Hold onto your wine glasses, folks, because I have some exciting news. For the first time ever, I’m hosting my Kay Syrah Signature Series Event in Paso Robles! This isn’t just any tour; it’s a unique, one-time event where grapes, grains, and the glamor of the 1930s come together for a day you’ll never forget. Join us on the exclusive Grapes & Grain Tour to experience Paso Robles like never before.

Our grape-laden journey begins at the illustrious J Dusi Wines, where the charming Janell Dusi herself will usher us into the world of “Grape to Glass.” Imagine stepping into a vine-strewn time machine that takes you back to the roaring 1920s. Janell will spill the family secrets of surviving Prohibition and guide us through the art of winemaking. We’ll sip wines through the various stages of fermentation and even get our hands dirty with the winemaking process. It’s like being part of a vineyard reality show, but with more sophisticated company.

Next up, we'll swirl our way to Opolo Vineyards, where wine meets spirits in a symphony of flavors. Here, we’ll embark on a behind-the-scenes tour of their cutting-edge distillery. Prepare to have your senses dazzled by the intricate process of distilling premium spirits amidst the backdrop of verdant vines. And what’s a Kay Syrah tour without a feast? Get ready to indulge in a gourmet lunch complete with fresh salads, artisanal pizzas, and the legendary Tobago sausage—all paired to perfection with Opolo’s finest wines and spirits.

But the corks don’t stop popping there. Our grand finale will whisk us away to the heart of downtown Paso Robles, where the 1930s-inspired speakeasy, Eleven Twenty-Two, awaits. Step into this chic hideaway and sip on a signature Grapeline cocktail crafted just for us. It’s the perfect swanky end to our day of vintage adventures and modern luxuries.

This unique tour is designed for those who cherish not just the taste of fine wine, but the stories that ferment beneath the surface of each vintage. It’s a day to indulge in the pleasures of the palate and the intrigues of history, a chance to interact with the landscapes and personalities that shape Paso Robles wine country.

With only 28 seats available for this exclusive experience, you’ll want to snag your spot before it disappears faster than a bottle of Cab at a family reunion. If you're ready to mix a little history with your wine, and a touch of spirit with your sips, join us and let’s make some pour decisions together in the enchanting Paso Robles. See you there!
