Paso Robles is on the forefront of innovation and 2025 already holds exciting new developments! From hospitality and the arts to the outdoors and adventure, the growers and makers in Paso Robles always seek ways to delight and surprise. Here is what we’re looking forward to in Paso in 2025.
Dining & Hospitality
The past few years have seen a surge in much-needed accommodation around Paso Robles, so we’re thrilled that The Ava Hotel will be joining us! With a rooftop pool, onsite dining options, and event space, The Ava Hotel will be a welcome addition for visitors staying in Paso Robles. This 4-story hotel is planned to open in during the summer of 2025.
While the Paso Robles Inn is certainly not new – in fact, it’s one of the top historic sites in Paso! – the expansion opening in 2025 is! With an elegant ballroom and a secluded garden, Paso Robles Inn offers aunique balance of history with modern amenities for elevated occasions. The expansion includes additional rooms and event space for up to 250 guests. The Paso Robles Inn’s offerings ensure weddings, reunions, and business gatherings are luxurious and memorable.
Although locals were surprised by the closure of La Cosecha in 2024, we’re excited that S’Aranella will soon be opening in the same space! Created by Julien Asseo of the fabulous Les Petites Canailles, S’Aranella is a Spanish tapas bar and steakhouse slated to open in the beginning of the new year. Asseo’s creativity and attention detail ensures that his new venture will be a must for Paso dining!
The Arts & Entertainment
Since it first opened in 2019, Sensorio has become a destination for locals and visitors alike. It’s an immersive experience unlike any other in which guests marvel at the light installations that blanket the slopes of Paso Robles. 2025 brings the newest Brunce Munro installment at Sensorio and it’s sure to be a marvel! Fibre Optic Symphonic Orchestra, or FOSO, will open in Spring 2025 and will feature 32 columns of light composed to an exclusive score by Nainita Desai. FOSO marks the 5thinstallment by Munro at Sensorio and is sure to solidify Paso Robles as an artistic haven.
In addition to Munro’s new installment, Sensorio recently launched Radiant Rhythms on Sunday evenings. This collaboration between Sensorio and Paso’s cherished Libretto jazz club provides music by world-renowned musicians with delicious food and drinks right in the heart of Sensorio. Radiant Rhythms in a welcome addition to Paso’s arts and entertainment landscape.
Outside of collaborations, Libretto has been busy cooking up new offerings as well. 2025 will bring inventive jazz, classical, and opera performers throughout the year. This cozy, intimate space almost feels like stepping back in time and is an absolute must for music lovers. Be sure to check Libretto’s calendar and book in advance.
Also on deck for 2025 is the Paso Robles Wine Festival! Wine is, after all, one of the top draws to the region so let’s celebrate nature’s elixir with a four-day extravaganza featuring seminars, food vendors, and a grand tasting. Taste all that Paso has to offer during this fabulous event in May.
Finally, 2025 brings the return of the California Mid-State Fair! Held every summer in Paso Robles, this twelve-day celebration is filled with carnival rides, agricultural exhibits, and some of the best live music in the world! It’s one of the most anticipated events of the year and 2025 will no doubt be spectacular.
Outdoors & Adventure
Even with all of the creativity featured above, sometimes the most stunning experiences in Paso Robles are provided by Mother Nature. There are endless activities in the great outdoors here in Paso, and 2025 brings the Bovine Classic! This challenging gravel ride is rated one of the Top 10 by Bicycling Magazine, and October’s Classic will feature a cow-themed adventure that will be one for the history books.
Since so much of Paso’s fantastic offerings revolve around agriculture, it’s fantastic that growers and producers here are one the forefront of sustainability. Tablas Creek in particular has been a vanguard of eco-friendly growing practices, the winery plans to extend their sustainability practices throughout 2025.
