You will find everything from full-day touring adventures to the after hours hot spots. Take time to taste the wine, feast on dining pleasures or just stick your toes in the sand.

While you’re here, look for the current issue of Wine Country This Month for more in-depth winery information along with current and upcoming events.

California’s Central Coast A Destination for All Seasons Photo courtesy of SolvangUSA.com

California’s Central Coast is unique and delightful, with attractions to please everyone, adults and children alike. Driving up (or down) the coast on scenic California Highway 1 and 101 is a beautiful, memorable trip during any time of year. In springtime, the hills are vibrant and green, the vineyards throughout “wine country” springing to life. Summer brings quintessential California as you drive the coast through Santa Barbara and Pismo Beach. Heading inland to Paso Robles, the vines will be heavy with grapes. During fall, and crush, the vines turn brilliant colors of oranges, reds and yellows, until they go into a deep slumber during winter. What is so compelling about California’s Central Coast is that, aside from wine tasting, there are so many places to go and things to see and do, most of which are not dependent on a specific season or time of year. If you decide to take a break from wine tasting, or you want to experience a different and magical part of the California Central Coast, plan to see and visit some of the many attractions that bring California Dreaming, and history, to life.

Where to Go…What to Do…What to See...

Hearst Castle is a 10-minute drive north of the quaint seaside town of Cambria on Highway 1. Designed as a residence for newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst, the castle was frequented by Hollywood elite, politicians, business moguls and presidents during the 1920s and 1930s.

Now a California State Park, it is open for visitors, and will give you a picture into the lives of the rich and famous of that long-ago era. Hearst Castle was included as one of America’s “10 Amazing Castles”

by Forbes Travel.com, described as: “Quite possibly the nation’s most famous castle.” A visit to Hearst Castle is not to be missed.

Elephant Seal Rookery (DecemberMarch): Drive a few miles north of Hearst Castle to the Elephant Seal Rookery. Watching these mammals that range in size up to 16 feet and weigh as much as 5000 pounds is quite a sight. The seals come ashore twice a year: During winter they mate and give birth and in the late spring and summer they molt and grow new fur. Open all year round, the best time to view these amazing mammals is during the winter months.

Check the website for live viewing and information: www.elephantseal.org.

Paso Robles and Vicinity: Continue south of Cambria heading onto Highway 46, into Paso Robles. On your way, you may want to make a wine tasting stop at Epoch Estate Wines (just off York Mountain Road). Aside from tasting world-class wines, the newly restored tasting room is an important part of Paso Robles history. The original 1882 York Mountain Winery was one of the first in the area, and Epoch Estate Wines has taken seven years to painstakingly restore and preserve this historic structure, which serves as its tasting room today. Be amazed by the old relics (such as the original stones, beams, bricks and winepress) including the pictures on display, as you gaze at Paso Robles life and winemaking as it existed well over 100 years ago.

Talk about a step back in history – the Paso Robles Pioneer Museum will take you back in time and show what life was like in the area spanning a period of up to about 150 years, through a display of pictures and artifacts. View the exhibit of antique autos, gas pumps, an 1886 oneroom schoolhouse, Indian objects and so much more. Free admission and tours.

Don’t miss this nostalgic step back into Central Coast history.

Continuing on a historical venture, a visit to the Estrella Warbirds Museum will thrill people of all ages. Here you will find displays of military paraphernalia: aircraft, armament, vehicles, communications gear, drones, artwork (from WWI to present day), and uniforms. There is also an impressive exhibit of antique cars, roadsters, classic cars and motorcycles. Want more? Try your hand flying the FA/18 Hornet flight simulator, for a 30-minute flight!

Reservations suggested in advance. www.ewarbirds.org Instead of a walk through the vineyards, try experiencing zipping OVER the vineyards! Midway between Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo is Margarita Adventures, offering a familyfriendly exciting experience where you can get quite a rush by zip lining over the vineyards and through a canopy of ancient oak trees with the Santa Lucia Mountains in the background.

The course includes six zip lines spanning in excess

Pismo State Beach Monarch Butterfly Grove

LATITUDE 35°

of 7,500 feet, ending at the P.W. Murphy Mining Company, a recreated mid-1800s gold mining camp. Returning to downtown Santa Margarita, relax a bit wine tasting at Ancient Peaks Winery, sampling estate-grown varietals.

If you are in San Luis Obispo on a Thursday night, be sure to attend the “world famous” Downtown SLO Farmers’ Market, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.

Stroll and shop, buy fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers, enjoy street performers, bands and street food in the friendliest atmosphere you can imagine.

This isn’t your typical farmer’s market, it’s a family happening!

A fifteen-minute drive south of San

Luis Obispo, just past the quaint seaside town of Pismo Beach, you’ll find the Pismo State Beach Monarch Butterfly Grove (open late October through late February). Historically, this is the largest Western Monarch overwintering site.

Over the last 10 years, counts have ranged from 17,000-34,000 butterflies wintering in the groves here. You will be mesmerized and delighted by the thousands of butterflies you will view up close and personal.

Continuing south on Highway 101, prior to reaching Santa Barbara, stop in Solvang, a quaint Danish village founded in the early 1900s. A “mini Copenhagen,” you will love the traditional bakeries,

Estrella Warbird Museum

restaurants, merchants, galleries and tasting rooms. Take a town tour in a horse-drawn open-air carriage and plan to spend a day or two in this delightful hamlet.

Enjoying the scenic drive from Solvang you will arrive in Santa Barbara, often referred to as “The American Riviera.” Steeped in Spanish, Mexican and Chumash Indian history, you can spend days exploring this diverse tourist and resort destination, marveling in the food, architecture and history. However, if you are just passing through or have limited time, be certain to stroll along the waterfront, which includes historic Stearns Wharf, you may even want to rent a surrey! And, if visiting Santa Barbara on a Sunday, spend an hour or more at the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show, meandering along Cabrillo Boulevard by the waterfront. For over 50 years, every Sunday, local artists have set up displays of their craft along this ocean front promenade. Santa Barbara, as is most of the Central Coast, is a destination for all seasons.

California’s Central Coast, whether travelling along the coast or inland, is a vibrant destination. You can plan a day, a week or more exploring this area that is like no other. Whatever your interest may be: World-class wine, gourmet meals, quaint inns, beautiful scenery, historical buildings, art, towns filled with history, and on and on … the Central Coast is a four-season destination that will thrill children and adults alike, in fact, it may even bring out the inner child in you.

Foodie Favorites

Chef Nicola Allegretta, Mistura, Paso Robles

Fish Gaucho, Paso Robles

MISTURA: Chef Nicola Allegretta has crafted a “foodie’s heaven” with his Peruvian themed restaurant, located on the edge of the River Oaks Golf Course, a few minutes from downtown Paso Robles.

