Local winery ranks No. 2 in national tour poll

Raise a glass, Paso — our own Hawks Hill Ranch just landed at No. 2 in a national tour poll, the highest showing of any winery on the Central Coast. That's no small feat for a spot tucked into our westside hills, and it says a lot about the quality this community has been quietly cultivating for years.

Anyone who lives here knows Paso isn't just a wine region — it's a town of growers, pourers, and neighbors who show up for each other. Seeing a local name climb a national list, as the Paso Robles Daily News reported, feels like a win for every tasting room and vineyard crew on the 805.

So next time you're out on Adelaida Road, stop in and congratulate them. Better yet, bring a friend from out of town and let the wine do the talking. Cheers to Hawks Hill — and to putting Paso Robles on the map, one bottle at a time.
