Meetings, private meals and wine tastings for groups of 8 to 100 take place in three spaces at the Paso Robles tasting room of San Antonio Winery, on Highway 46 East in the wine country of California's Central Coast. Each event comes with full food and beverage service from the on-site kitchen.
Seminars and company events
The winery lists meetings, meal service and wine tastings as the main uses of its private spaces. A team lunch, a client dinner or a half-day meeting followed by a guided tasting fits the format well. Staff help plan the event and shape a menu around the group. The private spaces are also booked for holiday parties, and the winery notes that availability for the season is limited, so year-end dates are worth securing early. For a group larger than these rooms allow, the family directs organisers to its Riboli Family Winemaking and Events Center, a separate facility with its own booking page.
Rooms and capacities
The Heritage Room seats up to 32 guests around a fireplace, with lighting that can be adjusted to the occasion. It can be combined with the Atrium Dining Room for a larger party. The Atrium Dining Room, recently renovated, holds up to 85 guests and looks out over a creek bed and oak trees. The Patio Alfresco is the outdoor option, for up to 60 guests, and is offered all year. The winery states an overall range of 8 to 100 guests for private events at this location, and the tasting room itself can host groups of 10 to 100.
Catering
Food comes from Maddalena, the Italian bistro on site, which serves fresh pasta, pizza, salads and sandwiches. Private events include full food and beverage service, with a menu built for the group. Tastings draw on estate wine flights from the family's vineyards in Paso Robles and Monterey. The Riboli family produces several labels, among them Maddalena, Stella Rosa, San Simeon and Highlands 41, and a gift center sells wine accessories, glassware and gourmet food.
History and setting
San Antonio Winery is a family business run by the Riboli family, which also operates tasting rooms in Los Angeles and in Ontario, California. The Paso Robles site combines a tasting room, the bistro, the gift center and private event spaces under one roof, with an outdoor patio. The tasting room is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm except Tuesdays, and the bistro also closes on Tuesdays. The site closes on Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day, which matters when planning a date.
Getting there
The winery stands at 2610 Buena Vista Drive, Paso Robles, CA 93446, on Highway 46 East, the road that links Paso Robles to the vineyards east of town. Paso Robles has an Amtrak station on the Coast Starlight line, and San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport is the nearest commercial airport. Most groups arrive by car or chartered coach.
