Things To Do

The Central Coast has lots to offer. Here’s a list of a few of our favorites!&nbsp;

If you’re not from California, it’s likely you’ve never heard of tri-tip. Go here for their famous tri-tip sandwich!

Firestone Grill

Some of the best sandwiches around. It was also the location of Conner and Nicole’s first lunch date.

High Street Deli

San Luis Obispo has some of the best delis. But if you go here, you need to try their “Almost Famous” breakfast burrito.

Lincoln Deli

Unsure where to go? Walk through downtown and you got options!&nbsp;

Downtown SLO

Wine

Bring a picnic to enjoy with your wine tasting. A keepsake wine glass is included with wine tastings here.&nbsp;

Rancho Sisquoc Winery

In addition to their red and whites, try some of their apple wines and cider. Bonus: you’re likely going to see peacocks during your visit.

Kelsey See Canyon Vineyards

Beautiful location, fantastic wines!&nbsp;

Opolo Vineyards

Wine tasting… in a castle! Moat and all. How cool is that?

Tooth and Nail Wine Company

Several great blends and with witty labels; great for a souvenir or a gift!

Chronic Cellars

Located in a small warehouse district, park the car and almost 20 wine tasting rooms are in walking distance.

Tin City

Beer

Barrel House Brewing

Liquid Gravity Brewing Company

Manrock Brewing Company

Hikes

An easy, relatively flat 3-mile hike on Cal Poly’s campus. Check out old Senior Projects from the college’s architecture program.&nbsp;
