Private charter to & from Paso Robles

Paso Robles sits roughly halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco in northern San Luis Obispo County, and over the past few decades it has grown into one of California’s most important wine regions, with more than 200 wineries spread across rolling oak-studded hills. Hot days and cool nights favor Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and the Rhône varieties that wineries such as Tablas Creek helped bring to the area. Ranching, almonds, olive oil and hospitality round out the local economy, and the historic downtown square has filled with restaurants and tasting rooms.

The drive from either Los Angeles or the Bay Area takes three to four hours, which can turn a short wine weekend into mostly time on U.S. 101. Paso Robles Municipal Airport is just east of town, a few minutes from downtown and the wineries along Highway 46. A private flight lets you arrive for an afternoon tasting on the Westside and spend the next day on the coast, where Hearst Castle, Cambria and the elephant seals near San Simeon are under an hour away.
