Wine Tasting
in the Willow Creek District as well as other notable areas of Paso Robles such as the Templeton Gap and Adelaida District. The cooler westside coastal vineyards are topographically diverse, providing intense and unique flavor profiles for Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux and Rhône varieties. On the east side, the warmth and dryness combine to create an ideal microclimate for growing petite sirah, tempranillo, sangiovese and others.
For white wines, try the Al- bariño or Rosé – both are perfect for enjoying with fruit and lighter meals during the amazing spring and summer evenings of the Cali- fornia Central Coast.
Looking for a red wine? Start with Opolo’s Mountain Zinfandel, a standard bearer of Paso Robles zinfandel for more than 20 years. Over that time span, Opolo has perfected its trademark Mountain Zinfandel style: rich, bold, fruit- forward and always lively through the finish. Another must-try is the Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve from the winery’s Willow Creek District
estate vineyards—dense and sump- tuous, showing seamless layers of black cherry, plum, tobacco and black olive with accents of mineral, vanilla and baking spice.
Wine club, events, lodging and more
Opolo’s special events, includ- ing quarterly wine club parties, are famous for delivering fun, festivity and memories. Keep an eye out
at opolo.com for these and other events throughout the year. And what could be more special than a romantic wedding? Opolo Vine- yards is the ideal venue, with oak tree-lined roads, acres of vines and walnut groves, and a picturesque hilltop.
You can also live the ultimate Paso Robles wine country experi- ence at The Inn at Opolo Vineyards with luxurious, spacious rooms,
fireplaces, soaking tubs, wine and appetizers each afternoon, and
a made-to-order breakfast each morning.
