A great place to walk around and enjoy local wine, food, and more. We recommend Onx for wine, Barrelhouse for beer, and Etto for food (dine in or stop by their market!).

Paso Robles has the most charming downtown! There are so many great places for wine tasting, eating, and shopping. We love Red Scooter Deli and Spearhead Coffee.

Ancient Peaks is just down the road from Riata Ranch, and has delicious wine and a great cafe lunch menu.

We spent a lot of time in Downtown San Luis Obispo when we lived here! This is a great place to walk around and get a taste of SLO. Firestone is a SLO must-try!

If you're looking to hit the beach while you're on the central coast, we recommend Avila. This is where we got engaged! On the way out, stop by Avila Valley Barn for all the best local food (produce, pickles, jam, pies, apple cider, the list goes on...)
