Stopped by Nix Wine Tasting Room in Tin City and it was one of the highlights of our Paso trip. The space is beautiful with a really great vibe, but the best part was Nicole. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tasting really fun. The wines were excellent--honestly even better than we expected--and we ended up loving everything we tried. If you're wine tasting in Paso Robles, this is definitely a must stop in Tin City. Great wine, beautiful atmosphere, and amazing service. We'll definitely be back! read more

Tin City - Old Fashioned - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Paso Robles, California

We saw the documentary on Netflix and were already planning a trip to Paso. Put Tin City at the top of our list! Parking was easy ( it was a Thursday) Had fun walking around, the Italian place was super cute! Loved the brewery! Everyone was friendly ice cold beers & great micro brews. Their smash burger & fries .... So tastee! Nix winery was fun and friendly. The distillery was interesting. Our server didn't seem like he wanted to help us, but wanted to hang out with the group of regulars. Made us not really want to buy a bottle. Can't wait to go back to the brewery especially for some live music! Oh all the places are pet friendly! read more

Nice place, lots of cute eateries and beer/ olive oil, pizza stuff, great to hang out with a bunch of friends.

TIN CITY just south of Paso Robles California is an industrial park full of wineries, distilleries and breweries and restaurants all back to back shoulder to shoulder. An easy walk, but it'll take you all day if you're sampling wine. Bring money and have fun read more

On our road trip decided to stop here. This is a must see. I wish I had more time here but it was later in the day. Such a cute little town to visit. With wine on one side of the street and distillery's on the other. There are also a few shops to check out too. We walked around and there is a distillery on every corner. We didn't get to try any beer but we bought some to take home. I will definitely go back when I have a little more time but this is a must see if you are in the area and like distilleries and wine and such. I can't wait to go back! read more

Tin City is a small collection of breweries, a distillery, and a winery (I believe). I originally thought it would be a lot bigger with more breweries to check out, but after exploring this time around, I was a bit disappointed. It definitely has potential though -- if it grows, it could be such a fun spot for visitors to hop around and explore. Overall, still nice to have experienced it! read more

Fun place with many choices for food and drinks. Lots of outdoor spaces for gatherings of all sizes.

Quality/Quantity - Approximately 40 businesses. But really known for the wineries, wine tasting rooms, distillery, breweries, eateries, pop-ups, etc. See picture of directory, website, etc. My favorite place to visit is the Barrel House Brewing Co.; see other review. Atmosphere - Cool hip place to visit. A must visit when in the area. Service - Good, sales driven. Price - Fair, slightly above average, but you are paying for the atmosphere. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since the 1920's. Thanks for keeping up with the times. This is a fun area to visit. read more

What a neat place! Surprised to only discover this after many years of visiting here annually! Collection of around 25-30 wineries and other small businesses in what used to be a tire factory? We visited several days in a row checking out the restaurants, small shops (cheese, bread, pastas) and many wineries. Was not crowded at all on the weekdays that we visited and finding parking was no problem. Only thing missing is that their website shows there is EV charging and even Google maps shows 2-3 chargers in the vicinity but we could not locate and the 1 unit we found seemed like we were trespassing into a businesses' garage! read more

Had always gone to the brewery across the street and had missed out on this hidden Gem as we were always there too early. Finally got the opportunity to come here during a vacation last year and has become a regular destination. First off join the bootlegger club. A couple of weeks we got to attend their appreciation event and they do a really nice event for members. The bbq was top notch. The staff here is what sets this place apart. They really help with finding you the right drink. They turned me onto drink I never imagined I would like such as their Fig Brandy and Chocolate Vodka. I really love their old fashioned. If you want excellent service and a nice adult beverage it's worth a stop! read more

Great little area with wineries, distilleries and food locations. Plenty of area parking with area to walk, shop and enjoy!

Tin City is an absolute must visit when in the Paso Robles area. There's a documentary on Tin City on Amazon Prime which is worth a watch after visiting. The area is a gathering of large Tin buildings housing: Wineries, Breweries and local food joints. This Tin City visit consisted of stops at: Benom Wine - See Yelp review =) Aaron Wine - See Yelp review =) Negranti Creamery - impromptu visit. The service was quick and friendly for a mid afternoon Ice Cream treat. We strolled around to peep out future places to visit. We'll focus on breweries and ciders on the next one. Cheers! read more

The good: Olive de oro girl was very friendly and we purchased several items and had some wine. Wish there were little shops but all mostly wine tasting. Not impressed wouldn't turn. read more

The restaurants and wineries are awesome. Had a wonderful experience with friends. Do not pass this up.

