The Central Coast Region boasts a rich tradition in winemaking and viniculture dating back to the mission era of the late 17th century.   Today, scores of wineries and over a hundred vineyards growing premium wine grapes dot the oak savannah-covered hillsides and  our spectacular scenic coast. 

Here, a day of wine touring begins with a pleasant drive along un-crowded rural country roads.  Visitors discover small family-owned wineries where they're greeted with genuine warmth and treated like an old friend.  Chat with the winemaker, enjoy a picnic on winery grounds, and sample finely-crafted, award-winning wines.

Most of the following wineries and shops offer tastings to the public. Please call ahead to inquire about hours open, tours, and tasting fees.