The flavors are bold and creative, as are the dishes. Chef Allegretta’s mission “is to explore the multicultural personality of the Peruvian people and society through creative, innovative cuisine reflecting the diversity of a culture built upon its Inca, Italian, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese heritage.”

Each dish served is a piece of art, in terms of the flavors, presentations and design. Immediately upon being served, your sense of sight will be stimulated, followed by your sense of smell and taste. Each bite will enhance your senses and your enjoyment.

Reflecting the culture of the Peruvian people, constantly challenging himself to create new and exciting dishes to please his clientele, Chef Allegretta focuses on sustainability and purity before any dish is crafted. Organic and sustainably locally grown produce and vegetables are served, the meats and poultry are free range and organically raised, seafood where possible is locally sourced, and the emphasis is on fresh, pure and imaginatively prepared food.

Reading the menu you may feel out of your depth in terms of what to order, don’t fret; let your server know your food preferences, and trust him to put together an assortment of dishes that will, simply put, amaze you. This is the best way to enjoy a variety of foods and flavors that will transport you to Peruvian food heaven. A meal at Mistura is an experience not to be missed.

Shrimp & Grits from The Hatch, Paso Robles

THE HATCH: The Hatch became an instant sensation immediately upon opening in June of 2015, and hasn’t looked back since.

Describing themselves as “a simple rotisserie and bar” The Hatch offers up an assortment of creatively designed “comfort food,” classic and hand-crafted cocktails and a well-thought-out wine list. Once you take a few minutes to look at the menu, you will want to try everything! The best way to get a real sampling of the tasty dishes on the menu is to go with 4-8 people, let your server guide you in ordering, and sharing, an assortment of “small plates” for the table, and a few shareable entrees. Savor the imaginatively prepared, flavorful grilled Caesar salad or the knock your socks off fire-roasted hen of the woods mushrooms (with soy, aioli and parmesan cheese). Add in the burrata alla panna, with grilled grapes and chicken fat toast, or an order of salt-crusted fingerling potatoes (served with house-made aioli), and you may never even get to try any of the amazing entrees!

But if you do, be certain to order the shrimp and grits, the meatloaf, or any of the entrees—it’s all good! There is a vibe and electricity that reverberates throughout. Reservations strongly suggested! Bon Appetite!

FISH GAUCHO: The Fish Gaucho, in downtown Paso Robles, defines themselves as being purveyors of California Mexican Food and Tequila … but that is just the beginning! Executive chef Chris Beckett uses the finest and freshest ingredients for all of Fish Gaucho’s culinary masterpieces (each dish being an artistic, flavorful, creative work of art). Sourcing the finest fresh seafood and shellfish locally, along with local produce and organic meats, Beckett and his staff prepare unique dishes reflecting California’s Mexican heritage, presenting them with a flair.

There is a full bar, beer and wine list, in addition to the themed tequila bar, offering over 140 premium tequilas. If you like margaritas, you must try one of the hand-crafted margaritas, especially the Charred Jalapeno Pineapple Margarita, you’ll be hard pressed to stop at one! While deciding what to order, you may want to start off sharing the Morro Bay guacamole and chips, and ahi nachos. You could have a hard time deciding on an entrée of fresh fish tacos, short rib enchiladas or any of the other tasty menu items; whatever you pick, you can’t go wrong.

Fish Gaucho’s décor is colorful and fun, reflecting a South of the Border rustic feel, along with Latin music, lots of laughter, good times and good people. For a totally unique experience exploring and enjoying creative, artistic Modern Mexican cuisine, Fish Gaucho is the place to be. Salud!

Guacamole with fresh ahi from Fish Gaucho, Paso Robles

THOMAS HILL ORGANICS: When former Adidas executive Debbie Thomas moved to Paso Robles about a dozen years ago, she had no plans to open a restaurant, let alone to become the trendsetter in what has perhaps become one of the most important “movements” in the restaurant business: Farm to table. To Debbie and the staff at Thomas Hill Organics, farm to table is more than a saying, it is a commitment that involves freshness, goodness, community, lifestyle and friendship.

Depending on availability, you may want to start your adventure in fresh dining with half a dozen oysters fresh out of Tomales Bay, citrus marinated beets or an enticing soup du jour.

Follow your appetizer with a choice of seafood, meat or poultry, always imaginatively prepared and flavored. To finish off the meal, let your salivary glands work overtime as you choose from a variety of locally produced cheeses, and of course, whatever sweet delight the chef has created for the evening.

Although the menu changes frequently, what doesn’t change is the ambience, friendliness and mouthwatering dishes. No meal, of course, would be complete without wine in this fast growing wine region; as with her food ingredients, THO offers a wide selection of wines from local wineries, with many from hard-to-find, small-boutique winemakers.

Building on her fresh success, in 2016 Thomas Hill Kitchen in San Luis Obispo opened. With a classy, trendy “vibe” to it, the SLO location follows the same parameters as the original location, purchasing from local farmers and purveyors in addition to the famous SLO Thursday night farmer’s market.

Of course, the new location also serves up gourmet pizzas from their wood burning pizza oven.

Visit either of the Thomas Hill locations for a memorable “farm to table to you” experience.

S. Y. KITCHEN: Located just minutes from the Chumash Indian Casino in Santa Ynez, S.Y. Kitchen embodies the quintessential spirt of a wine country restaurant, specializing in creative, imaginative foods that please the palate. Executive Chef and Partner, Luca Crestanelli, born in Verona, Italy, has worked throughout Northern Italy and Southern California, prior to opening S.Y. Kitchen. His mission is “creating an enriched, authentic local culinary experience that honors traditional Italian cuisine.” The phrase “farm to table” means exactly that to Luca, who visits local fields and farms daily in order to source the purest, freshest vegetables, meats, seafood and supplemental ingredients into the kitchen and by extension, to the table to create a remarkable dining experience. Along with his brother Francesco, who creates the fresh pastas, chocolate and gelato, S.Y. Kitchen offers an unparalled culinary experience.

Weather permitting, you may choose to have your meal in The Courtyard. Should the evening chill down, there are heaters and blankets available for your comfort. With lights twinkling in the trees, this is the perfect setting for an intimate, romantic meal. If the courtyard is full, or you prefer inside dining, there are three informal dining areas in the Italian themed California farmhouse. Your only problem will be: What to order! The best way to experience the menu is sharing with your party. You can taste the freshness and purity of all the dishes, be it the burrata or mouthwatering warm octopus salad, any of the daily made pastas (the wild mushroom pappardelle is to die for), the pizzas, salads or fish, chicken or beef dishes. All are created with intermingling flavors and aromas that will tease, entice and please the palate. But, be sure to leave room for dessert, especially the “not so traditional tiramisu” or the chocolate and mascarpone, perhaps one of each—you will find yourself in heaven.

