Party at the winery: Harvest Wine Weekend is still a ways out for Paso Robles (Oct. 20 to 22), but the wineries are celebrating early! This Sept. 23, Croad Vineyards is all geared up for a sausage sizzle, and Four Lanterns Winery is hosting a night of classical music, and on Sept. 24 Allegretto Vineyard Resort (which has its own vineyards on site) will feature a mix of bubbles, brunch, and yoga (for all events leading up to Harvest Fest Weekend, visit pasowine.com).
