In San Luis Obispo (SLO) Wine Country on California’s Central Coast, the Pacific Ocean shapes our culture, our land and our wines. Here, where our vineyards are located just five miles on average from the waves, the prevailing coastal conditions are among the most pronounced of any wine region. Add to that our farm-to-fork lifestyle, unhurried pace, storybook landscape and wide-open beaches, and you have a wine destination like no other.
Come for a taste of what locals call “the SLO life.”
2 | S L O W I N E C O U N T R Y A S S O C I AT I O N
More than 23 varieties are grown here, including some of the world’s finest Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Albariùo, Grenache, Sauvignon Blanc and more.
Our vineyards reside in the small and contiguous American Viticultural Areas of the Edna Valley and Arroyo Grande Valley, as well as in neighboring areas such as Avila Valley and Pismo Beach. The pronounced coastal conditions of SLO Wine Country yield wines with intense flavors and natural elegance.
Edna Valley AVA Edna Valley in the heart of SLO Wine Country is California’s coolest winegrowing region, located just 5 miles from the Pacific Ocean. The northwest to southeast orientation of Edna Valley creates a direct path for cool marine air from the Los Osos /Morro Bay area. This climate, combined with the calcareous and volcanic soils, results in wines with intensity, concentration and fresh, balanced acidity, perfect for Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and aromatic white wines.
Arroyo Grande AVA The Arroyo Grande Valley is a predominantly northeastsouthwest oriented coastal valley that is recognized as one of the most temperate viticultural areas in the world. These ideal conditions result in a long, mild growing season that produces wines with concentrated flavors, lively acidity and fine balance. Winegrowing here dates to the 1880s, when Zinfandel was planted in the warmer eastern part of the valley. Today, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and other varieties predominate the hillsides of the western end of the valley, closer to the ocean.

Hit the Trails You’re not like everybody. You know it. We know it. And the last thing you want to do is head down the same road as everyone else. The diversity of SLO Wine Country makes it easy to chart your own course, which obviously makes things a whole lot more interesting when our paths finally do cross.

Tasting by The Beach You’ve got salt in your hair, sand between your toes and two–maybe three–boards in the back seat. Your perfect wine pairing involves a bonfire, a little surf guitar and the occasional errant Frisbee. Avila Valley is one of the few places where you can taste great wines grown and made within earshot of the Pacific, all while you sit back and enjoy the sunset off the water. • Kelsey See Canyon Vineyards • Croma Vera Wines