S.Y. Kitchen also offers an extensive, well designed spirits, cocktail, beer and wine list to complement your meal. In addition to dinner seven days a week, S.Y. Kitchen is open for lunch Friday and Saturday, and on Sundays, mix, match or share from several items on their inspired Italian breakfast menu.

For a truly amazing dining experience, put S.Y. Kitchen on your list of culinary adventures. Reservations recommended.

With panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the impressive Santa Lucia mountains, the county has over 300 days of sunshine each year – perfect for outdoor play! Located halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo County is the perfect getaway.

Take a ride up scenic Highway 1 to the Piedras Blancas rookery, near San Simeon, for a sneak peek of the elephant seal colony, complete with massive bulls and (not so little!) pups.

Along the way step back in time at “La Cuesta Encantada,” also known as the iconic Hearst Castle. Imagine you’re a 1920s Hollywood celebrity with a nighttime castle tour, as docents don period costumes and invite you to enjoy the castle as a guest of William Randolph Hearst. Travel back down the coast and visit the quaint village of Cambria where you can browse art galleries or dine at a café, many which are dog friendly. Spend the afternoon in the artsy town of Harmony (pop. 18), where you can craft pottery, glassworks and enjoy amazing small batch ice cream from Harmony Valley Creamery.

Explore early-California life at the Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa or Mission San Miguel, founded in the 1700s. Both missions offer self-guided tours of the mission grounds and gardens. Or experience life as an 1800s vaquero with a visit to the Dana Adobe in Nipomo.

Enjoy live theater with an evening at the Great American Melodrama Theater in Oceano or catch a film during the annual San Luis Obispo Film Festival.

Outdoor activities abound with plenty of paddleboarding, surfing, kayaking, hiking trails, mountain biking, cycling and ATV adventures. Experience the Central Coast on horseback with a trail ride or try out one of the county’s championship golf courses. The possibilities are endless!

VINA ROBLES

LATITUDE 35°

Conveniently located off Highway 46 East only three miles from downtown Paso Robles, Vina Robles Vineyards & Winery has it all. Finding your blend of wine country bliss has never been easier as the winery pairs estate grown wines with food and the performing arts.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the family-owned and operated winery with Swiss roots is best known for producing wines that unite the bright fruit characteristics of the Paso Robles terroir with the balance and ageworthy structure of European-style wines. Vina Robles’ winemaking philosophy is best exemplified by their Cabernet Sauvignon, especially the acclaimed Suendero blend, as well as Petite Sirah, Petit Verdot, and unconventional blends such as the WHITE4 and RED4.

Guests are invited to sample these and other small production wines at Vina Robles’ Hospitality Center, the most elegant setting for experiencing wine country.

Several tasting options are available to guests including privately hosted wine and food pairings. In addition, a tapas menu is available daily to satisfy small appetites. Prior to visiting, it is worthwhile to take a look at the winery’s event schedule as it always offers great live music, wine education seminars, dinners or other exciting happenings.

After a day wine tasting, visitors can find their rhythm at Vina Robles’ boutique outdoor amphitheatre.

Patrons receive the opportunity to immerse themselves in an intimate live music experience while soaking in the beautiful surroundings of wine country.

Top tier acts from around the world can be enjoyed from mid-April through November each year.

EBERLE WINERY The Future of Eberle Winery is Right Here…on the Map For thirty-seven years, Eberle Winery’s owner and founder, former winemaker and greatest ambassador, Gary Eberle, has tirelessly promoted the California wine industry, Paso Robles, and of course, his own Eberle wine. His message: “great wine grows here.” As the “Godfather” of the Paso Robles wine region, many say he helped put Paso on the map.

As Eberle continues to look at the big picture surrounding his business, he’s taking advantage of the excitement behind recent changes at the winery and capturing the energy that’s behind it. “To be in my position, doing what I love to do every day of the week…nothing could make me happier,” he says. “To have my wife, Marcy, as my business partner and our new winemaker, Chris, here to turn that energy into something tangible…it’s amazing to see the possibilities that lay in front of us right now.”

After just over a year as winemaker at Eberle (he worked four years as Assistant Winemaker in 2006-2009 and has worked 16 crushes in six countries), Chris Eberle is already proving himself in the industry by picking up a slew of awards in 2016. The winery received 60 gold, double gold, Best of Class and Best of Show awards.

Chris also brought changes to the winemaking process itself; both philosophically and stylistically. “Nearly everything that touches the wine is what I brought in,” says Eberle. “And as great as our wine has always been, I think our quality will grow even higher.”

Chris Eberle’s other plans for the winery including introducing some new wines, including a dessert liqueur and a Reserve Sauret Zinfandel.

Gary and Marcy look forward to steering the winery toward another four decades of continued success. For them, it’s where the dream, and the drive, are writing the road map…and where they’re happy behind the wheel.

WINES TO TRY • Eberle 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, Double Gold Medal Winner • Eberle 2014 Zinfandel, Double Gold Medal Winner • Eberle Steinbeck Syrah, Gold Medal Winner • Eberle 2015 Viognier, Best of Show, Central Coast Wine Competition • Eberle 2015 Syrah Rosé, Best of Class, Pacific Rim Wine Competition, Sunset International Wine Competition, CA State Fair Awards • Eberle 2015 Muscat Canelli • Best of Show, Central Coast Wine Competition

Santa Margarita VISIT THE OLD WEST

K

nown as the gateway to the Carrizo Plain National Monument, Santa Margarita is a throwback to the Old Wild West. Originally home to Native Americans, the historic Santa Margarita Ranch was established in the 1700s as part of the mission trail. The western heritage and influence is evident in the main street storefronts, which are filled with artisans and wine tasting rooms.

Santa Margarita offers a unique experience at Lazy Arrow Outdoor Adventures where you can visit the 32,000-acre ranch with over 250 exotic animals, cattle and buffalo. If you’re in the mood for a more exhilarating activity, take in the thrill of zip lining through more than 3,000 feet of valley and forested vineyards with Margarita Adventures.

Wrap up your day with a gourmet dinner at The Range, a destination restaurant known for it’s seasonal farm-fresh produce, meats and wild game menu. (Cash only.)

A Taste of Adventure in The Paso Robles Wine Country You may have toured a vineyard before, but never like this—flying on a zipline over Pinot Noir vines before gently touching down on the rugged earth of the historic Santa Margarita Ranch.

Welcome to the world of Ancient Peaks Winery, which is fast becoming known as one of California’s most dynamic wine country experiences. “As long me local ranchers and winegrowers, we embrace the spirit of early California rancho hospitality that has defined this land since the 1800s,” says Ancient Peaks coowner Karl Wi strom. “ There is a lot of tradi on to be found here, but we are also driven to create exci ng new ways to share this special place with others.”

