Paso Robles food and wine destination opens doors for weddings, fundraisers, and
gatherings of all sizes in a modern wine country setting
September 29, 2025 (Paso Robles, CA) — Vina Robles, a Paso Robles winery and tasting room, today announced the official launch of its new event space program, opening its landmark property to gatherings ranging from intimate dinners to large-scale celebrations.
Already set to host high-profile community events such as Must! Charities’ The Pitch and Lumina Alliance’s three-day Dancing with Our Stars fundraiser in spring 2026, Vina Robles is also available for rehearsal dinners, holiday parties, anniversaries, corporate meetings, and more.
“Paso Robles has become a destination not just for wine, but for the moments people want to celebrate,” said Nina Leschinsky, Director of Operations at Vina Robles. “We designed this space to rise to that occasion — whether it’s a rehearsal dinner under soaring ceilings, a fundraiser energized by live music, or a holiday party where the pizza oven becomes the centerpiece. It’s modern and flexible, but also deeply rooted in the hospitality traditions that define Paso. The goal is simple: to make every gathering feel unforgettable.”
Conveniently located just off Highway 101 at the gateway to the 46 West Wine Trail, the 20,000-square-foot tasting room blends modern industrial design with the warmth of wine country. The space features a central tasting bar, intimate lounges, mezzanine library lounge, a communal table, and décor crafted from reclaimed wine barrels. Roll-up garage doors and a spacious outdoor patio allow for seamless indoor-outdoor gatherings, while ample parking makes hosting simple.
Event space options include:
- Conference Room – private day-use space for up to 10 guests
- Mezzanine – semi-private cocktail setting for up to 75 guests
- Tasting Room Lounge & Patio – flexible indoor-outdoor space for up to 350 guests
- Full Property Buyout – available upon request
Vina Robles’ culinary program is led by acclaimed Chef Nicola Allegretta, offering Italian-inspired menus with global influences, including custom Peruvian dishes. At the heart of the kitchen is a hand-built Neapolitan pizza oven crafted by third-generation artisan Stefano Ferrara in Quarto, Italy. Constructed brick by brick using traditional methods, the oven is considered one of the world’s finest tools for authentic wood-fired cooking. More than a striking centerpiece, it anchors the tasting room with both visual drama and culinary credibility.
Together with a curated wine program that includes selections from across the CMB Family of Wines portfolio, Vina Robles offers an elevated yet approachable backdrop for Paso Robles’ next generation of events.
