Historic Adelaida
The Adelaida one-room school house is the only structure that remains from the once thriving community of Adelaida, located in the bucolic hills between San Simeon and Paso Robles. Originally a way station where horses and riders rested and watered as they moved cargo from the coast inland, Adelaida was established in 1917 by homesteaders who found the soil to be rich for farming and mining. The community once boasted three schools, three post offices, two general stores, and a dance hall among other social and civic buildings.

The Adelaida Historical Foundation has restored the school house not only to remind us of our past and to serve as a repository for historical information and artifacts, but also so that there continues to be a local community center where the heart and spirit of ‘the Adelaida’ will endure.

Annual Roundup

​The Adelaida Annual Roundup is a day of old time western fun. It  begins with two types of trail rides: one with your own horse (brought from your ranch) and the other with a wagon with hay bale seats pulled by a tractor for the rest of us!  Both are led by local guides who know the history of the back country ranches that are not seen from the road.

After the ambling over oak covered  hills and pristine woodlands you will have worked up an appetite for a delicious BBQ and chuck wagon desserts! Now the storytelling really starts! Learn how it was to  grow up in Adelaida years ago while sampling wine made by Adelaida families.

Be sure to fit in a visit to the historic school house and have fun bidding on the items in the silent auction.

Come celebrate with us the past and present heritage of the Adelaida community!

Coming Soon: Rustic Weddings & Events

Our Adelaida School house is only a 20 minute drive  from Paso Robles, and yet it seems like a life time away from the city,  surrounded by vineyards and pastoral ranches. It soon will be available for events year round. The building comfortably holds 50 people with additional room outside under an awning covered patio or a tree shaded picnic area for larger crowds to gather when the weather is nice.  It is a one of a kind venue with full kitchen facilities and lots of parking.
