San Luis Obispo & South County Wine Tasting
Sip wine among the barrels
at Claiborne and Churchill
Winery
Claiborne & Churchill Win-
ery, still run by original owners
Claiborne and Fredericka
Churchill Thompson, has been
producing Alsatian-style whites
since 1983. In 1995, the couple
built their pioneering, eco-
friendly straw bale-constructed
winery and opened their tasting
room in the Edna Valley. Over
the years, they have expanded
their picturesque garden area to
accommodate more guests and
larger parties for tastings and
seasonal events.
The upscale, welcoming tast-
ing room is located in the barrel
room, allowing the popular
producer to accommodate more
visitors comfortably. Reserva-
tions are available for small
private events such as birthdays,
anniversaries, and graduation
parties.
Centrally located in SLO
Wine Country, Claiborne &
Churchill’s vacation property is
only a ten-minute drive from
Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo,
or Arroyo Grande, and a fifteen-
minute drive to Cal Poly. Their
guest cottage is perfect for a
weekend, for visiting students
at Cal Poly, or for anyone just
looking for a relaxing getaway.
Rental is available through
VRBO/Homeaway, or by
emailing elizabeth@claiborne-
