Feedback from our Campers:

“I am in love with Paso. It’s such a beautiful community. I will definitely come back and work hard to promote Paso wines moving forward!”

“I learned a great deal about the region and it was very helpful as we work to ensure appropriate representation on our lists. The wines were more greatly varied than expected. I also found Paso to be very approachable, unpretentious, and appealing to visit, and would not hesitate to recommend it. I should have extended the trip to get to enjoy it further, but work presses on.”

“The people representing Paso Robles wines are genuine and truly care about their products, the land, the people and their consumers. Take the time to learn the magic of this special place.”

“Very enlightening to see the emphasis on quality & sustainability by seemingly the entire appellation!”

“The panels were really great. I learned a lot as well. I appreciated the fact that everything discussed was super “nerdy” and technical. It was on our level, not dumbed down.”

“There wasn't anything I didn't like on this trip.”

“THANK YOU for hosting us!!!! I will be recommending colleagues to apply for next year. This was such a valuable experience and I am so grateful to have attended.”

“Super solid and well-executed educational travel event. 10/10 would recommend.”

"It's a beautiful place and everyone's extremely passionate about what they do...[ the sense of community] is incredibly genuine and palpable." -Cassandra Kessman, Wine Director, Blacksburg Wine Lab, Blacksberg, VA

"For [ the producers here ] to be so dialed [ into sustainable practices ], it is really impressive. They're willing to do this because it is better for the earth; it is not necessarily the easiest choice, but they are willing to make the hard choices." - Kate McGrath, Owner, The Railpenny Tavern, Brentwood, NH

"The major takeaway I got was... how everyone helps each other out and has each other's back. I love the love that they all embrace each other. It helps me [ in that ] no matter what Paso wine we feature, I feel good about it." - William Foster, General Manager, PY Steakhouse at Casino del Sol, Tuscon, AZ

"Coming to recognize how much community there is here really speaks volumes about not only the wine that comes out of here but also the people who produce it... I think it is going to be important to translate that back to my team, who will in turn translate that back to our guests. Washington D.C. is a very international city, and while there are a lot of appreciated wine regions that people ask for... I think there's going to be a lot of gravitation toward Paso Robles. I already support it on my list, but there are so many different things where I'm like, 'How can I [incorporate] this into my by-the-glass program to introduce people to it in a more approachable way?" -Marc Rios, General Manager, Food and Beverage Outlets, Marriott International/Westin Washington D.C. Downtown Hotel, Washinton D.C.

"When we are tableside or training our teams when we are opening up someone's eyes about Paso, they're then going to tell ten, 20 more people and it's just going to expand. Who needs a $500 Napa Cab when you can have an outstanding $85, $90  Paso Cab? And I am from Southern California- I can be here in three hours... So now's the time to come and explore." - Christopher Moran, General Manager, Club 33, the Walt Disney Company, Anaheim, CA

"I'm trying to...broaden horizons and let people know that Napa, Bordeaux, and Italy aren't the only areas. What I've learned in the last four days is a lifetime of learning what most people expect in their operations... I'm more excited to go back now because of the knowledge I/ve obtained." - Peter Dones, General Manager, Morton's The Steakhouse 5th Avenue, New York, NY
