Los Olivos, CA
LOS OLIVOS | ancestral Chumash land
Our home! This small stagecoach-stop town is barely more than 2 cross-streets, featuring an abundance of wine tasting rooms, a few delightful restaurants and two grassy picnic areas. On weekends, our favorite locals play live music from their home in the center of town, creating the perfect ambience for a people-watching picnic on a late summer afternoon.
Drink: Demetria Vineyard (wine tasting, in the hills)
Drink: Community Craft (local wine + beer run by a lovely local couple)
Drink: Carhartt Vineyard (wine tasting, in town)
a bottle of carhartt rosé never fails to chase the sunday blues away
Drink: Tin City Cider (an offshoot of the beloved Paso cider company. try their slushie!)
Stay: Fess Parker Inn (if you’re looking for a super-central location and don’t mind a large price tag, this hotel promises wine country luxury, a small spa and bikes to borrow for your wine-infused meanderings)

Nella’s scallops + artichokes
