastTours in my search for a fun experience in the area for my SIL bachelorette party. And let me tell you, this was the best find. I worked closely with Kristina for weeks to coordinate the day, which included 3 wine tours and a lunch picnic, for 13 ladies. That is no easy task. Kristina was incredibly knowledgeable, flexible, and a treat to work with. She broke down the prices for transportation..the lunch..and tastings.
On the day, she was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and hospitable. She took care of everything. Water and cheese and crackers were provided, as well as several types of charges for phones. The buss was very comfortable as well.
The day was a hit for all 13 ladies and a huge part goes to ToastTours. Highly recommend them!
Five stars are not enough to give Kristina of Toast Tours for her assistance and care this past Saturday in putting together a memorable day of wine tasting in celebration of my husband’s 60th birthday.
We had planned to celebrate my husband’s birthday in Alaska but due to the covid-19 virus we had to cancel it. We thought we would need to shelter in place and may celebrate later in the year. About two weeks ago we started to hear of a few wineries opening up with strict safety guidelines. After receiving a few more emails from wineries announcing that they were opening too, we decided to try to book a quick getaway. I contacted Kristina to ask her about possibly taking us and two other couples around for a day of wine tasting and she got right to work on putting together an itinerary.
I won’t go into details, but we had very specific needs and wineries we wanted to visit. For this reason, we needed to go back and forth with emails and phone calls to get the right combination of our requests met. Kristina was absolutely wonderful and patient working through all of larger to smaller details of our last minute tour.
The day of the tour went as smooth as could be. Kristina arrived on time and all of the appointments she made with the wineries were just as described and expected. We had a great experience and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
We feel that Kristina has the knowledge of the wineries to book a tour that won’t disappoint. We also feel that Kristina takes it upon herself to go that extra step to be personally involved with you and your group so that you don’t just have a driver driving you around from winery to winery, you have a caring friend with you.
We will use Kristina at Toast tours again in the future for sure.
Thank you for making our day so memorable, Kristina!!!
Kristina was more than accommodating with our requests. She made recommendations based on our preferences of wine and went above and beyond to help he have a great time.
We even had our fluffy goldendoodle in tour and she had all our stops dog friendly without a worry for us! She even went above and beyond to give us restaurant recommendations as well!We’ll be back!
Toast tours was one of the most fantastic tours I have ever been on. Lars was a wonderful host. He took us to beautiful and delicious wineries. He was so knowledgeable about wine and the service was impeccable. Before the tour, Christina contacted me to discuss what kind of wineries my group would be interested in going to and everything was custom for our interests. This tour exceeded all of my expectations. Amazing!
This was my first time wine tasting in Paso and knew there are a lot of good wineries. After speaking with Kristina over the phone, she was attentive, knowledgeable and took in account what my preferences were. In blind faith, I went with her recommendations and she hit it out of the park!
Her husband Lars was our guide and his knowledge of wine, the area and his great personality made the tour for us. We visited 4 wineries and had the opportunity to meet every wine maker and owners of the vineyards. This surpassed all our expectations and we will definitely use Toast Tours again when visiting Paso. Thank you Toast Tours!
From start to finish our experience with Toast Tours was A+! Kristina helped us plan an amazing trip that catered perfectly to our group and and the experience we wanted (even during Covid times). We loved how knowledgeable and fun she was. We will certainly be back and I can truly attest to a wonderful tour with Toast Tours!
Wow! This trip was perfection and couldn’t be more happy with our experience. Lars was so friendly and so knowledgeable.
Every single winery we went to was so tasty and the staff was incredible. I can’t recommend this experience enough! It was our anniversary trip and they made us feel so special at every stop. Kristina planned out our trip perfectly and I can’t wait to come back and do it again.
Seriously I can’t tell you how amazing and perfect this trip was and you need to book this trip you won’t regret it. Thank you Lars and Kristina for an unforgettable trip! Simply perfection!
I agree with the previous reviews that wish they could give 10 stars to Toast Tours!
Kristina picked us up on time, allowed us to decorate the bus for my friends birthday and organized reservations at 3 beautiful wineries with great wines.
She also provided a dog bed for our furry companion. We had a great time and did not have to worry about anything. Kristina was more knowledgable about the wine then some of the servers. Highly recommend!! Thank you so much Kristina!!
We set up a private tour for our large group and Toast Tours was amazing. From start to finish, our experience was so simple just perfect, even during Covid19. Kristina was extremely knowledgable, friendly and she catered to our group. Every stop was on schedule and we just had such a great tour with her. I would 100% recommend Toast Tours (especially for a large group)
My husband and I had a great time on our tour! Kristina and Lars had wonderful food and accommodations for us on the van.
The van was clean and comfortable. We were very happy with the wineries that were selected for us to visit and we felt that we got the full experience.
I was worried that the tour might feel “touristy” or gimmicky, however, this was not the case. Instead, I felt like we got to find some hidden gems that we never would have discovered on our own.
My husband and I did a wine tour with Toast Tours for my birthday on January 16, 2021.
Lars, our tour guide was fantastic! He took us to 4 wonderful wineries and was very knowledgeable about the wineries and the history of the wine industry in Paso Robles.
I would highly recommend Toast Tours if you’re ever in Paso Robles, CA.
