BEST TIME OF THE YEAR TO VISIT:
“I love late winter/early spring here in Paso Robles when the grass is green, the nights and mornings are cool and the afternoons are sunny and mild. I’m a Minnesota boy, so having a little weather without it getting super cold is perfect for me. When it's green here – it's magical.”

Favorite New Hot Spot:
Best Breakfast:
"I’ve loved Joe’s Place since my first visit to Paso Robles – classic Paso Robles breakfast joint. Los Robles Cafe has a pretty amazing breakfast as well as the best taco in town when lunchtime comes."
Treat Yourself to Lunch and Dinner:
"There are so many great restaurants in Paso, it’s a little like trying to pick your favorite kid. On a weekday I love having fish tacos for lunch on the patio at FINCA. When friends are in town, I typically try to get a spot at the bar for dinner and cocktails at least one night at The Hatch. I also love sitting down and getting spoiled by Julien and the crew at Les Petites Canailles. We are so fortunate to have so many great chefs here in Paso."
Favorite Local Event:
"Well the Invitational Beer Fest is of course my favorite weekend of the year. Concerts in the Park is such a Paso classic as well."
