In the Santa Maria Valley, wine enthusiasts can experience a little piece of vino heaven.
A drive through the Santa Maria Valley’s robust wine region reveals verdant vineyards spilling over gently rolling hills, pastoral back country roads, and strikingly beautiful panoramas. Unspoiled by mainstream crowds, the wine trail allows for visitors to enjoy a tranquil and leisure wine experience in a region that hasn’t forgotten the importance of hospitality.

The diversity of great wine is due to a variety of soil types and the vintner’s ability to match these different soils to appropriate grape varieties. The Pacific coastal position allows for cool breezes and fog to run through the valley. Warm days, dry summers and cool nights create a favorable environment for the wine grapes and visitors alike. Even if wine isn’t “your thing”, you can’t help but appreciate the peacefulness and splendor of the Central Coast Wine Country and all it has to offer its visitors.
