What do you get when you take the magnificent wineries along Hwy 46 West in Paso Robles and add in the words Backstage and Barrel? Well, you get to peek behind the curtain during the Backstage Barrel Weekend of course!
Forty-six West Wineries is a group of wineries nestled on the Westside of Paso Robles, with easy access from Hwy 46 West. This group offers a variety of wine styles and specialties that collectively demonstrate all the wonderful elements found in Paso Robles Wine Country.
Stop into any of the participating 46 West Wineries Saturday, December 28 or Sunday, December 29 and you’ll get the behind the scenes backstage tour. Meet the winemaker and taste wine right out of the barrel - before it hits the bottle! It’s really FUN and delicious. And it’s a chance to learn about the aging process of wine in a barrel. Who said learning can’t be FUN and delicious? For you inquisitive types, it’s your chance to ask all those questions about new vs. neutral, American vs. French vs. Hungarian…barrels of course.
Purchase a Backstage Barrel Pass for only $20 online. Please note that additional tasting fees may apply outside of barrel tastings. Along with the Barrel Pass you will receive a stylish commemorative wineglass to enjoy your behind the scenes barrel tastings at participating wineries all along Highway 46 West. Hope to see you there!
