Seniors Explore Paso Robles

Paso Robles is a city in San Luis Obispo County, California. Located on the Salinas River north of San Luis Obispo, the city is known for its hot springs, its abundance of wineries, production of olive oil, almond orchards, and for playing host to the California Mid-State Fair. Sounds like a good start for a senior vacation in Paso Robles already, doesn’t it?

From its beginnings, Paso Robles (residents call it simply PASS-oh) and its oak-tree-studded hill country have been a destination for senior visitors. In the early days, they came to dip in the area’s natural hot springs and they still do, but today they often come to sip away in the area’s winery tasting rooms. Today a throng of senior visitors find a charming, lively downtown surrounded by a wine region.

El Paso de Robles: ‘The Pass of the Oaks’

The “Official” website for Paso Robles starts off with Wine and Wine Touring, so I guess we can figure on some great wineries and wine sampling.  Did someone say, “Tell me more about  the wine”? 26,000 vineyard acres, over 200 wineries and a wine trail just awaiting your visit.

Wine may be the star attraction in Paso Robles, but it is far from the lone attraction. Indeed, the little city (30,065) boasts a wide range of family-friendly experiences from cultural to recreational.

Downtown Paso is a marvel. Senior visitors are invited to enjoy the experience of walking the National Award Winning authentic downtown. A number of wineries have tasting rooms on the streets surrounding the park, and you could easily make an afternoon  visiting them, with no worries about driving. Just imagine 41 wine tasting experiences.

Paso Robles has a host of activities to keep the senior vacationer engaged and busy.  Activities range from ballooning to wine tasting. Paso Robles hosts the California Mid-State Fair and a number of venues throughout the year. Biking, ballooning, golf, hiking and horseback riding are among the recreational opportunities available to the outdoor senior enthusiast.

Seniors Enjoy Paso

You will leave Paso Robles just as many others have… wanting to come back for more. In downtown Paso Robles at Park Street and 12th Street is a small kiosk where you can view and pick up visitors material. The local Chamber of Commerce notes that this is where wine, culinary delights and the art of living is well defined and each season holds a story waiting to unfold.

Life is relaxed, lived at a time where tables are set with care, and fine wine and food are created from the gifts of the vineyards and gardens.Paso is only an hour away from the Pacific Ocean. So bring along your tired bones and bodies and try out one of the many healing hot springs.