This is where Ancient Peaks’ affiliated Margarita Adventures zipline tours come into play, with six memorable lines that soar through the heart of the winery ’s estate Margarita Vineyard.

Margarita Vineyard is the southernmost vineyard in the Paso Robles region, with diverse soils and a marine-cooled climate that produce wines with a vivid sense of place. These wines can be enjoyed at the Ancient Peaks Tas ng Room & Café in Santa Margarita, and can be paired with the café’s fresh, seasonal fare.

Another recent development is the opening of the winery ’s Oyster Ridge event venue at Margarita Vineyard, specializing in weddings, corporate retreats and private events.

As Wi strom puts it, “We can truly say that there is something for everyone at Ancient Peaks.”

MORRO BAY Morro Rock, a State Historic Landmark, was formed about 23 million years ago from the plugs of long-extinct volcanoes.

Morro Rock was an important navigational aid for mariners for over 300 because the rock is approximately 576 feet tall which made it the most visible in a chain of 9 peaks. www.morro-bay.ca.us

BAILEYANA, TANGENT & TRUE MYTH An Edna Valley Family with a Rich History For almost 45 years and three generations, the Niven family has farmed their historic Paragon Vineyard located in the heart of San Luis Obispo’s beautiful Edna Valley. Their legacy began when founder Jack Niven pioneered the planting of grape vines here in 1973. The Paragon Vineyard is the largest familyowned and operated vineyard in the Edna Valley. It spans more than 1,100 acres and notably, was part of a pilot program in 2008, aimed at certifying sustainable farming practices in California. It was in the first wave of Central Coast vineyards to earn Sustainability in Practice (SIP) certification. Today, the Niven family owns multiple wine brands: Baileyana, Tangent & True Myth being the main focus. These brands, along with Zocker and Trenza are available nationally and are showcased at their quaint Edna Valley tasting room.

Traveling down Orcutt Road from San Luis Obispo, the Baileyana, Tangent & True Myth Tasting Room is the first you will encounter as you enter the Edna Valley. Open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. year-round, the tasting room is housed in a quaint schoolhouse built in 1909. Many of the building’s original windows, floorboards and ceiling remain intact, offering tasting room guests a glimpse into the past. From the tasting room, visitors can also take in the gorgeous views

across the valley toward the hills that line the coast.

The diversity of wine styles, all crafted by Burgundian winemaker, Christian Rougenant, are a big draw in the valley.

Baileyana wines are varietal Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah wines, aged in French oak barrels and include still and sparkling wines. Tangent wines explore fresh and vibrant alternative whites, which thrive in this relatively cool-climate valley, a mere five miles from the Pacific Ocean. Fermented in stainless steel tanks, these wines include: Sauvignon Blanc, Albariño, Pinot Gris and Grenache Blanc. True Myth represents the best of this county’s wine regions: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the cool Edna Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon from the warmer Paso Robles region.

Beyond the wine tasting experience, the property provides plenty of opportunities for recreation and relaxation. A wide range of gift items and merchandise are offered for guests to peruse and purchase. Outdoors, guests are invited to sit on the lawn or enjoy the many picnic areas on the premises while enjoying a glass of wine (a small selection of cheese, salami and crackers are available for purchase, or bring your own picnic). Families and well-behaved dogs are welcome and the outdoor area also features two regulation-size bocce courts.

This offering will allow guests to take in the Central Coast sunshine while being taken through a flight of carefully selected wines along with light bites that pair perfectly with the qualities and aspects of each wine.

“I am incredibly excited about our renovation. Our tasting room, which already offers guests a great experience, will take a large step forward with changes that open up the entire space to bring the best view of the Edna Valley into the tasting room experience,” says Edna Valley Vineyard Winemaker Matt Steel. “The creation of the new outdoor patio will also allow guests to have a special tasting experience, as they will practically be in the vineyard while taking in the beautiful scenery of Edna Valley. I think both new and returning visitors will love what they see!”

The knowledgeable and welcoming team at Edna Valley Vineyard will help ensure every visit is memorable and unique. It is a must-see for any visitor to the Central Coast.

MARTIAN RANCH & VINEYARD An Out-of-this-World Experience Make your trip to Santa Barbara wine country complete with a visit to Martian Ranch & Vineyard! Located just three miles off Highway 101 and minutes south of the town of Los Alamos, Martian Ranch provides an out-of-this-world experience for guests. The tasting room, which opened in October 2013, features biodynamically farmed, vibrant wines from Martian Ranch’s estate vineyard.

Winery owner, Nan Helgeland, is the earthly force behind Martian Ranch & Vineyard. Originally from Cape Cod, Nan found her inspiration in the world-class wines produced in Santa Barbara County. She purchased the 102-acre property in 2007 and named it Martian Ranch – the combined childhood nickname of her two sons: Martin and Ian. The first estate wines were bottled from the 2011 vintage. After three years of diligence and care, Martian Ranch & Vineyard became a Demeter Certified estate winery in 2015. Twenty acres of vines are planted to ten different grape varieties: Rhône, Iberian, Beaujolais and a touch of Bordeaux – each perfectly suited to the Mediterranean climate of the ranch.

Martian Ranch is known for carefully farmed, vibrant and lower-alcohol wines, with Eric Bolton at the helm as winemaker. Eric graduated Fresno State University as an Enology major with a minor in chemistry. He honed his skills throughout California and abroad, bringing a truly unique and

diversified profile to the wines here at Martian Ranch.

The tasting room is a fun and comfortable place to enjoy a unique selection of estate wines, each named after a celestial notion, from the Stellar Viognier to Local Group Grenache Noir and Mothership Grenache Blanc. The glass wall behind the tasting bar offers a view of the large Foudre barrels in the wine cellar. Tours of the winery are available upon request.

While you’re here, play a little bocce or horseshoes. There’s also a spacious picnic area. Well-behaved pets are welcomed.

The most recent addition to the estate is a nature trail walk led by Nan Helgeland herself through the old oaks of the property as she shares her knowledge with guests, ending at the picturesque pond in the vineyard. Separately, a guided meditation at the pond will be taking place, while you soak up the serenity of the vines and enjoy wine after!

In addition to the tasting room, you can taste and purchase wine from Nan at the Thousand Oaks Certified Farmer’s Market on Thursdays and Mar Vista Certified Farmer’s Market on Sundays.

Featured in the New York Times, SF Chronicle and Jon Bonné’s book, “The New California Wine,” Martian Ranch is Nan’s vision come to life, a vineyard and winery dedicated to the journey, “From sky to ground to grape to barrel to bottle and straight into your glass!”

