Roam this 101-mile stretch of Highway 1 in San Luis Obispo County (SLO CAL) where you'll find 10 uncrowded beaches, 12 state parks, Hearst Castle, three bountiful wine regions, farm-to-table cuisine, and unique wildlife habitats. Wherever you roam along the Highway 1 Discovery Route, you will find the best of Highway 1!
This is a wonderful road that for many mikes is along the Pacific coast. Do not use it as a freeway, it is not. Great scenic drive with lots to see and do along the way. Most is one lane in each direction, but the scenery is not something that you will want to speed past.

It took 28 years to complete William Randolph Hearst's lavish estate, which includes 165 rooms on 125 acres.
I totally recommend this tour as it provides a stunning glimpse into the private luxury of Hearst in a much more intimate detail than what is evident on the Grand Rooms tour. Wanted to go to the kitchen tour but it was sold out. Maybe next time.

Nature at it's finest. The best time to go is when the weather is a little warm. You will see clusters of beautiful butterflies in the eucalyptus grove by the beach. Keep an eye out for the owl! There are knowledgable docents and telescopes set up for you to see the monarchs up close.

Every Thursday night through out the year, the city hosts a delightful outdoor market/festival where local farmers sell the freshest fruits, vegetables and produce while local musicians and performers entertain the crowds.
Love the farmers’ market in SLO. It’s a street party every week! Be sure to check it out if you’re in the area.

Home to flocks of Peregrine falcons, egrets and blue herons, the 50-acre Morro Rock is the last in a chain of extinct volcanoes.
only spent 0ne night and a morning in this lovely laid back little town.lots of free parking down by the water,there are loads of individual shops to browse,look out for the garden centre/come shop,one of the best we have ever seen! if you get a chance try the galley restuarant( which sits right on the waters edge),great sea food! this little town is a real gem,give it a try.

TOBIN JAMES-IT'S ALL TRUE!! Open 10 - 6 daily. Tobin James Cellars, established in 1985, is famous for its rich, intense Cabernet Sauvignons, Zinfandels, Syrahs, Merlot, Bordeaux blends, Chardonnay and many other varietals. Tasting at the Grand Antique Bar, the popular Tasting Room is always a must for wine lovers. The legendary James Gang Wine Club is a growing testament to the winery's commitment to excellent quality and its fun, unpretentious approach to wine. Complimentary tasting. Only closed Christmas Day.
What an amazing wine tasting experience at Tobin James! First, I was surprised at a review that said that the winery was not COVID safe. That could not be further from the truth. When we arrived for our reservation, all staff members were wearing masks, our temperatures were taken before we were allowed in, and we were told to please wear a mask until we got to our tasting station. The tasting stations were well distanced along a stretch of long tables. What made this winery the absolute best for tasting during this COVID period is that each tasting area had a staff member that poured whatever wine you wanted from the Tobin James portfolio! Every other tasting we did at other wineries in the area that day only offered flights with limited staff interaction and sometimes long waits between flights. The pours were usually not very generous and because of limited staff, re-pours were difficult. At Tobin James, if you wanted more of what you especially liked, your server was right there and more than happy to do so...thank you Kaye! The wines at Tobin James were outstanding with a good range of different varietals at different price points. I found other wineries had increased their prices substantially from what I remember, so that was somewhat disappointing, and really can limit your wine purchases, especially if you are on a tighter budget. Their Wine Club is really different as well and a real bargain for the quality of wines offered, Thanks again Tobin James for a wonder wine experience and please thank Kaye for us!

Brothers Daniel and Georges searched and found the ideal place with a perfect terroir in the Adelaida AVA in Paso Robles, California. Two brothers, one dream. Grow and produce great Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux Blends.
Wow, with its spectacular views, knowledgeable and friendly staff, delicious dishes and exquisite wine tasting experience, I’d have to say this is a must do experience for visitors who enjoy the fiber things in life. The entire experience was magical, special and romantic. Loved the story about the French Lebanese family and how the business evolved. Really enjoyed the open seating arrangements, strategically placed so anywhere you sat, the views were spectacular. The staff practiced mask wearing and hygiene safety guidelines. The venue is stunning with its gorgeous wrought iron gate, wrought iron doors and interior VIP room. It felt like walking into a vineyard palace with its interior extravagance and European architectural inspiration. There’s a small parking space but that was totally fine since the experience is so well worth it. Highly recommend! The wine tasting experience was very special and well paced. They dishes were thoughtfully arranged both beautiful and delicious. We had the smoked ribeye salad and onyx mezze charcuterie.

TEMPORARILY CLOSED This Pismo Beach Pier is currently closed to the Public due to the Pier Rehabilitation Project
Beautiful views, lots of shops and restaurants. The new upgrades were definitely needed and done well.
