Are you new to the Central California area? Do you want to make Paso Robles, CA your new home? You’re not alone! In the past few years, and even months, Paso Robles has been gaining media attention and public interest, and therefore expanding in a lot of exciting ways. As your Central California real estate agent, I’d like to fill you in.

Wine Enthusiast Magazine named Paso Robles as the 2013 Wine Region of the Year. With this announcement brought newfound interest from visitors and homebuyers. Paso Robles is already home to 200 tasting rooms and over 100 smaller labels.  With great wine and a growing city comes an increase in high-end restaurants and hotels.

Nice restaurants in Paso Robles have nearly doubled since 2004! Excellent, popular additions include Basil Thai, Pappy McGregor’s, Paso Terra, Il Cortile and many others. Longtime favorites that are still around include Villa Creek, Paso Robles Inn Steakhouse, Berry Hill Bistro and more.

According to the Paso Robles Wine Club, the number of visitors to Paso Robles has increased so much that visitors often need to make reservations a month in advance to secure a hotel room! Smaller B & B’s have been opening up, but many larger hotels are in the works right now, to accommodate the tourists traveling to Paso Robles.
