Included

  • Shared or private balloon flight for two (Balloons Over Paso)
  • Sparkling toast and light bites after landing
  • Afternoon private car to two westside wineries

The Winemaker's Table

Spend an afternoon with a Paso winemaker, then sit down to dinner they've paired.

This is the one you can't book anywhere else. A winemaker friend of the house walks you through the vineyard and cellar, pulls samples straight from the barrel, and talks through how the blend comes together. In the evening, a private chef cooks a dinner paired to their wines, at the winery or at the bungalow's table.

Included

  • Private vineyard and cellar walk with the winemaker
  • Barrel tasting of unreleased wines
  • Chef-prepared paired dinner for 2–6
  • A bottle from the barrel you tasted, when it's released

September – October

Harvest Insider

Grapes coming in, crush pads humming, and a grape stomp with your name on it.

Harvest is the most exciting time to be in Paso. You'll walk a vineyard at picking time, watch a crush-pad crew sort fruit, try a punch-down, and taste fermenting juice that will be next year's wine. We'll build the weekend around Harvest Wine Month events.

Included

  • Morning on a working crush pad with a winemaker
  • Grape stomp and harvest lunch
  • Tickets to one Harvest Wine Month event
  • Private driver for the day
