Corporate meetings, team retreats, client dinners, multi-day destination weddings and family celebrations can be organized here for up to 250 guests indoors, or up to 500 when the indoor rooms are combined with the covered verandas. Cass Winery is a wine estate with a 145-acre vineyard in the Geneseo district east of Paso Robles, California, with its own inn, café and catering team.
Seminars and company events
Corporate bookings cover meetings, team-building and retreats, and they come with a full equipment list: Wi-Fi, a Sonos and surround-sound system, a projector and large screen, LED panels, a 9-by-9-foot stage and a podium. Tables for every format, from 72-inch rounds to farmhouse and cocktail tables, plus 400 chairs and linens, are included. Between sessions, the Camp Cass program supplies group activities: wine blending competitions, wine and cheese pairing, cooking classes, olive oil tasting, paint and sip, archery, ax throwing, sidecar tours, trail rides and photo scavenger hunts. A Camp Cass manager builds the itinerary, either for the whole group or in rotating smaller teams.
Weddings and receptions
Cass has hosted weddings since 2002. Ceremonies take place in the vineyard, on the verandas or under the oak tree, and receptions usually move to the Barrel Room, which has space for dancing and views over the vines. Couples can book a single event or a full wedding weekend, with the Geneseo Inn reserved for the group. The getting-ready suite sits at the far end of the inn, above the vines, with large vanities and private decks. Venue coordinators work alongside the couple's planner and the banquet staff.
Rooms and capacities
Indoors, the Barrel Room holds 250, the Banquet Hall and the Foyer 80 each, and the Library and the Cellar Door 24 each. Outdoors, the Picnic Area and the Twin Oaks take 200 each, and the space In the Vines takes 100. The covered Verandas and Oak Tree area holds 260, which is the fallback for outdoor plans.
Accommodation
The Geneseo Inn, opened in 2020 behind the Barrel Room, has eight rooms built from recycled shipping containers, including one suite with a sofa bed. It sleeps eight in single occupancy or 16 in double. The Cass Farmhouse adds three bedrooms, a living room with a sleeper sofa and a full kitchen. Inn stays include breakfast, and groups planning a multi-day buyout get booking priority before rooms open to the public.
Catering
Catering is in-house and full service, on site or off site. The kitchen works in a farm-to-table wine country style, with set menus or a custom menu designed with the executive chef. Breakfast, lunch and dinner can be served as a buffet, family style or plated. The estate's own wines are poured, and a café and tasting room is open daily.
History and setting
The estate sits at about 900 feet above the Huer Huero River and is certified as a California Sustainable Vineyard. The inn runs on solar power, has an EV charger at each parking space and waters its gardens with recycled winery water.
Getting there
The address is 7350 Linne Road, Paso Robles. The Inn and the Barrel Room use the stone-wall entrance, separate from the tasting room gate. Paso Robles has an Amtrak station on the Coast Starlight line, and San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport is about 30 miles south.
