Paso Robles, CA - The
annual Paso Robles Wine Festival
will celebrate its 25th Anniversary

In recognition of this 25-year-old wine
tasting celebration, the Paso Robles
Wine Country Alliance is opening the
doors one hour early to those who purchase
a Silver Pass. The new limited Silver
Pass admission is $75.00 and
allows wine enthusiasts the opportunity
to experience one of the largest outdoor
wine tasting festivals in California,
a full hour before general admission

"We see this as an added value
for fans of Paso Robles Wine Country
to sample an array of their favorite
brands before the whole event,"
states Stacie Jacob, Wine Country Alliance
Executive Director. "The
Silver Pass also lends itself
to the new format of the Festival that
we introduced in 2006. Silver
Pass visitors are able to enjoy
the designated tasting area with exclusivity
and visit each tasting booth with relative
ease."
