Our Boutique here at Paraiso Vineyards is something we are very proud of. We take the “Tasting Room Gift Shop” to the next level with sought after Brands and merchandise that are rare findings in this part of town. One of the newest collections we are very excited about carrying is Pom Pom at Home. “Pom Pom at Home embodies a “lived in” elegant look that is still relaxed and casual. This is the main inspiration to this unique collection which transforms everyday experiences into a sheer delight.”

Here at Paraiso the Pom Pom Collection truly expresses the style and flair of our Tasting Room Boutique Manager, Jennifer Smith. If you have met Jennifer you know her favorites items include one of these characteristics: white, soft and comfy. If it is something she would put in her own house, then it passes the test to be in the Paraiso Tasting Room.

With our large assortment of great items, Paraiso truly is a one stop shop for finding exceptional gifts for yourself or those close to you. Add in a couple bottles of Paraiso’s Santa Lucia Highlands Estate grown wine and you are set! For a closer look at our current inventory of Pom Pom at Home items check out our Facebook Boutique Gallery here.

Stop by for some wine tasting and shopping in our Paraiso Home & Garden Boutique today! We are open Monday-Friday 11-4 and Saturday-Sunday 11-5.

“Valentine’s Passport” is one of the most talked about events on River Road Wine Trail. For one day only, all fourteen vintners along the country back roads of south Monterey County will open their doors to hundreds of wine lovers looking to have an amazing day filled with wine, food and a celebration of all things amour. At Paraiso, we look forward to this event every year as it gives us the chance to spread the love to all our fans. Each winery along RRWT will be showcasing one of their favorite wines and hosting different wine and food pairings so there will be something new and different at every stop.

By popular demand, we will be featuring our luscious Souzao Port with an assortment of sweets and desserts that will surely wake up your taste buds. We will also be pouring our full line-up of Paraiso wines grown right on our Santa Lucia Highlands estate and offering special one day only discounts on our wines and items in the Boutique.

So come join us and the rest of our neighboring vintners for the Valentine’s Passport on Saturday, February 11th. Right now tickets are only $20 if purchased before February 1st. For complete information and to purchase your tickets today visit RiverRoadWineTrail.com.

Paraiso’s very exclusive “Perfect Pairing” Wine Dinner is right around the corner. We are very excited to have the wonderful Chef Michael Jones working his magic and creating an entire meal to complement our Santa Lucia Highlands estate wines.

Chef Michael Jones is known for his amazing creations in the kitchens of A Moveable Feast Catering and the Cachagua General Store tucked away deep in the hills of Cachagua, 25 miles from the Carmel coast. To learn a little more about Jones, you can find a six-page spread featuring the Cachagua General Store in the recent Fall issue of Edible Monterey Bay, where you will not only learn about Jones’ journey to where he is today and an insight into his organic cooking style, but by the time you are done reading you will also know how to open a Champagne bottle with a saber.

“A quick Google search for Cachagua General Store will most likely take you to a smattering of very polarized Yelp reviews that vigorously rant or rave about the restaurant’s food, service and rustic atmosphere.” -Edible Monterey Bay

For one night, Jones and his team will be venturing out of the hills of Cachagua and joining the Paraiso Family and 30 guests in our Estate Wine Lounge for the “Perfect Pairing” Wine Dinner. This will definitely be an evening to remember and we encourage all who can attend to reserve your tickets today before we are all sold out.
