Today on Up+Adam, we’ve got the exclusive first look at The Staviary—a brand new food and beer experience coming to downtown Paso Robles. Chef Rachel Ponce and brewmaster Eric Ponce join Adam to announce their long-awaited concept, opening behind the park in one of the most exciting new developments in town. From Michelin-star buzz to glassware from Belgium, these two are bringing something fresh, personal, and deeply soulful to the Central Coast.In this first half of their interview, we dig into the origin story of The Staviary—from the made-up name that means everything to them, to how they landed their dream location. We talk concept, menu ideas, and what makes the beer program so unique—plus, Eric and Rachel share stories from Chicago, their travels abroad, and why this project feels like the one they were always meant to build. It’s part one of a majestic two-parter.Follow & Learn MoreThe Staviary → www.staviary.comInstagram: @staviary_Chef Rachel Ponce → www.pairwithchefrachel.comInstagram: @pair_with_chef_rachelEric Ponce / Cellar Fermentation → @cellarfermentationCatch them at Pink Drank on July 12 – where Eric will be pouring and Rachel’s known to make a few heads turn.*****Sailing with Phoenix Links:Instagram: @sailing_with_phoenixPredictWind Tracker: Live GPS MapMarineTraffic: AIS Vessel InfoGoFundMe: Help Make a Dream Come TrueArticles:Statesman JournalKGW NewsToday’s Interview: What does it mean to build a dynasty…and what does it cost to keep one?
