Jed was absolutely the best host, driver, and tour guide! And Paso Robles Wine Tours was even better than we could have hope for! We decided to celebrate my wife's birthday with a wine tour of Paso Robles during a sweltering Labor Day Weekend. We had never been to Paso Robles and did not know much about the 300 or so wineries in the area. No problem. Jed took care of everything. He asked about our interests, told us about what is available, made suggestions, and set everything up even as we were still figuring out who could join us on the tour. On the day of our tour, he picked us up in an exquisite Mercedes tour van. Asked about our music choices and shared some of his. Told us about the area, how it has evolved since he grew up there, about the wine industry and wine production processes, about the soil and climate, about the types of wines in the area, and about the many wineries, vineyards, restaurants, and other points of interest in and around Paso Robles. We stopped at Epoch, Denner, Calcareous, and Le Cuvier. All great choices for different reasons - which Jed explained when we talked earlier. When some of our wine visits went longer than expected, Jed called ahead and adjusted our appointments. Fabulous wines, beautiful settings, delicious food and pairings. And all during a record heat wave that we hardly noticed because we were having so much fun with Jed and the tour! I know this review sounds a bit over the top but we really did have a great time with Jed and Paso Robles Wine Tours. I highly recommend them to anyone going to Paso Robles. We'll be...
Read moreWe just got back from Paso where we spent 2 days wine tasting with the assistance of Paso Robles Wine Tours (PRWT). Everything was seamless from the onset, when I first contacted PRWT, until we completed our 2-day wine tasting early this week. My initial contact was with Chris then with Jed, after he returned from vacation. Both were incredibly helpful & knowledgeable. I had indicated that we had 3 'must visit' vineyards (Daou, Eberle & Epoch) and Jed suggested the other 3. His suggestions were very good - smaller vineyards but definitely worth visiting. Jed suggested that we should have lunch at Daou - stunning vineyard for lunch as it was like being in Tuscany! Jed also provided us with boxed lunches during our other tasting day. For 2 days, our guide was Emma. I cannot rave enough about her! We learned so much from this wonderful young lady - not just about wine & the region but just enjoyed talking about anything & everything with her. Emma was a ball of energy, positivity & she kept us on track (we tend to linger). She definitely helped make our tour experience much more enjoyable.
Bottomline, if you want to be stress-free and have loads of fun - PRWT is definitely the way to enjoy the wonders of...
Read morePaso Robles Wine Tours is a top notch and very professional run business! I consulted with several other tour guides prior to visiting and none of them rose to the occasion like they did. Jed was extremely knowledgeable on wineries in the area and completely planned my itinerary for my group of 14. This was not an easy task! They called several times prior to our trip to understand our wants and needs. He was able to organize 7 locations spread across 2 days, while providing great locations for us to eat our boxed lunches. He was on time every day and kept our large group moving by alerting us when it was time to wrap up and move to the next location. The large high top Ford Transit van was clean and spacious. We all had great conversations with him as we drove to each winery and were completely impressed with their service. We 100% recommend them and will use them again...
