Last Call... Reserve Your Paso Robles Wine Vacation with The Gifted Cork



I've been working hard putting together our 2025 Paso Robles Wine tour, and there are a lot of special surprises in store. This is our fifth year of tours for Gifted Cork Tours.

The first week's tour is completely sold out. We are taking reservations for the second tour in August; Tuesday, August 12th (starting at 10am), from San Francisco near the airport, to Sunday, August 17th. We are staying at the beautiful Inn at Summerwood Winery, which is in the center of the city, with beautifully appointed rooms with balconies, afternoon reception, made-to-order breakfast, robes, high-end toiletries, and a beautiful sight to wake up to every morning.

The wineries are varied. I've been researching them (over 200) and am narrowing the list. Some of the wineries considered are Justin, Tablas Creek, J Lohr, Halter Ranch, Daou, Opolo, Booker, Austin Hope, Peachy Canyon, Robert Hall, EOS, and Eberle. These are not firm and there are a few others I'm looking into.

Tours are limited to eight guests. Our trip will consist of 12 wine tastings, a tour of Hearst Castle, and some very highly rated restaurants. On Thursday of that week, there is a free concert in the park, and I will arrange blankets for everyone's comfort.

This tour is $2300 per person, based on double occupancy, including four nights at the beautiful Inn on a vineyard (single occupancy accommodations are available at an upcharge). The fifth night included in the tour will be at a Marriot property near SFO. This tour also includes transportation throughout the tour (airfare is not included), 12 winery tastings, breakfast each morning, tour of Hearst Castle, and all gratuities for wineries. Lunch and dinner will be paid for by my guests at highly rated restaurants we visit together, and transfers to the starting hotel are not included. Optional insurance is available at an upcharge.

Reserve your space NOW. The tour is closing out by March 31st. Your nonrefundable deposit may be dropped off or mailed to the store and made out to The Gifted Cork for $300 per person. The final balance will be due June 1st. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at the store; (904) 810-1083.
