Welcome<br />
We invite you to explore San Luis Obispo County, California!<br />
Here in <strong>SLO</strong> <strong>CAL</strong>®, we have a unique approach to life, taking things<br />
at a much slower pace and allowing time to enjoy the incredible<br />
beauty and bounty of this place we get to call “home.”<br />
In the pages ahead, you’ll find the wide variety of activities, scenery<br />
and flavors that our destinations and partners offer every day. And<br />
we can’t wait for you to take part in it all. Chat with a local winemaker<br />
on the patio of our favorite vineyards. Grab farm-fresh lunch from a<br />
gourmet food truck. Pick your breakfast fruit from an orchard or one<br />
of our 13 farmers markets. Adventure out to the trails or tides for the<br />
perfect Insta Story.<br />
From our playful coastal communities to our approachable wine<br />
regions, bustling downtowns to serene ranchlands, there’s more here<br />
than you can possibly do in one trip. So, read on, start dreaming and<br />
let us show you a world you’ve been too busy to see.<br />
