Colonel Juan Bautista de Anza led more than 240 colonists and all their livestock through this area - part of a journey from Mexico to San Francisco. The trail is also part of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail. Walkers stroll the Salinas River Walk path in Paso Robles. The riverine habitat is a great place to look for migrating birds, which frequent the area in winter and spring. The trail is flat and wheelchair accessible, and the picturesque walk gives visitors the opportunity to slow down and enjoy the sounds of songbirds among the trees and brush that also provide a habitat for mule deer and other wildlife. Stretch your legs after your ride on the Salinas River Walk, a 2-mile trail that’s one of the first sections of a planned 30-mile river trail extending from Santa Margarita in the south to San Miguel. Go as fast or slow as you want, drop into tasting rooms on a whim, let breathe the fresh air, and discover your own Paso. They’ll be delivered to your hotel, and you can take yourself and your picnic on the road. If you’d rather blaze your own trail, snag takeaway lunch provisions at Di Raimondo’s Italian Market & Cheese Shop, and rent bikes from Paso Bike Tours. Tours run about 5.5 hours, and include about three winery visits and a gourmet picnic lunch. Paso Bike Tours offers guided tours that start at your hotel and roll through the hills, vineyards, and oak-lined country roads of Paso Robles. Take a tour of local wineries by bike to get a lay of the land (and taste of some wines). And if your tastes lean to the sweet side, the bakery can provide you with cookies, scones, and nut breads to eat now or save for later. Kids get to enjoy a farm wonderland, with animal viewing, a hay maze and wooden train, sawhorse broncos and water pump barrels like old farm days.
Is that’s a little too much exertion, honey and cider tasting can easily be done while seated. Depending on the season, pick your own produce - anything from sweet onions to garlic, berries to lavender, peaches to plums, and tomatoes to apples. If your food habits are somewhere between “forage” and “five star,” head over to Jack Creek Farms to get a feel for what’s fresh.
