To do around town

The following is a list of web links and resources for fun things to do while in town.

	We list these fun here because if you are visiting from out of town and you want to spend 1-2 hours here, your loved ones may not. It is helpful for clients to either come alone or with another music lover. We have found that our clients can more leisurely enjoy their visits here if they do not have friends or family members "waiting" for them. (send them off for downtown shopping, spa massage, or wine tasting!) You may also want to build a whole weekend in the area around your visit with us. These places are based upon our own experience while visiting them ourselves. Your experience may be different so we assume no liability for your fun factor! Paso Robles has come into its own with lots of wine tasting, antique & gift shops, ballooning, concerts, spa services, and fine dining. CLICK HERE FOR LODGING RECOMMENDATIONS

Be sure to get a ride on a Pedicab! It's free and their drivers are fun, taking you to dinner, a brief tour of the city, or to us! We enjoy heading west of Paso Robles and getting lost on a leisurely drive in the countryside. Don't worry, eventually you make it back to Highway 46, 101, or 1 and with the help of a map you can get oriented to civilization again. A tour of Hearst Castle is always an adventure in opulence. Food in the Visitors' Center is minimal, marginal, and overpriced. Their website is www.hearstcastle.org