PRESQU’ILE WINERY “Pass A Good Time” In 2007, two generations of the Murphy family came together to found a winery and estate vineyard on 200 acres of coveted land in the heart of Santa Barbara County’s Santa Maria Valley. Situated high atop a hill, with stunning ocean and vineyard views, they called the land Presqu’ile—the Creole word for “almost an island”—both as a tribute to a beloved Gulf Coast family gathering place that was lost in Hurricane Katrina, and because they envisioned Presqu’ile as an island-like haven amid the vines.

In the decade since, Presqu’ile has emerged as one of the most beloved wineries on California’s Central Coast. Renowned for its dazzling cool-climate wines—including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc—noted wine writer Alder Yarrow called Presqu’ile “quite simply the most exciting new winery I’ve come across in several years.” Fellow journalist Karen MacNeil was equally effusive, writing that the “2015 Presqu’ile is the best rosé in California. It’s refrigerated sunlight.”

While Presqu’ile’s wines have emerged as Central Coast benchmarks for their beautiful balance and sophistication, guided by the gracious southern hospitality of the Murphy family, the winery’s visitor experience has also set a new standard. In fact, in both 2014 and 2016, Santa Maria Sun readers voted Presqu’ile “Northern Santa Barbara County’s Best

Tasting Room.” But Presqu’ile offers far more than just a fantastic wine tasting experience. Artfully designed with a seamless blending of modern architecture and natural elements, Presqu’ile is one of the Central Coast’s most serene and spectacular event venues. With a tasting room that leads into a breathtaking wine cave, a sunset dining room, rooftop and skyline terraces, a “secret garden” lounge and even an outdoor amphitheater, Presqu’ile also hosts unforgettable weddings and luxurious private functions.

For those who love amazing music, the Presqu’ile Concert Series has featured such iconic artists as The Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Grammy winner Ozomatli. With annual events like its Tri-Tip Cook-off and Mardi Gras Celebration, and winemaker dinners featuring some of the most talented chefs from Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, Presqu’ile has also become a must-visit destination for foodies. This year, the winery began offering a very special seated tasting where guests can explore Presqu’ile’s wines alongside its rising star winemaker, Dieter Cronje.

“We named Presqu’ile after a place that was beloved by our family,” says cofounder Matt Murphy. “From our wines to our commitment to hospitality, we strive to create that same kind of deeply personal experience for our guests.”

ZACA MESA WINERY & VINEYARDS A Passion for Excellence Nestled against the majestic San Rafael Mountains, at the highest point of the famed Foxen Canyon Trail, lies a historic winery and vineyard named Zaca Mesa.

The native Chumash revered this special area of the Santa Ynez Valley, naming it “Zaca,” meaning “restful place” in their native language. Planted in 1973, Zaca Mesa is a pioneer of the region and one of the oldest vineyards in Santa Barbara County. The winery’s impressive history includes a long list of the region’s legendary winemakers, a number of Wine Spectator Top 100 finishes and the highest Wine Spectator Top 10 finish of any Santa Barbara County winery.

On the drive to Zaca Mesa Winery & Vineyards you will experience classic Santa Barbara wine country with spectacular vistas from any direction. As you climb up Foxen Canyon Road, either, north from Los Olivos, south through the Santa Maria Valley or east through Alisos Canyon Road, the road winds through beautiful vineyard scenery, studded with century old coastal and live oaks and picturesque rolling hills. Arriving to the winery, at 1300 feet elevation, you will pull past the Grenache Blanc vineyard, through the large oak trees

and up to the historic winery barn with the famous life-sized chessboard.

Once you enter the charming tasting room and taste through the Zaca Mesa collection, you will detect a true sense of place and the devotion that goes into each and every bottle. The educated winery staff will provide the perfect setting to learn about important local grape varieties such as Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and the famous estate-grown Rhône varieties. Schedule a tour of the barrel room, with 2,000 oak barrels, special concrete fermenters and small clay amphorae or bring a picnic lunch to relax in the winery’s beautiful courtyard.

The Zaca Mesa tasting room is located at 6905 Foxen Canyon Road and is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Summer hours vary.)

SMALL TOWN CHARM WHERE HISTORY IS ALIVE

R

eminiscent of a Norman Rockwell painting, Los Olivos is a step back in time, with its flagpole in the city center, to the vintage store fronts that beckon you to have a seat and enjoy the scenery. Dating back to 1860, when it was a stop on the western stagecoach route, the town is full of history from its Victorian homes to the many locals with pioneer ancestors.

Now a hub for visitors to the county, Los Olivos has a variety of local restaurants, which complement the wine country experience, with their acclaimed wine lists paired with seasonal menus. Encompassing just five blocks, the downtown is very pedestrian friendly, filled with wine tasting rooms intermingled with craft brew tasting, art galleries and boutiques filled with home décor, gifts and apparel.

Events in Los Olivos include the 2nd Saturday Artisans held each month in the city park, which showcases original, handcrafted objects d’art.

Pack a picnic and head out for the day to the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail! Start your journey at Zaca Station Road, just off of Highway 101 as you head toward Los Alamos on Highway 154. With close to a dozen wineries on the trail, you can leisurely meander throughout the country roads as they wind through an idyllic setting of vineyards, pastures and farm animals. You’ve definitely come to the right place to indulge in the perfect afternoon of wine tasting!

Mention this ad for 2 for 1 Tasting

Step into the Los Olivos tasting room and Toretti Family Vineyards’ spirit instantly kicks to life. The tasting room is nestled in the heart of Los Olivos “Off Grand” where the locals will tell you to go. The black & white photo-lined walls tell the history of the Toretti famly. The leather saddle in the corner, the vintage spurs, the standup bass and the rustic Swiss flag are all part of their history.

Make your way up to the bar to taste their awardwinning wines or lounge at one of the many comfortable seating areas with a glass of Estate Pinot Noir. The family planted five acres of Pinot Noir in 2000 on their Santa Maria Valley estate. Family-owned and operated, they produce small, handcrafted lots, turning out 700 cases annually which puts them at the “boutique” level.

The 2017 tasting lineup includes 3-5 Estate Pinots, Estate Rosada and locally sourced Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay. The Pinot is barrel aged for close to two years in varying degrees of new French oak resulting in each label having its own distinct taste.

The wines tend to be Burdundian in style due to the Santa Maria Valley weather conditions and earthy terroir.

Visit the Los Olivos tasting room on any given weekend and meet the owner, Bob Torres who will be the one in the cowboy hat shaking hands, sharing his story and sharing his wine with a smile.

The tasting room is open until 7:30 Friday and Saturday.

LIONS PEAK VINEYARDS ‘Discover Our Passion For Fine Wine’ If you are looking for quality, small-lot, hand-crafted boutique wines, look no further than Lions Peak Vineyards Tasting Room and Hospitality Center in the quaint Danish Village of Solvang. The beautifully appointed tasting room has a unique collection of well-organized current releases and Library Wines from the vineyard’s highly acclaimed, estate-grown, noteworthy vintages, some dating back to 1994. A treasure of gold and silver medals and silky satin ribbons grace artistically labeled bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Lionnesse and more. Those illuminate the history of Lions Peak and the passionate winemaking journey of Jennifer Arant.

