🍇 Where Wine Takes You - Episode Highlights 🍷 In this episode of Where Wine Takes You, we’re exploring new ways to experience Paso Robles beyond the tasting room. Adam sits down with Kristina Horton, owner of Toast Tours, who is redefining how visitors sip and explore Paso with guided wine tours, insider experiences, and now, a Tin City Walking Tour. Joining the conversation is Steffi Terizzi, the force behind Etto Pasta Bar and Giornata Winery, blending authentic Italian flavors with the Paso wine scene. From expertly curated wine adventures to handmade pasta, these two are bringing fresh energy to Paso’s food and wine culture. In Paso Wine Wire, we highlight two big moments from the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance Gala—the Dusi Family being honored for 100 years of farming in Paso Robles, and Randy & Jenny Heinzen being named Wine Industry Persons of the Year for their work in sustainable vineyard management. Plus, we take a look at DAOU Vineyards’ new partnership with the Dallas Open, bringing Paso wine to the pro tennis world. In the Travel Paso Spotlight, we wrap up Part 2 of VineCycle Tours, riding through the vineyards on an eBike, and then we chat with Gillian Beltran of the Paso Robles Inn about the hotel’s rich history and exciting renovations.