A hidden city in Paso Robles or maybe not that hidden but definitely a place from the outside looks ordinary! Good spots Tried Barrelhouse and Negranti Creamery read more

We didn't care for the warehouse vibe but that's our fault. We expected something different. Didn't care for the atmosphere ( not cozy) hard to find parking, not a cute place. Flip side is you can try lots of wine, cheese, creameries with some walking. If that's your thing. Service was friendly & good most places. read more

Jamie W. and I were tooling down to Paso Robles to see the Sensorio light display that evening. We had a lot of time to kill, and we discovered that unless you're a world-class wino, there wasn't that much to do unless you want to go to the coast or head to SLO. So that's how we ended up in Tin City. It's described on their website as an "evolving industrial makers market nestled amongst the oaks where friends, adventurers, and aficionados come together to partake in craft wine, beer and spirits". I'm not sure what that means, but I assumed that a bunch of people get drunk and what evolves is their lack of sobriety. When we arrived, it did look like an industrial park without an obvious parking lot. That wasn't a problem since there was plenty of street parking. It was desolate at 2PM. We walked around the buildings which had tasting rooms but no customers. We aren't connoisseurs, so ended up at Tin City Cider (review: https://bit.ly/3iETTDB). Not wine and not bad. Just hard cider and short of a buzz. We made our way to Negranti Creamery, and their artisan ice cream was likely the high point. (review: https://bit.ly/3ZH5LFl). Speaking of which, we didn't see that much we would consider family-friendly. Maybe the outdoor beer garden at Barrelhouse, but there was still beer. RELATED - Exploring California's Central Coast?

Great wine.. Great people Service is great and love hearing all about there winery and wine maker. Great price range also! read more

Very cool place with lots to see and do, but food, beer and spirits oriented. Lots of breweries, few distlleries, olive oil, ice cream in a neat location. But be prepared to walk as its spread over a large area. Well worth a visit. read more

I have been to tin city twice. The first time was with a big group of friends for a birthday event. The environment was highly social, there were lots of games to play and we took lots of great photos. I liked that the space was both Indoor and Outdoor. The second time I went, I went by myself. During the day, the location is really enjoyable for a casual walk. I found some of the locations to be difficult to find and parking was tight. I still could not find the pasta, so I settled for a hotdog and I thought that it was mediocre to pour quality but expensive. I really enjoyed the service that I received at the ice cream bar. They had a vegan flavor available and I was able to take my leftovers to go. I noticed that a lot of the locations were meant to be family friendly. I thought it was kind of a weird combination, considering the space is mostly tasting rooms for wine and cider. However, there was signage posted to make sure that the children behaved. read more

Tin City is one of the hottest new, up and coming places in Paso Robles. It's located in an industrial center with over 20 wineries, craft beer, cider, and local food produced in SLO County. You can find local food trucks at BarrelHouse Brewing Co and Tin City Cider. Almost all the tasting rooms are converted shipping containers or warehouses, giving it a fun and unique experience as you walk through the man-made "tin" city to visit the various vendors. Since the reopening post-COVID, most places are reservation only with some exceptions for walk-ins. There are a lot of different places to see and it can get a little overwhelming, so plan to spend a few days at Tin City alone if you're trying to hit every spot. Places to Visit: ONX, Nicora, Jacob Toft, Desparada, BarrelHouse Brewing Co, Tin City Cider Co, Negranti Creamery read more

What a neat concept! Wine? Beer? Craft Oils, Vinegars and Ciders? A place to chill on an unassuming day. A place to host a party. A place to learn of the MANY new wineries and wine producers in the Paso region. A Place! A Place! There are at least 40 entities housed in the Tin City Block. I'm guessing it's been named Tin City because most of the structures are made with tin sidings. Please know there are eateries (McPhea's and Negranti for starters) and the brewery with snacks and a pretzel place and much more. I would suggest you go in the early spring or autumn when the weather is more conducive to strolling and grazing. I can imagine in the triple digit degree days, it might be a bit overwhelming. Located between the City of Paso Robles and Atascadero off Hwy 101 read more

Tin City was very cool! It was super cute and very fun. All walkable with a TON of wineries and breweries all next to each other. Some places have food and some don't, but there's definitely enough food in the area to stop in somewhere whenever you're hungry. read more

