It’s no longer a secret that Paso Robles is a world-class destination for great wine, food, beer and so much more, but this tiny cowboy town still seems to have plenty of surprises up its sleeve. Enter Tin City – an unexpected diamond in the rough hidden away in an industrial complex just south of the City of Paso Robles off of Ramada Drive.
Currently home to more than a dozen wineries, this is the place where passionate local winemakers come to focus their time, expertise and energy on making high-quality, small lot wines. It’s an environment where they’re uninhibited and are able to let their creative juices flow – literally!
As a result, they’ve ended up making some of the most noteworthy wines available, and have added an entirely new tasting experience to the Paso Robles’ offerings. Here you’ll be able to stand in their active boutique winery / tasting room, sip wine and chat intimately with the winemakers themselves, while learning about the stories and passions behind each delicious, unique bottle.
Since Tin City’s inception, additional wineries, breweries and distilleries have opened in nearby industrial areas with a similar focus on quality, small production wines, beers and distilled spirits in a casual, relaxed atmosphere.
While not as robust or walkable as Tin City proper, you can find some excellent options in these nearby areas, which is why we’ve included them in our map below as ‘Tin County’ and further north along Ramada Drive (Firestone Walker Brewery, Broken Earth Winery & Two Moons Cellars).
Please keep in mind that the map is not drawn to scale, and that it is best to check current opening days & hours, since these often change.
A great way to experience Tin City as well as Paso Robles wine country is to take one of our tours. Both our Toast Together Wine Tour and our Hearst Castle & Wine Tour end the day in Tin City.
