Ask us for a complimentary wine tasting at Fermentations around the corner. A great place to try local wines, they have a good selection of wine and wine accessories. Fermentations is walking distance from our Motel.

10 mins south this is a great winery and one of the only local wineries on highway 1. Don't miss their great Pinot.

A great local winery, check out their tasting room just down the street at 801 main street. We love their Viognier.

Paso West Side / Adelaide
(20 - 30 min drive from Cambria)

Whalebone Vineyard is one of our favorite local wineries for several reasons. First, the wine is amazing, If you like red's, they are big but not too big, very drinkable. Their cab and syrah are my favorites but don't miss their blend either, as it is very reasonably priced and just a great "any occasion" wine. Besides their great wine, Whalebone is situated up on a hill on the north end of a small valley.  This location offers a great view and is a perfect little place for an afternoon picnic. The vineyard gets its name from the whale and marine fossils trapped in the vineyards' broken shale and limestone and if you look around the front yard you can see some of these old fossils.

Another local winery that we frequent as often as we can. Adelaida is another of our recommendations so if you stop in here don't  miss their Cabernet and their Pinot is to die for.

Um... I almost don't want to write anything here as many people already know the Justin story but what I will say is that they do produce a very fine product.  The Justin Cabernet's remind me of many of my favorite Napa Cab's.

Jada is one of our newer hip wineries that we recommend for anyone looking for an up and coming winery experience.  They have a new tasting room with great views and their wine is fast becoming a recognizable name on the central coast.

A small Italian familia winery, very inexpensive and a perfect example of Paso west side zin.  We always grab a bottle of their Sauvignon Blanc

A long time favorite, this boutique vineyard  has been one of those small bodega's that we just cant help returning to.

OK, If you like white wine you should enjoy this but I go to this vineyard for one reason only and that is the view. Pack a picnic and go here, it is amazing, you won't find a better view from a tasting room anywhere on the central coast.

Our Favorite Local Wine

http://www.brochelle.com
Brochelle Vineyards is by far our favorite local winery. Brochelle is known for their fruity west side zin which is amazing. Try to get your hands on a bottle of their Syra for a truly special experience (good luck though they are almost always sold out). Brochelle is a local boutique winery and doesn't offer a tasting room but you can find their wine at many local wine shops and you can also order direct at brochelle.com .
