El Paso de Robles, Paso Robles, or “Paso” as locals say, has a rich history steeped in agriculture and has long been known as a destination location for visitors from across the west and California. Revered for its hot springs that beckoned the likes of Polish dignitary Ignacy Jan Paderewski and others for its healing powers, Paso Robles is recognized as a world-class destination location. Historically known for its thriving almond and wine industries, Paso Robles steadily became recognized as a world-class winegrowing location and continues to attract visitors.
To this day, people seek out Paso Robles for its rustic charm, wine country flare, ideal climate, recreational opportunities, retirement, employment, business opportunities and unparalleled quality of life. Ideally situated midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, Paso Robles is just a short drive away from these metropolitan areas and continues to attract visitors from both north and south for these reasons.
