November 14, 2021 Roger Rusk

Halfway between San Francisco and L.A., San Luis Obispo can be a relaxing getaway or a buzz of activity. For serenity, pack a lunch and head to one of dozens of wineries or take a drive to the beach for a leisurely swim. For a dose of history, visit the heart of the city at the beautiful Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. Kids will love the Children’s Museum or Skate Park. Be sure to stroll along the creek downtown, where there are breweries, wine bars, restaurants and shopping for all tastes.

Sextant Wines

Reviewed By thawsout - Orcutt, United States

This is a quaint, unique wine tasting stop; nestled in the rolling pasture lands of old Price canyon road north of Arroyo Grande. The staff are very friendly and informative; the wine choices are very good and the ambiance is excellent! Where else can you enjoy sitting in the revamped Old Edna Valley post office with a nice glass of wine and a choice of delicious freshly prepared with local ingredients deli selection? The gift shop is great for tourists as is walking around the old outbuildings and attractive garden plantings. Don’t miss this must see wine tasting stop!

Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa Museum & Gift Shop

Reviewed By AandEGjr - Salt Lake City, United States

Wandered into to mission after Sunday services. Very impressed with the museum that offered Catholic history as well as history of the indigenous people of the area. AND this was all free with a suggested donation. A must see if you like missions !!
