Wine Tasting in
San Luis Obispo, California
View Original Description
The laid back, rolling, countryside landscape of San Luis Obispo County lies along iconic California Highways 1 and 101 in the central coast. Nearly equidistant between Los Angeles and San Francisco, San Luis Obispo is along the path taken by many tourists that wish to see all that makes California a great place to tour. The wine region is comprised of three renowned areas for wine grape production: the Edna Valley, Arroyo Grande Valley and Avila Valley. The history of wine growing in this region extends to the Franciscan missionaries in the late 19th century that identified the soil and microclimate along with its location near the ocean as a perfect place to produce quality wines.
Limousines are among the favorite ways for visitors to tour the area's wineries. Knowledgeable drivers will pick up and drop off their passengers throughout towns in the Central Coast area. Tours include the smaller, for the most part, family-owned wineries that are well known for their limited batch presentations of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, Grenache, Viognier, Zinfandel and other varietals. Nearby coastal tourist hot-spots in Pismo Beach and Avila Beach find easy access to the wineries and vineyards of San Luis Obispo and many aficionados pursue self-guided tours using maps provided at any number of locations. Many visitors to the region combine outings to visit wineries in nearby Paso Robles with excursions in the San Luis Obispo area.
