It\u2019s a bit of a drive from downtown Paso Robles but word to your mother, the facility is just awesome. It takes you back in time\u2026the architecture of the many buildings on the property is breathtaking. Wander around the grounds before or after tasting their great wine and check out the restored Victorian, the covered bridge, or the old barn and outbuildings.\u00a0 Just some seriously cool stuff all the way around!<\/p>\n<p>[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MYC1_T59Kx0[\/youtube]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hootnannieblog.com\/2011\/05\/our-sommelier-is-in-the-house-at-hospice-du-rhone\/\">Our Sommelier is in the House at Hospice du Rhone<\/a> (hootnannieblog.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hootnannieblog.com\/2011\/03\/hospice-du-rhone\/\">Why Hospice du Rhone???<\/a> (hootnannieblog.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hootnannieblog.com\/2011\/03\/hospice-du-rhone-somm-point-view\/\">Hospice du Rhone: Somm Point of View<\/a> (hootnannieblog.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a title=\"Halter Ranch Vineyard\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hootnannieblog.com\/2010\/06\/halter-ranch-winery\/\">Halter Ranch Vineyard<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px;height: 15px\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: medium none;float: right\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_a.png?x-id=1d662c0a-fe11-45e6-badd-d46dba768db2\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we walked into the Grand Tasting at Hospice du Rhone our first interview was with Kevin Sass , who we were introduced to as&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","filesize_raw":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,8,9],"tags":[232,233,249,368,370,557,561,562],"class_list":{"0":"post-991","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-central-coast-wineries","7":"category-wine-tourism","8":"category-wine-types","9":"tag-halter-ranch","10":"tag-halter-ranch-vineyard","11":"tag-hospice-du-rhone","12":"tag-paso-robles","13":"tag-paso-robles-california","14":"tag-wine-tasting","15":"tag-wine-types","16":"tag-winemaker","17":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Halter Ranch Wine, Hospice du Rhone, and Change<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"While at the Hospice du Rhone wine Grand Tasting, we visit with Kevin Sass, new winemaker at Halter Ranch Vineyards.
