Running East and West is Highway 46 lined with wineries. These wineries are busy tourist spots, so one must stay off Highway 46 to avoid crowds. These Paso Robles wine country backroads will help you avoid the busier wine roads.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"vineyard drive backroad\" href=\"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wine-country-backroad-vineyard-drive-paso-robles\/\">Vineyard Drive<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wine-regions\/paso-robles-wine-country\/adelaida-road-wine-trail\/\">Adelaida Road<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Paso Robles west of HY 101\" href=\"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wine-country-backroad-vineyard-drive-paso-robles\/\">Paso Robles West<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wine-regions\/paso-robles-wine-country\/hidden-wine-trail-eastside\/\">Paso Robles East<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Santa Barbara wine country backroads<\/h3>\n<p>Los Olivos is the main wine country town of the Santa Barbara wine region.
