Deep Arrival: 10 Things to Do in Paso Robles, Ranked

In an updated travel guide published in September 2026, Deep Arrival ranked the top ten activities and destinations in Paso Robles, highlighting route efficiency, distinctiveness, and regional character.

Tablas Creek was selected as a featured destination, earning recognition as the premier stop for visitors seeking an immersive, educational estate experience on the west side:

"Tablas Creek ranks sixth as a strong example of a west-side estate where visitors can build one focused appointment around wines, vineyard context, and the operator's current tasting formats. It works as an anchor rather than one more box on a crowded route."

The guide recommends booking in advance to explore our tasting formats and vineyard education while taking in the scenic Adelaida District.

2024 Patelin de Tablas: 93 Points and Wine Spectator "Smart Buy"

We were excited to read Senior Editor Aaron Romano's review of our 2024 Patelin de Tablas in Wine Spectator online and look forward to seeing its "Smart Buy" status in the October 31, 2026 issue. The review:

Decidedly savory yet fresh and inviting, with thyme and licorice root notes that meld with a silky core of juicy plum and wild strawberry buoyed by fresh acidity. This circles back to its opening notes on the finish around mineral-tinged tannins and a hint of cocoa powder. Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Counoise. Drink now through 2040. 4,881 cases made. 93 points.
