Al Lago Wines

A Scenic Sip Before the Show

Set in the picturesque hills of Paso Robles, Al Lago Wines offers a serene escape just a short drive from the area's top concert venues. This boutique winery is known for its small-lot, handcrafted wines and laid-back, welcoming vibe. With sweeping lake views and a tranquil outdoor patio, it’s the perfect place to kick off your concert night in style.

Why Concert-goers love it

Al Lago Wines is ideal for a pre-show wind down. While it’s not a full-service restaurant, its relaxed pace and scenic setting make it a fantastic stop for wine lovers looking to enjoy a glass or tasting flight before heading into town. The low noise level and peaceful outdoor seating area offer a nice contrast to the energy of the night ahead, and its proximity to downtown Paso Robles means you won’t be far from most venues.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Couples looking to enjoy a romantic sunset tasting
• Solo travelers who want a quiet, relaxing spot before the show
• Groups of friends looking to start their night with a toast
• Wine-loving fans who want to pair music with a local pour
• Budget-conscious concert-goers who appreciate no-frills, quality wine experiences

What People Say

Guests rave about the personal touch from the owners, the beautiful lake views, and the calm, uncrowded atmosphere. Many reviewers mention that it feels like visiting a friend’s home rather than a commercial tasting room—perfect for those who prefer a more intimate wine experience. The wine itself gets high marks, especially the bold reds and crisp whites.

Areas for Improvement

Because Al Lago is a small, family-run operation, it’s best to check hours in advance—tastings are often by appointment only. There's no food menu, so don’t come hungry. Also, it’s a few minutes’ drive from downtown, so plan your timing if you're headed to a show.

The Bottom Line

Al Lago Wines is a peaceful, picturesque pre-concert stop for wine lovers who want to sip and unwind before the music begins.
