Crush Comin' On
She's the southern belle of wine regions and she's ripe for the picking! Scenic and serene Edna Valley—just minutes from downtown San Luis Obispo—is celebrating harvest season with barrels of grape activities this September. Go where the sun shines, the country roads roll, and mom-and-pop wineries happily share their favorite local lore—and delicious vintages. Relax and uncork at Edna Valley Vineyard's 30th anniversary celebration, starring estate-grown chardonnay. Get all dressed up with somewhere to go: Taste of San Luis Obispo in the beautiful Mission Plaza will rock the casbah with live music, epicurean fare and palate-pleasing libations from 60 local restaurants, caterers, wineries, and breweries. And SAVOR the Central Coast as Sunset magazine brings one of the biggest food and wine events to San Luis Obispo, with more than 200 local wineries and 30-plus chefs. There's plenty more food and wine events; print a wine country map, and get the details on 37 centrally located hotels and special wine tour packages. What a crush!
