Private events at the winery range from executive retreats for 10 people to receptions for 250 on the hilltop lawn, with five spaces to choose from. Opolo Vineyards sits on Vineyard Drive in the Willow Creek District, on the west side of Paso Robles, California, and runs its own inn on the vineyard.
Seminars and company events
Opolo books corporate events as well as private parties, and a corporate brochure is available on request. The Barn, for 40 to 125 people, has two 70-inch screens and suits presentations, trainings and company lunches. The Barrel Room also takes meetings, presentations and dinners. For a small leadership group, the Vineyard House hosts 10 to 40 people for meetings, trainings, executive retreats and wine-paired dinners, and part of the group can stay overnight. Company lunches and dinners can also be served on the Patio Terrace, set up for food and wine experiences.
Weddings and receptions
Wedding receptions are offered in the Barrel Room, with its barrel-lined walls, adjustable lighting and temperature control for use in any season. The Opolo Hilltop, an outdoor lawn for up to 250 guests, overlooks the vineyards and can be styled by the hosts or designed by the Opolo team. The Vineyard House is offered for bridal showers and smaller gatherings.
Rooms and capacities
The Opolo Hilltop is the largest space, with up to 250 guests outdoors. The Patio Terrace takes 50 to 180, and the full 180 only when the whole patio is booked. The Barrel Room holds up to 165 on a flexible floor plan. The Barn takes 40 to 125 and is the best equipped for presentations. The Vineyard House, the smallest, hosts 10 to 40.
Accommodation
The Vineyard House sleeps two guests and can expand to eight when combined with The Inn at Opolo. The inn stands on the Willow Creek vineyard and offers suites with in-room fireplaces, robes, and appetizers and wine, plus a made-to-order breakfast each morning. The inn does not publish its number of rooms, so a larger group will need hotels in Paso Robles as well.
Catering
Food at Opolo is built around its wines. The Patio Terrace hosts food and wine experiences, the Vineyard House serves wine-paired dinners, and the Barrel Room hosts plated winemaker dinners on the public calendar, with live music. Catering for a private event is agreed with the events team when the date is requested.
History and setting
The winery grows its grapes in the Willow Creek District and runs a busy tasting room, open daily, where reservations are recommended. The tasting area is shaded and has misting fans for hot days. The setting is rural, with vineyard views from the hilltop and the patio.
Getting there
The address is 7110 Vineyard Drive, Paso Robles, CA 93446. Paso Robles has an Amtrak station on the Coast Starlight line. The nearest commercial airport is San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport, about 30 miles to the south.
