Allegretto Vineyard Resort Provides Gold Standard Employee Benefits and Scholarships
Achieving world class guest service begins with unmatched hospitality.
May 20, 2025 (Paso Robles, Calif.) – Allegretto Vineyard Resort by Ayres in Paso Robles is setting a new benchmark as a top employer in the hospitality industry. Guided by its core brand promise, “We care about people,” the resort fosters a culture that consistently puts team members first. It raises the bar for employee benefits by offering an inclusive workplace, exceptional training and development opportunities, educational scholarships, and a thoughtfully designed work-life balance for its more than 250 employees—most of whom have been with the resort for an average of five years.
The resort proudly supports the continued education and growth of team members and their families through the Ayres Cares Scholarship program. The program offers three types of scholarships:
- Applicants pursuing degrees in hospitality, business, finance, accounting or economics
- Those pursuing degrees in any other field
- A discretionary award granted by the Ayres Hotels scholarship committee to an applicant with extracurricular areas of interests
Scholarships are available to both employees and their children, with no educational prerequisites or age restrictions, reinforcing Allegretto’s belief that success for their team members is success for the Ayres family.
The 2025 winners of the Aryes Cares Scholarships have been determined. Alyssa Truillo and Jonathan Uribe have been awarded $2,500 and Mathew Beekman, Renata Valladares and Ramon Ferrer have been awarded $1,500.
“We are grateful for the dedication and loyalty of our valued team members and this scholarship is a demonstration of that appreciation!” said Richard Verruni, general manager of Allegretto Vineyard Resort. “Each individual on our team has a future aligned with their dreams and aspirations. We believe that by supporting their growth, we are not only investing in our team but also shaping the future of our resort and the hospitality industry.”
In another gesture of support for the team, every Wednesday is Appreciation Day at the Allegretto, a time dedicated to recognizing employees and partners for their hard work and dedication. “Feeling seen and valued by our leadership inspires all of us to give our best every day.
