Get an inside look at how America’s Finest Craft Pasta is made here on the Central Coast. The Etto Pasta Factory Tours take you behind the scenes of our artisan pasta-making process—from sourcing flour to the traditional methods that bring each shape to life. You’ll learn what makes Etto so special and unique.
Whether you’re a longtime Etto fan or new to our table, the tours are a fun and flavorful experience for all ages.
Tour Options:
FACTORY TOUR
A guided tour of our pasta factory and a complimentary box of Etto Pasta.
PREMIO TOUR
A guided pasta factory tour, a complimentary box of Etto Pasta, and a $25 gift card to use at the Etto Pasta Market or the Etto Pasta Bar. Enjoy a pasta lunch, shop for rare Italian finds, or gift the card to a fellow pasta lover.
PASTA E VINO TOUR
Our most immersive experience! Enjoy everything from the Premio Tour, plus a wine tasting at our winery, Giornata, located just steps away. Giornata wines are made in Paso Robles, CA, featuring Italian grape varieties crafted using minimal intervention. The wines are pure, balanced, and complex and a wonderful compliment to Etto pasta.

How To Book:
Will I get to see pasta being made? On most days pasta is made on at least one of our machines.
I am unable to walk very far or I need a wheelchair. Will I be able to partake in the whole tour? All areas are accessible. There is walking involved and parking areas for all locations close.
How much time should I plan for my visit? Tour only lasts typically 45 mins. If you plan to have lunch at the Etto Pasta Bar, we suggest 90mins. For the Pasta e Vino anywhere from 2- 3 hours is recommended.
The tour provided amazing insight into the manufacturing process, the extremely high quality ingredients used, and the time consuming process utilized to preserve the quality of the pasta. Great job ETTO!
what fun! we completely nerded out at the pasta factory - we learned so much and will forever after avoid eating non-organic US wheat! what pride everyone had about the plant and the pasta you’re producing, Lunch at Etto was - as always - a huge treat, helped along by gift cards in our factory bling bags! Brian himself poured our tasting at Giornata - he got roped in (not his usual gig) - but we got to hear him talk about what & how Etto/Giornata is trying to achieve. Respect to all of you for building a great small business in Paso Robles!
Your was very interesting. My teenage grandsons had never seen a production space if any kind and were fascinated by they also love food. So no surprise!
Gina did an excellent job and the tour was educational and fun! We enjoyed it immensely.
What a fun tour where you can learn so much about pasta: origin, making of, different regions, meaning of Etto, and how Etto is made. We opted for the food/wine tasting option, which is a great add-on: eat some after you have learned all about it!
I gave it as a gift, but I did so reluctantly because I wanted to keep it. That says everything.
Bought 3gift packs as holiday gifts shipped out & everyone loved them & excited about cooking everything & visiting the restaurant & store when they visit the area.
I think it will become a Christmas Eve tradition! Family raves included delicious, melts in your mouth, pasta so thin, amazing, perfect sauce, delicate, light not heavy, and “I don’t feel bloated!” Needless to say, it was a hit. Thank you Etto!
My Aunt and Uncle Etto visited your store a while back. My uncle passed last January and you all were kind enough to send my Aunt some extras with her order for his memorial when she told you her story. She said you were so kind to her as she was crying trying to place the order. My Uncle Etto was an amazing man, and you all helped us celebrate him and I am grateful. As his anniversary is coming I purchased a gift set for my Aunt and she absolutely loved it! Thank you for being kind to your customers ❤️ your kindness was above and beyond. I have the little candies saved with his memorial keepsake.
Ciao Kimberly!
Thank you for such kind words. We remember taking the order and we are happy to be a part of making a difficult time a little bit better for your aunt and your family. We wish you the best.
