🍇 Where Wine Takes You – Episode Highlights 🍷   

Greek spirit. Paso soil. A father and son chasing a dream that started generations ago, and pouring it into the Adelaida hills today.
James and Manoli Boutzoukas of Boutz Cellars are bringing real Greek wine culture to Paso Robles, planting Assyrtiko, Roditis, Agiorgitiko – and betting on tradition in a whole new land.

When your roots run deep and your dreams run wild, you don’t follow maps — you draw new ones.

This week’s Travel Paso Spotlight honors the AIDS/LifeCycle ride. A seven-day, 545-mile journey from San Francisco to Los Angeles that has included Paso Robles as a heartfelt stop for 30 years.

2025 marks the final AIDS/LifeCycle ride, and Paso gets to be part of the farewell. Thousands of riders will once again roll through our town and into our hearts before crossing the finish line on the California coast.
