About CaliPaso Winery
CaliPaso Winery at 225 Cross Street in downtown Paso Robles is a family-owned producer founded in 2010, combining California winemaking ambition with the warm, Mediterranean character of the Paso Robles appellation. The name, a portmanteau of California and Paso, reflects the winery's identity as a genuine Paso Robles wine experience accessible to both devoted wine enthusiasts and first-time visitors discovering the region.
The CaliPaso portfolio spans Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Zinfandel, reflecting the breadth of what Paso Robles does well across its diverse growing districts. The winery sources fruit from both the warmer eastern side of the appellation, where Cabernet and Zinfandel thrive on the valley floor and benchland soils, and the cooler Westside, where Grenache and Rhône blends achieve the mineral complexity and natural acidity that calcareous limestone soils deliver.
Walk-ins are welcome daily from 11am to 6pm with a $15 tasting fee, one of the most accessible entry points in the downtown Paso Robles tasting room district. The Cross Street location puts CaliPaso within easy walking distance of the city's best restaurants and other downtown tasting rooms, making it a natural stop on a day of exploring the Paso Robles urban wine scene.
"CaliPaso is Paso Robles hospitality at its most welcoming, a family winery that takes the wine seriously without making the visitor feel like they need a reservation and a credit history to walk through the door."
Wine club membership provides access to limited estate releases and priority allocation. For visitors looking for an authentic, family-owned introduction to Paso Robles wine in a convenient downtown setting, CaliPaso delivers genuine quality at genuinely accessible prices.