Tin City - Map of Tin City establishments! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Where can you find wine tasting rooms, breweries and a distillery all in one place? Tin City offers all of the above plus a few restaurants and an ice cream shop. Just park within the area and walk to the different places. We spent an afternoon there and found it very convenient to get tasters and food. Tin City is definitely family friendly with lots of parents pushing strollers. There were a couple of bachelorette parties there too. While most establishments were open, some were open by appointment only. You may want to check the hours of each on their own website beforehand. Some highlights include: - Tin City Cider: various flavor combos of ciders. Cans and liters are available for purchase and the Honest juice boxes are free for the kids! - McPhee's Canteen: good place to grab some food. Great customer service and we enjoyed eating near the waterfall in their courtyard. - Wine Shine / Tin City Distillery: There are a variety of cocktails you can get along with some tasters, but only one cocktail or one flight per person. read more

I suppose this would be a great place if you're into wine or beer. We found ourselves here while visiting Paso Robles and had some time to waste before lunch on a Monday. The ambiance is nice, as is the architecture. It was a nice walk around the "loop" before the restaurant opened for lunch. I respect what they did with the place and imagine it would really hopping (pun intended) on a Friday night -- though I cannot imagine where everyone would park. But coming here before lunch was a bit of a disappointment. Outside of beer and wine, there was an olive oil place, an ice cream place that was closed, and I think that was it except for Etto (our lunch). I would have loved to see more interesting shops (maybe a cheese place or bakery), something interactive, whatever. read more

I was told about this from a friend & was wowed at all the places; breweries, a creamery, winery etc. We enjoyed Barrel House Brewing & the food truck there (see my review) & Friends With Benifits Brewing. This review is for Friends With Benifits which brews cider & serves beer from a few third party colligues. I had an oatmeel staut & my aunt & uncle a Mexican logger & blond respectively. My mother enjoyed her cider. The bartender was very friendly & answered our questions; we got to try samples before ordering which is always a plus. It is a decent size shop with a couple bars & some tables to sit at. I will definitely be back next time I am in town. So, for great beer & cider with friendly service in a friendly casual atmosphere, Friends With Benifits cannot be beat. Keep up the good work guys. read more

This is a must when you are in Paso Robles. Many breweries to choose from. Homemade Ice cream shop and food available. Everything is walking distance from each other in this area. my favorite local brewery, BarrelHouse Brewing Co. is there and the grounds are pretty great! Love the big rooster running around welcoming guests as they eat. Really enjoyed the homemade pasta & deli shop and look forward to checking out the new restaurant next door that will carry some of their homemade pasta and sauces. Will definitely be back! read more

Absolutely LOVE going to the barrel house brewing company! It is such a great little area to hang out with friends and grab a few drinks. I wish there was maybe ONE more food truck, but really enjoy that spot. Additionally, the ice cream spot is cute. Not a big fan of ETTO, the food isn't great- but there are MANY other spots here that make it a great way to spend the weekend with friends and family. Barrelhouse also has live music and different events, if you go I'd suggest to stop there! read more

On our way home from Avila last week, we stopped at Tin City. Had oil and vinegar tasting at Olivas de Oro. Casey was so knowledgeable and paired some delicious combinations of their products. So we ended up up joining their club membership! read more

Cool area consisting of dozens of wine tasting rooms, some breweries, Tin City Cider, Olivas de Oro olive oil shop, Negranti ice cream (which carries sheep's and cow's milk ice cream), and probably more that I didn't get to see! Our only complaint is that it's so popular, parking was difficult to find today since it was Saturday afternoon! I'd recommend coming early and staying a while! read more

Tin City - Tin City sign outside Union Sacre - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Paso Robles, California

This place is awesome! Breweries, wineries, food, it's pretty much got it all. The brewery had a big outdoor area and was perfect for families or just drinking with an outside atmosphere. We kept reading online that it closed at 530, but there were still some things open. All the wineries were closed (Sunday at 5), but I think all else was open until 7. We ate at the food truck located at the brewery and it was so good. Had a couple beers that didn't disappoint and then finished at the Ice Cream shop. We're from out of town, but when we come back to Paso Robles we'll definitely visit Tin City again! read more

Friendly excellent service and variety of ciders to try. So fun!! Recommend going there on a nice warm sunny day.

We enjoy stopping by Tin City when we go over to the central coast. Whether it's for having lunch, ice cream, a beer or stout, some wine, olive oil tasting or spirits it's worth the stop!
