We’ve done several rides with CCT, and as usual Brian and Crystal provided yet another great ride on and around the property of Cass Winery. We got to our meetup location a few minutes early and they had all horses off their trailers, saddled up, and all ready for all of us riders to arrive. They seem to know how to chose the right horse for the right rider: experienced or inexperienced, adult or kid. The ride around the winery offers some pretty spectacular views and the ride included some “technical” aspects that keeps it from being a boring “nose-to-tail, all-in-one-line” ride. If you’re looking for this kind of adventure while in the area, you can best bet you won’t be disappointed.

We stopped in on a whim and were given a delightful tour by a very pleasant and knowledgeable docent. Lots of interesting things to see and very manageable size.

5. Estrella Warbird Air Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 228 reviews
Estrella Warbirds Museum is dedicated to the restoration and preservation of military aircraft, vehicles and memorabilia of those who flew and worked in the military aviation field. Our approach, however, is not to glorify conflict but rather to make a future generation aware of the fact our way of life does not come without sacrifice. Founded over 25 years ago by two men with two airplanes and a strong desire to see an aviation museum in Paso Robles, California, little did they realize how far and how rapidly their initial dream would carry them. Today, located on over 13 acres of land, situated on the Paso Robles Municipal Airport grounds, the Estrella Warbirds Museum is one of the fastest growing non-profit museum on the west coast. The museum has become an intregral part of the Paso Robles community attracting visitors from around the world.

I have been to several museums such as this around the world and this is truly one of the best. It has a very large collection of historical documentation, transportation vehicles, war memorabilia, etc. in a very compact space and yet if feels like it goes on forever. I would definitely take the time away from wine tasting in the area to visit this great find. Seniors do get a discount and it's worth every penny even if you don't.

After a day of wine tasting and some dinner to follow, take a nice stroll through the park, it hosts events at different points of the year. Great for kids.

OK, you might feel a tiny bit guilty to take a little pleasure trip, but this is worth it! The venue is in Paso Robles and the event is a unique new large-scale art installation, "Sensorio" by Bruce Munro. It's an amazing success, a huge display of solar-powered lights that absolutely overflow throughout a large canyon and fields. The lights change color in slowly rolling waves and the effect is spellbinding, an immersive light show that overwhelms the senses. The installation is as COVID-safe as they can be, with limited attendance, mandatory masks for everyone, social distancing, and 1-way walking paths. We held our breath for this 1st getaway of the new normal, and it was really worth it! Highly recommended. NOTE 1: Limited time offer, limited ticket availability, especially on weekends, If you want to go, book it soon with a VIP admission. NOTE 2: You must find the entrance in the daylight! Your GPS will NOT lead you to Sensorio, it will send you into some remote residential area! Look for a turnoff from Hwy 46, but with an UNLIGHTED sign. ENJOY the show!
