If you love wine tasting, and we do,
Atascadero wine
country is an ideal base for wine tours and
trips. While the Napa wine country region was
traditionally considered the premier growing
region for wines, history shows that the
Spaniards originally brought plants and
established vineyards several hundred years ago.
Many of the California missions did, indeed,
make their own wines. And the wines were not
limited to the northern California region. In
reality, wine grapes grow amazingly well from
the north to south portions of the state. Since
there are no winter periods of freeze
conditions, most any area of the state (except
mountains and the extremely hot, dry desert) can
be turned into a growing field or vineyards.
What's
happened in recent years is an incredible growth
and establishment of new wineries on the Central
Coast California. Paso Robles and Atascadero
offers one such region in San Luis Obispo
County. The only thing missing from this area's
wine experience is an abundance of quality
hotels catering to the upscale wine crowd
seeking boutique or four diamond digs. We
checked out the
Carlton Hotel in Atascadero and loved the
elegant bar, dining area, cafe, and use of
Italian linens and quality comforters
and duvets, but this is a sleepy town that kind
of rolls up the sidewalks at night, compared to
L.A or San Francisco.
A fairly
new
Hampton Inn in Paso Robles offers the
comfort of this chain hotel brand. And do look
for new hotels to come along in years to come.
This region (once the main thoroughfare between
Northern and Southern California) is becoming a
well-trafficked, busy highway as city dwellers
have packed up and moved the country, that has
begun looking more and more like the city these
days. Hopefully as it grows, the beautiful farms
that
grow lavender, fruits, vegetables and make
wines will thrive and coincide with large
developers seeking to parcel off the land in
this region that for now, offers some great wine
tasting.
Located on
the California Central Coast, nearby cities and
towns include Paso Robles and Templeton. One of
the great wine sampling and food tasting events
