The Wine Line - Wine Tasting Tours
"Hop On, Hop Off" Wine Tasting Tours in the Paso Robles Wine Country
SEE WHY PEOPLE ARE CALLING THIS THE BEST WINERY TOURING OPTION.
For only $49.95* per person you get shuttled to your choice of over 20 wineries on Paso Robles' famed West Side. No other service gives you the freedom and flexibility to taste at your own pace and choose where you want to go.
What's different? We are a door to door, "Hop On, Hop Off" shuttle service. We let you set your pace and create your own itinerary. Our climate controlled, BioDiesel vans pick you up at your accommodations and start you on our loop of over 20 wineries. You can "hop on and hop off" at whichever wineries you want and we'll be back to pick you up in 40 minutes. Pick ups are generally scheduled between 10:30-11:30am, coordinated geographically, and the end of the day is typically 4:30-5:30pm. Late pick ups and early returns are also possible upon request.
When you choose to "hop off" we walk you in, introduce you to the tasting room staff who take you from there, tell you about their wines and their winery, and do your pouring and tasting. When we return, we walk in, let you know we are back and if you're ready, you "hop" back on to proceed to the next winery of your choice. If you choose to stay a bit longer, no problem - we'll be back again in another 40 minutes to take you to your next destination. Our Wine Line Tasting Guide may help you make your choice of which wineries to visit.
As you are going to be out all day, lunch is always a concern. On our Lunch Menu file you'll find the choices for the lunch we, and two others, can offer you. Underscoring our mission of freedom and flexibility, we have six options available to you:
1. Bring your own carried in our cooler until you're ready to picnic at a vineyard.
2. Enjoy The Wine Line gourmet organic lunch for $10 per person.
3. Pick up a gourmet organic sandwich and sides at Farmstand 46 at the Four Vines tasting room and get 10% off
4. Eat lunch and do tasting at your table at Eagle Castle Winery from 11:30-3:30 (12-2 Winter Hours)
5. Get shuttled to downtown ($10pp) and eat at your choice of restaurants and cafes around the park, visit any of the 14 tasting rooms in the area and call to be picked back up.
6. Sit down and have lunch and wine tasting at Falcon Nest Winery.
Check out our Lunch Menu to review our sandwich options, and Farmstand 46 and Eagle Castle's offerings.
We only need to know in advance, preferably by the day before your tour, if we are providing your lunch. Everything else can be decided on a whim!
You no longer have to be stuck with a group all day, subject to their pace or only visit the wineries to which they are all taken. And because you won't spend all of your money on transportation you can afford to buy some of the fabulous wine and take it home to enjoy!

After being disappointed in the transportation options for wine tasting in Paso Robles, the owner was perplexed as to why no one offered an affordable and flexible touring service with the convenience of a city bus line.
The only services he could find were either private cars/limos or guided group tours. The private cars/limos were very expensive and the guided tours were restrictive and not what they were looking for. He had been wine tasting quite a bit and didn't really want a tour guide telling him how to taste, why it should taste good, etc.
After much fruitless searching, convinced there could be a better way, he determined to develop it. He envisioned a "Hop On, Hop Off" style shuttle service allowing people to choose from several of the hundreds of excellent wineries in the Paso area, on their own schedule, in the company of people with whom they choose to enjoy the experience.
Following some research and favorable interest from wineries, he decided to try out the concept. He mapped out a route, drove it over and over again and finally settled on the timing of each stop. With confirmation of the wineries and the interest of a close friend to help with running the business, the owner jumped in with both feet.
Realizing the environmental impact of all the driving they would be doing, the owner opted to reduce his carbon footprint and researched energy efficient transportation. Soon after, biodiesel vans were purchased, biodiesel manufacturing equipment was acquired, the necessary licensing and insurance was obtained, the advertising began and The Wine Line was born! The rest is history...
Because The Wine Line is all about options - we'd like to offer you our Wine Line Tasting Guide to Wineries of Paso Robles free of charge. Armed with this guide, it can inform you as to the wineries you may want to visit on your trip.
Please be mindful of your consumption and taste responsibly. Should we observe, or be notified by tasting room staff, anyone in your party is too intoxicated to continue we reserve the right to discontinue service and return you to your lodgings without a refund. However, we will attempt to address this before it becomes a concern, encouraging some water and food. We value your business and want your experience with The Wine Line to be overwhelmingly positive. We want you to Hop On again and again!
