History

Grapes were first introduced into the Paso Robles area in 1797 by missionaries at Mission San Miguel Arcangel, where over one thousand vines were planted.cite web|url=http://www.pasowine.com/pasorobles/history.php|title="Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance] Commercial wine growing, however, wasn't started until the 1880s with the establisment of Ascension Winery, today known as York Mountain Winery, the longest continuously operating winery in the County.

Since 1990, when there were fewer than 20 wineries in Paso Robles, a large expansion of activity has seen the number rise to more than 170 wineries by the early 2000s. Wine critic Robert M. Parker, Jr. commented on the region's promise of quality of wine, emphasizing the wineries Alban Vineyards, L'Aventure, Linne Calodo, Saxum Vineyards, Villa Creek Cellars and Tablas Creek Vineyard as the "leading Paso pioneers".Cite web|last=Parker|first=Robert M.

Viticulture

In the 1950s and 1960s, the Zinfandel grapes planted in Paso Robles were, in large part, replaced with Bordeaux varieties, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon. However, starting in the 1980s, there have been increased plantings of many of the Rhône varieties, including the first Syrah planted in California, as well as Viognier and Roussanne. The emerging popularity of the regions wines, has led it to become the site of the annual "Hospice du Rhône" conference on Rhône style wine.