In 1992, Arant purchased one of the oldest vineyards on the Central Coast—a 120-acre, 1500-foot hillside estate in the Paso Robles AVA with 40 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon vines which date back to the early 1970s. The Wine Estate focuses on ultra-premium, limited quantities, Old World-styled Cabernet Sauvignon and exhibits unique microclimates, calcareous soils and viticulture practices.

From the first commercial release in 1994, owner, winemaker and Sommelier, Jennifer Arant’s Bordeaux wines have received prestigious accolades. Other than the old vine Estate in the Paso Robles AVA, Arant is in the process of reopening a Lions Peak Tasting Room in Paso Robles at the winery. This new location will serve as integration for visitors, wine club members, and the trade and media to the Winery and Estate Vineyard.

At this time, you are welcomed to stop in the tasting room for a casual glass of wine: however, to fully experience the diverse range of the excellent portfolio, we recommend that you try one of the four flights offered daily. Select a menu including a gold and silver award winning red flight, a red or white flight, or a Port chocolate pairing with three pours and, if you wish, add a cheese platter to your Bordeaux award-winning red flight.

The tasting room staff is always eager to share their extensive knowledge with beginners and seasoned oenophiles alike.

LINCOURT VINEYARDS Rural charm and incredible wines from the Sta. Rita Hills Lincourt embodies the casual graciousness of Santa Barbara. Named after Proprietor Bill Foley’s daughters, Lindsay and Courtney, the winery retains the rural charm and simplicity of an earlier era. Lincourt began in 1996 when Foley fell in love with the rugged coastline, picturesque towns and camouflaged hills of Santa Barbara County. The Sta. Rita Hills AVA is one of California's most coveted, cool-climate viticultural regions. Lincourt wines express the elegant complexity of the estate vineyards in this premier AVA. Winemaker Lorna Kreutz has been harnessing the uniqueness of the Sta. Rita Hills terroir for more than a decade. Using smal-lot fermentation and French oak barrels, Kreutz produces handcrafted wines from start to finish. Lincourt wines hail from two estate vineyards: Rancho Santa Rosa East and West. Their core offerings include Rancho Santa Rosa Pinot Noir, Rancho Santa Rosa Chardonnay, Steel Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon. These vineyards are farmed “vine by vine,” taking the best blocks (or rows) of the grapes. Each lot is kept separate throughout vinification up until the final blend, allowing the uniqueness of each individual

block to shine. In addition to their core wines, they produce small quantities of special bottlings for club members and visitors. To ensure the vitality of the land and the authenticity of their wines, Lincourt uses sustainable methods in all of their farming and winemaking practices.

Year after year, Lincourt wines receive consistently high acclaims from top reviewers and competitions. In fact, The 2014 Rancho Santa Rosa Chardonnay and Pinot Noir both recently received 93 points from Wine Enthusiast.

The Lincourt tasting room is conveniently located just outside the town of Solvang. Once a dairy property – the yellow Craftsman-style house was originally ordered out of the Sears and Roebuck catalogue in 1926 for around $400. Now, nearly 100 years later, the home remains in much of the same condition. As one of the most unique and historic tasting rooms in all of Santa Barbara, the relaxing atmosphere and beautiful property offer something for the whole family – wine tasting, picnicking or enjoying a bottle as you bask in the beauty of the Sta. Rita Hills. The perfect spot to spend a leisurely day in the Valley, Lincourt is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

LAFOND WINERY & VINEYARDS Two Locations to Taste Stellar Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah There’s nothing like wine and waves and Santa Barbara’s trendy Funk Zone; just two blocks from the beach is the location of the Lafond City Tasting Room. Sitting near its sister winery, Santa Barbara Winery, Lafond offers a small but classy environment to sample world class wines including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. A $12 tasting fee includes five to six different tastes and you get to keep the logo wine glass.

It was 1962 when Pierre Lafond opened the very first winery in Santa Barbara County since Prohibition and these days Lafond is still an industry leader. They were one of the first to plant grapes in what would called the Santa Rita Hills area, now known for stellar Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Being distinct in its climate and geography permitted long hang time, which maximizes the flavors in the grapes and results in wines of structure and balance. Their Santa Rita Hills appellation wines immediately started winning

awards. Sure, there are quite a few wine tasting rooms down by the beach to choose from, but what sets Lafond apart is that many of their smalllot production wines are under 200 cases, so they have very limited availability.

The City Tasting Room also has local art and shelves laden with unique gift items. Lafond has an additional tasting room located at their vineyard site in Buellton as well, offering tours at a traditional vineyard. The wine lists at both tasting rooms vary so it’s best to consider visiting both places to get the full Lafond experience. Better still visit Lafond near the beach, take a stroll by the water then visit Santa Barbara Winery and you’ll have an epic Santa Barbara wine and waves experience!

Lafond not only owns Lafond Winery and Santa Barbara Winery, but a restaurant, a deli, home furnishings and five women’s boutique clothing stores with his wife, Wendy Foster.

Lafond Winery City Tasting Room: Open Sunday – Thursday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday – Saturday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. | 111 East Yanonali Street, Santa Barbara | (805) 845-2020 Lafond Winery & Vineyards: Open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. | 6855 Santa Rosa Road, Buellton | (805) 688-7921 | www.lafondwinery.com

SANTA BARBARA WINERY Established in 1962 Founded in 1962, Santa Barbara Winery is Santa Barbara’s first commercial winery since the prohibition era. In fact, Santa Barbara Winery opened its doors ten years before any other winery in Santa Barbara County. Today, the winery and tasting room are at the heart of Santa Barbara’s Urban Wine Trail, just blocks from the beautiful Pacific Ocean.

Winemaker Bruce McGuire has been with Santa Barbara Winery for more than 30 years. He is known in local wine circles as the “Yoda” of Santa Barbara Wine Country for his vast knowledge, inscrutable demeanor and often cryptic phraseology. Bruce’s winemaking philosophy begins in the vineyard. He believes the quality and integrity of the wine is extricably linked to what happens in the field, from pruning in winter, to the harvest in autumn.

Santa Barbara is home to four separate American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), each with its own distinct climates and soil types, which allows local growers to grow a variety of different grapes throughout the county. In 1996, Santa Barbara Winery expanded to include a new line of premium wines dedicated to producing exclusively vineyard and appellation designated Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah.

While Santa Barbara Winery is best known for their Santa

Barbara County Chardonnay, which can be found nationwide and abroad, they specialize in a multitude of varietal wines made from French and Italian grapes of both fame and obscurity.

