What To Expect
Giornata
Step into this boutique winery focusing on high quality handcrafted Italian varieties, and the second winery to exist in Tin City. You’ll sip through a small selection of elegant, naturally made, old world style Italian wines and talk about their winemaking practices, including the use of amphorae, sustainable farming, the history of obscure Italian varieties in San Luis Obispo county and the building the Giornata & Etto brands in (at the time) little known Tin City.
After a short walk through Tin City, we’ll visit END OF THE DAY wines and learn about how winemaker Carl Bowker went from producing highly-acclaimed small production wines at Caliza Winery in the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles to also starting a boutique label in Tin City offering wines that are tasty, well-priced, approachable and that can be enjoyed daily.

5.00This tour provided an excellent introduction to the Paso Robles wine region for me. In addition to relaxed sampling of some interesting wines from small producers, we had a delicious lunch! Kristina provided very useful historical information and suggestions for my next two days exploring the region.

5.00Since there are so many options, exploring Tin City alone can be a bit intimidating, it was great to have Toast Tours to show us around. Also it was very nice to have everything pre arranged, it made for a smooth and wonderful tour.
