Local Seasons with Old World Seasoning
San Luis Obispo County wine country now holds the distinction of being the third largest wine region in California. We boast two distinct wine regions, each producing award-winningwines. One region is centered in Paso Robles in the northern part of the county and the otherin San Luis Obispo/Edna Valley to the south.
Since our wine country has received worldwide acclaim, it’s only natural that area cuisine is following suit.
Restaurant menus showcase the incredible variety of locally produced fruits, vegetables, olive oil,gourmet cheeses, meat, seafood and wine that has lured wonderful chefs and vintners from around the world. May chefs visit the Farmers Markets and swear by only the freshest of ingredients, allowing them to create beautifully composed dishes to complement the great local vintages.
There are many restaurants sprinkled throughout the county ranging from the quaint to the eclectic and whether set amid vineyards or overlooking the Pacific Ocean they offer great, world-class food from around the world, with a Central Coast twist.