Santa Barbara Winery also offers award-winning wines made from such familiar grapes as Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as less commonly encountered botrytized dessert wines, the very rare deep, dark Lagrein, and more. All of the grapes used are sourced from estate vineyards and neighboring vineyards in Santa Barbara County.

The tasting room is located in the winery itself. You can enjoy a flight of the current vintage while watching the next vintage being made. Santa Barbara Winery also offers wines by the glass and private, candlelit VIP tastings in the barrel-aging room, accompanied by a gourmet cheese platter and the undivided attention of your own personal sommelier – this requires reservations made at least 24 hours in advance.

Sign up for the Santa Barbara Winery Wine Club and receive 20% off of your purchases of Santa Barbara Winery and Lafond Winery wines as well as free tastings at both wineries.

here are upwards of 400 wineries throughout the Central Coast, from Paso Robles down through Santa Barbara, each with its own unique personality. What

Daou Vineyards

Paso Robles: The Wild West Grown Up Paso Robles (in San Luis Obispo County) has roots deep in cowboy history. Once a rough and tumble town (co-founded

by Drury James, uncle of outlaws Jesse and Frank James), today Paso Robles is a world-class, wine-producing region.

Located midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, this is a must visit Central Coast wine country destination.

Experience the East Side of Paso Robles Wine Country If you haven’t visited Paso Robles before, make Tobin James Cellars your first stop. If you have visited before, welcome back to the watering hole! The moment you step into this Old West-themed tasting room, you know you are in for a great time: good wines with happy, laughing, friendly people. There is always a party going on here. Built on the site of an 1800s stagecoach stop (the restored stagecoach building now a guest house), you immediately have the feeling of the Old Wild West. Entering the tasting room, step up to the 1860s Brunswick mahogany saloon bar from Blue Eye, Missouri. Sample award-winning wines, listen to western music in the background and enjoy the ambience of yesteryear! Tobin (Toby) James’ (no relation to Jesse James) initial release, a 1985 Blue Moon Zinfandel, instantly received praise and medals; this was the beginning of Tobin James Cellars becoming a mainstay of the Paso Robles wine country.

Come visit and join the party!

No trip to Paso Robles is complete without visiting Eberle Winery. Gary Eberle, recognized as “The Godfather of Paso Robles Wine Country,” has had a significant influence on the development of this entire wine region. Arriving in Paso Robles in 1973, his initial label, a 1979 Cabernet Sauvignon, was released in 1981. An early Paso wine country pioneer,

Tobin James Cellars

Eberle is one of the first winemakers to grow and produce Cabernet Sauvignon in the Central Coast, and is the first winemaker in the United States to grow and produce 100% Syrah. An additional groundbreaking achievement in the region are the wine caves Eberle built in 1994. The abundance of awards and accolades for the wines and winery of this visionary are well deserved. During your visit, before or after the complimentary wine tasting, take advantage of touring the facility and stunning underground caves. The history of Eberle Winery parallels the maturation of the Paso Robles wine industry. The former Penn State football player and his wife live on the property, and when not travelling, Eberle works at the winery daily, doing what he loves best, greeting people and sharing his iconic wines.

Villa San-Juliette Vineyard & Winery has raised the bar on vineyard experiences by offering private jeep tours through the rolling hills of the estate vineyard. Explore the vineyard, sip award-winning wines and pose for pictures along the way. The 35-minute tours run Friday through Sunday and are $15 per person for the public and $10 per person for winery club members. Reservations are suggested.

Wine is a form of art. At Sculpterra Winery and Sculpture Garden, art is elegantly combined with wine tasting. Arriving, your eyes will feast on the grounds and the vines, especially the breathtaking sculptures surrounding you.

Venturing into the gardens you will delight upon the larger than life figures that encompassing you, take your time to savor, explore and be amazed. Meandering around you will encounter Central Park West, a game area where you may play bocce, foosball, chess or table tennis. As you enter the tasting room, the comfortable space welcomes you, with walls adorned by works of world-class artists. Sculpterra Winery and Sculpture Garden was recently voted one of the 12 best wineries in California by the online lifestyle publication, Culture Trip, and it’s no wonder … a visit to Sculpterra is an adventure in wine and art, set among an elegant tasting room surrounded by breathtaking gardens.

Paso Robles Westside Experiences It’s hard to beat the all-encompassing ambience and personal attention you will receive during your private tasting at Law Estate Wines. After several years searching for the “perfect” site to grow premium grapes and build their state-ofthe-art winery, Don and Susie Law found what they described as their “Holy Grail.” Beginning with their 2010 release (in 2012), winemaker Scott Hawley has consistently produced a lineup of highly awarded, ultra-premium wines. Arriving at your appointed time, you may be seated in in front of the fireplace, at the “living room” table, or in one of the patio areas. You may even make a reservation to taste in the elegant library. Your group’s personal tasting attendant will explain the wines and answer your questions, as you taste through the LATITUDE 35°

current lineup, side by side, providing you the opportunity to compare how the wines develop over time in the glass. This is a wine tasting and educational experience not to be missed.

Drink in the wines, the winery and the surrounding vista in this most intimate setting.

Without a doubt, Daou Mountain has an allure that is unsurpassed: The views, the wine and the people. First-time visitors will be hooked by the tasting and the heavenly high by being at the top of the world. Those who have visited before already know the dreamlike experience of sipping remarkable 85

wine, watching the hawks soar and the sun set, and simply exhaling. This is DAOU Vineyards. Brothers Daniel and Georges Daou had a dream and vision: To produce California first-growth, world-class wines, specifically Cabernet Sauvignon, that would validate the unique terroir of Paso Robles and change the world of wine. The dream has been realized, and the vision continues. Come to Daou Mountain to immerse yourself in “all that is Daou.” Choose from a number of tasting and wine pairing options available to tantalize your

palate. Experience DAOU Vineyards, feel what it’s like to be on top of the world, and don’t be surprised if during your visit Georges or Daniel sits down to share a glass with you. (Note: reservations are required for some tastings).

Fronting the 101 freeway by the 46 West is a new area becoming home to a number of small production boutique wineries, Tin City. Tucked away in an area of small industrial buildings is where Nicora Wines has its winery and tasting room. Enjoy a private one-on-one tasting with Nick Elliott, Nicora’s proprietor and winemaker, who describes himself as a “winemaker, forklift driver, adventurer.” Nick’s wines are reflective of his adventurous, out-of-the-box winemaking style. Arriving in Paso Robles in 2001, Nick lacked winemaking experience. Falling in love with the area, people and wines of Paso Robles, guided by passion and hard work, under the mentorship of Scott Hawley (proprietor and winemaker for Torrin Vineyard and winemaker for Law Estate Wines), Nick discovered a new path. His initial release, (the 2009 Buxom and 2009 Euphoric), received immediate acclaim from the wine community. Since then his lineup has grown along with his reputation. Nick takes pleasure in arranging private tasting appointments and winery tours. Sip, chat and experience one-on-one, the passion and love Nick puts into each bottle bearing the Nicora name.

