Sunset Sidecar Wine Adventures with Third Wheel Tours | Wine | Winery

Paso Robles sits in the heart of California’s Central Coast, a landscape defined by rolling hills, extensive vineyards, and a climate ideal for wine production. Third Wheel Tours capitalizes on this setting with their San Luis Obispo Sunset at the Vineyards Sidecar Wine Adventure, offering visitors an immersive way to experience the region’s distinctive charm. This isn’t your typical wine tasting—imagine cruising through vineyards on a vintage motorcycle sidecar as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky with shades of gold and amber. The tour’s intimate scale highlights the area’s character: well-tended grapevines stretching over limestone-rich soils, producing some of the region’s finest cabernets and zinfandels.

On this tour, guides share hands-on insights into winemaking and local varietals, drawing attention to the interplay between terroir and taste. As the light softens, riders pause to soak in panoramic views while savoring a carefully selected bottle paired with a gourmet cheese board, spotlighting artisan producers. It’s a sensory journey that blends outdoor adventure with the sophisticated pleasure of tasting award-winning wines.

Third Wheel Tours thrives as a unique outdoor experience rooted in the Paso Robles wine country lifestyle—it appeals to couples seeking romantic evenings, small groups marking special moments, or anyone drawn to the dramatic coastal foothills outside San Luis Obispo. Its combination of vintage transport, compelling narratives from local vintners, and the visual feast of sunset over acres of grapevines creates a standout itinerary. Beyond just wine and scenery, it’s a connection to both nature and culture that anchors the Central Coast’s growing reputation as a top-tier adventure wine destination.
