Private Sidecar Winery Tour through San Luis Obispo

Date nights can be tough to plan sometimes. We have always loved visiting wine country, tasting its rich history, and enjoying the freedom of the backroads on a motorcycle. We figured why not give someone else the opportunity to experience all of the things we love in a new way! So, we decided to modify the standard motorcycle sidecar to accommodate two passengers and now we have the world’s first and only tandem sidecars, which is one of the things that makes us so special. Our goal is to give winery goers a unique, fun, and intimate way to get to know this beautiful wine region with our knowledgeable drivers. We don’t want to be just another mode of transportation between wineries. We want to immerse our guests in San Luis Obispo's culture, history, and how it became what it is today.

Drive Paso Robles yourself, with a GPS audio guide that plays automatically as you go. Your booking unlocks the whole region in the free Wine Trails app: pick your date and starting point — Downtown Paso Robles, Templeton or San Luis Obispo — choose the cellar doors you want from 61 across the region, and the app builds your personal route with turn-by-turn narration. 82 stories cover California's wild west of wine: as you climb Highway 46 West past L'Aventure you'll hear how Stephan Asseo walked away from twenty years in Saint-Emilion because French law would not let him blend Cabernet with Syrah — so he came here and did. No group, no schedule, no guide — pause for a long lunch, replay anything, and the audio keeps working when the signal drops out on Adelaida Road. You'll need a car and a designated driver; tastings are booked and paid directly with the wineries.
