Private Paso Robles Distillery Tours

Paso Robles may be famous for its wine, but it’s also home to a vibrant and fast-growing craft spirits scene that’s putting the region on the map for world-class distillation. From smooth small-batch whiskeys to bold gins, aromatic brandies, and inventive liqueurs, each distillery here brings its own distinct personality and passion to the glass.

With our exclusive Private Distillery Trail Tour, you’ll explore the scenic countryside with your own expert guide, visiting some of Paso’s top craft distilleries, including hidden gems you might not find on your own. Along the way, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the distillation process, see the gleaming copper stills up close, and learn the unique history, techniques, and ingredients that shape each spirit.

You’ll sample a range of spirits, from gin and whiskey to brandy and seasonal specialties, each with its own flavor profile and character. Depending on the day’s itinerary, you might even enjoy a cocktail crafted just for you, or meet the distiller themselves.

Whether you’re a dedicated spirits enthusiast or just curious to explore Paso Robles beyond its famous wine country, this tour offers a deep dive into the region’s rich distilling culture. Perfect for anniversaries, birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate outings, or just a memorable day with friends, we’ll handle every detail so you can sip, savor, and enjoy the journey.
