Excerpt from Summer Lovin’ in SLO: Summer Things to Do in San Luis Obispo, CA on Redfin.com
Summer in the San Luis Obispo area is perfect! This area of California’s Central Coast has cool weather due to its proximity to the cold Pacific Ocean. It also has a network of mountains and valleys. This leads to vineyards and hikes…and of course, beaches!
Sip & Savor in SLO
From the article:
“For those of age, exploring the local vineyards near San Luis Obispo is the ideal summer activity. Only a short drive from the downtown, several wineries and vineyards litter the outskirts of SLO. Third Wheel Tours offers an unforgettable wine tour through San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles, a neighboring town ridden with the best vineyards. ‘Discover the region’s rich history, indulge in exquisite wine tastings, and soak in breathtaking landscapes as you adventure through picturesque vineyards and charming towns,’ says sales director AJ Mara. Their curated tours promise a truly premier experience through the wine world of California’s Central Coast.”
If you’re more of a choose-your-own adventure type, check out our guides on San Luis Obispo & the Beach Cities, as well as further south into wine country, in Edna Valley & Arroyo Grande.
“In fact, Liz Dodder of Cali Coast Wine Country finds San Luis Obispo’s coastal wine region ‘one of the most interesting and coolest wine regions in the world.’ Whether or not you prefer white or red, Liz says that both ‘Chardonnay and Pinot Noir dominate this region, but Albariño, Riesling, Grenache, and Syrah also thrive.’
If we haven’t hyped it up enough, San Luis Obispo really is the perfect place for a summer wine tour. Tour or not, you’re sure to enjoy sipping on a glass in the California sun whether you’re solo traveling through, are on a romantic date, or with a group of friends.”
