Now you can download the San Luis Obispo Sparkling Wine Map for you to find them all: which local wineries make sparkling wine, and most important, where you can taste. Some producers don’t make enough quantity to have bubbles on a regular tasting list, but you can always ask at the winery. If they have some bubbles available; they’re likely to pour them for you. And if you like the producer’s white wines, you’ll probably like their Sparkling Wine.
Paso Robles is a large area, so make sure you pick up a Paso Robles winery map before heading out to taste some bubbly. In the San Luis Obispo Coast wine country, you can hit all the producers in one day, but it’s nearly impossible in Paso Robles.
