Welcome to
San Luis
Obispo County
Welcome to California’s scenic Central
Coast, where the arrival of fall brings
crisp, refreshing weather. Thank you for picking
up this newest edition of the San Luis Obispo
County Visitor’s Guide!
There is no shortage of places to explore
and experiences to enjoy throughout the
Central Coast. As temperatures begin to
ease, fall is an ideal season for spending time
outdoors while discovering local landmarks,
dining destinations, wineries, boutiques, and
one-of-a-kind shops. With the holidays ap-
proaching, everyone begins planning holiday
activities and making special shopping lists.
Holiday shopping becomes even more
memorable at the annual Cambria Christmas
Market at Cambria Pines Lodge. Bring the
family to wander among 3 million sparkling
lights, visit Santa, browse handcrafted gifts,
and enjoy the season’s magic. Learn more
about the Christmas Market in this issue,
then add it to your holiday plans.
Fall also marks a lively season for antici-
pated community events, festivals, and har-
vest celebrations. These gatherings highlight
the work of local artists, makers, chefs, and
winemak-
ers, while
honoring
the abundance
produced by
the region’s
farms and vineyards. During harvest season,
area wineries welcome guests into their tast-
ing rooms to enjoy favorite award-winning
pours.
Inside these pages, you’ll find helpful
ideas for experiencing SLO County winer-
ies, restaurants, boutiques, museums, trails,
beaches, outdoor recreation, and welcoming
places to stay. Every page offers new ways to
make the most of your visit, with options the
entire family can enjoy.
From all of us on the staff, welcome to San
Luis Obispo County. We hope your time on
the Central Coast is truly enjoyable!
Beth Brennan and her family
welcome you to San Luis
Obispo County.
