Bounty of the County

  As one of the most popular wine regions in the world, coupled with exceptional, hands-on family farms, San Luis Obispo is a back-to-nature experience like no other.  Let us show you the bounty of our county!
 
Enjoy two nights at The Apple Farm, as well as an exclusive guided tour to some of our county's best kept secrets.  We will take you in a private coach for a tour of the historic Santa Margarita Ranch, and afterwards sample wines at its nearby Ancient Peaks Winery tasting room. Then, on to Eberle Winery in Paso Robles where a tasty boxed lunch will be served along with a guided cave tour, including a behind-the-scenes look at the wine making process. Eberle is also providing a special tasting room-only list of wines for your enjoyment. 
 
Next, we will take you to a working goat farm, where you will have the chance to make your own cheese and even milk a goat! Finally, immerse yourself in the heady aroma and beauty of a lavender farm. Walk through the fields and see lavender oil made, then taste cookies and lemonade infused with the plant.
 
Spend your last night relaxing in a luxurious guest room, deciding if in your next life you will be a winemaker, goat farmer, or lavender whisperer.