Santa Barbara County Zaca Mesa Winery is located down a winding road, surrounded by the Santa Ynez Mountains, nine miles from Los Olivos. One of the first wineries in the region established after the end of prohibition, Zaca Mesa produces highly awarded wines, specializing in Rhône varietals. Arriving, you may be taken in by the grounds, the original barn, the comfortable tasting room or even the life-size patio chess game! Zaca Mesa exudes friendliness, comfort, beauty and wine education. Among the many tastings and educational experiences offered is a most unique and noteworthy Riedel Glass tasting. Asking the question, “Does the glass really matter,” the answer is a most resounding, yes! Taste six Rhône varietals (including several highly rated Syrahs) in a Riedel Hermitage glass, side by side with a “normal” tasting glass.

You will appreciate how the glass subtly influences and improves the bouquet and sense of taste. This is an adventure in wine not to be missed, (offered weekdays only).

Producing primarily hand-crafted Pinot Noir and Chardonnay (“and whatever else hits our fancy” says winemaker/owner Brian Loring), Loring Wine Company in Buellton offers one of the most unique and tasty wine pairings in the area: Cookies and wine! Loring’s Artisan Cookie Pairing Experience is offered with either of Loring’s regular wine flights. April Pharoah (chef and tasting room manager) comments that the pairings “are crafted to compliment the LATITUDE 35°

incredible flavors of Santa Barbara County.” The cookies, (lemon pistachio; cherry shortbread; manchego and toasted walnut biscuit; goat Gouda biscuit; and chocolate sea salt caramel) are expertly matched with Loring Pinots, Chardonnays and a special Divergence blend. The cookies and wines complement each other, giving the taster a memorable experience that excites and pleases the senses and palate. Don’t miss an chance to visit the wines and cookies of Loring Wine Company. YUM! (Note: Always check with wineries in advance if reservations are required and hours of operation).

Visiting a winery tasting room may sometimes be intimidating, especially if you are not used to wine tasting and aren’t quite sure what to expect. Following the guidelines and etiquette tips below will help enhance your experience as you travel through the wine country of California’s Central Coast.

Be aware, although some wineries don’t charge for tastings, most do. Figure an “average” tasting fee may be $10-$30. Many wineries will also waive the fee with a purchase, always ask. Ready to taste? Let’s get started!

• Don’t be self-conscious to share a tasting with your companion – it’s not looked on as being cheap, in fact, it’s smart.

• Don’t worry if you “don’t know good wine.” “Good wine” is what you like. Period.

• You don’t have to finish the glass. You are tasting, not drinking – use the dump bucket. Those little sips add up fast.

• You don’t have to like everything poured. The reason you are tasting is to see what you do and don’t like.

• Take time to smell the roses, or wine! Swirl the wine in the bowl of the glass then take your time, put your nose into the bowl of the glass…and inhale to experience the bouquet. See what fragrances you can identify: Earthy? Lemon scented?

Honeysuckle? Cherry? Tobacco? It’s okay if you don’t identify any of those things, with time and tasting you will!

• Remember the five “S’s” of wine tasting: See (the wine in the glass), Swirl, Smell, Sip and Savor. (Take a small sip. Let the liquid surround your taste buds, what flavors can you identify)?

• Ask questions! Remember…there are no stupid questions. You are there to enjoy and learn, and your server is there to help you.

• Don’t feel self-conscious expressing your opinion, there is no right or wrong.

• Don’t feel pressured to buy a bottle or to join a wine club, (however, if the tasting is free, or if you have a private tasting with a winemaker, it is good form to purchase a bottle).

• Leave a tip if you have had a nice experience ($3-$10 generally).

• Enjoy yourself and remember, what you like today, you may not like tomorrow; your taste and palate may change, and that’s a good thing.

• Don’t wear scents into a tasting room (cologne or perfume), and try not to wear white!

• Ask your server to recommend their favorite wineries to visit.

• Seek smaller, out of the way, boutique wineries.

• Hydrate—hydrate—hydrate! Hint: Drink one glass of water for each glass of wine.

• Bring something to snack on such as crackers, breadsticks or a baguette. Take time for lunch. When picnicking at a winery, never drink wine from another winery.

• Try to plan ahead. Do some research to determine if there is a tasting fee, if appointments are necessary and the policy on dogs and children. In general, three to four wineries will fill your day.

• If possible have a designated driver. If staff feels you have had enough to drink they may refuse service, it’s for your own well-being.

• Trust your palate. Don’t worry if you don’t like what your friends or companions like.

Not everyone likes the same things. This is about you – not them.

BY DONALD SONDERLING • Enjoy yourself!

The Castoro Experience After 33 years in business, Castoro Cellars still strives to offer one of the most diverse wine country experiences around. It’s no secret they have been producing a wide variety of award winning wines for decades but for them the experience doesn’t stop at the bottle. From live music and disc golf to yoga and brunch, they’ve got something for everyone.

In 2014, Castoro debuted the Whale Rock Disc Golf Course and Ranch Tour, a roaring success.

Played much like traditional golf, disc golf uses a disc in the place of ball and clubs. The intent of the game is to throw a disc into an elevated metal basket instead of a hole as in traditional golf. The setting of the course is truly stunning with a variety of old growth oak trees, vines and rolling hills. One of the best things about disc golf is that it’s family friendly and if nothing else a great excuse to get outside and enjoy Mother Nature.

Located a short distance from the tasting room, it’s the perfect way to break up the day and do something a little different.

Another wonderful experience that has grown in the past year is the monthly yoga and brunch classes. These classes feature an hour-long, alllevels yoga class followed by a delicious brunch and our Methode Champenoise sparkling wine.

Guests can enjoy early access to the property and a serene setting for both yoga and the tasty experience that follows! In house Yogini, Lauren Harvey, teaches all classes, and they strive to utilize the best local food they can find. Reserving a spot in advance is strongly advised.

Their most diverse offering of the year is Whale Rock Music Festival, a two-day music and arts festival in the vineyard that features talent from all over the country and activities for all ages. Attendees can enjoy world-class music, art exhibitions, yoga classes, craft beer, delicious food and of course, Dam Fine Wine! Set amongst a grove of old-growth oak trees, you really couldn’t ask for a better spot to enjoy this family friendly festival. Beaverstock benefits the local Templeton School District and takes place the third weekend in September every year so mark your calendars, tell your friends and join us for an unforgettable time!

The entire family is invited to come experience Castoro Cellars, open daily 10am to 5:30pm.
