Nestling in the rolling, oak-studded hills of Paso Robles, Shale Oak Winery’s summer music series has been such a big hit with visitors and locals alike that it’s continuing the program through the fall.
 
The west side Paso Robles winery will be hosting a musical guest on its covered, outdoor Willow Creek Stage almost every Saturday until the end of October.
 
An afternoon at enjoying live music and Gold Leed-certified estate-grown wines at Shale Oak makes for a perfect Paso Robles wine country afternoon.
 
Located on the hillside on Oakdale Road in Paso Robles, just four miles from Highway 101, the winery’s Willow Creek Stage is surrounded by a welcoming patio where you can stay cool as you sway to the tunes of local musical talents and savor some estate-grown, SIP-certified wines, crafted by Shale Oak Winery winemaker Curtis Hascall.
 
The extended Willow Creek Stage lineup includes:

• Saturday, August 18: David Potter
• Saturday, August 25: Bill Yames
• Saturday, September 8: Bill Yames
• Saturday, September 29: Julie Beaver
• Saturday, October 6: Julie Beaver

Shale Oak Winery wines will be available to purchase by the glass, bottle or tasting flight. Plus, the winery offers elevated tasting options for those looking for a unique wine experience. These experiences include Shale Oak wines paired with select cheeses curated by Fromagerie Sophie of San Luis Obispo, or chocolate truffles crafted from Lisa Echeveria.
