- Nichole WSpiro, OK95 contributionsCheck the website for what the they have for the kids. The night we went they had city works night for the kids to check out all the city trucks and tractors and how they work. Really nice to include kids in. Lots of food and locals selling things they have made. Just have to find parking and your in.Written May 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Carol Boceanside, United States5 contributionsStopped at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park just to take the edge off driving all day. A little meander down to the creek turned into a two hour hike up to Buzzard's Roost! Although we hadn't planned to" hike" (flipflops, no water, no sunscreen), the lure of the woodsy trail .. . . WOW!Written August 28, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- AWHCalifornia362 contributionsWe had a lovely stop on our way home from a stay at Avila Beach. The Inn at Avila Beach serves their tasty pie every night so we wanted to stop and get one to take home. The have lots of produce, charming gifts and of course pies and other baked goods to purchase. We also bought a head of lettuce so we could feed the assorted goats, llamas, cows and donkeys. There is a food stand that had fabulous trips-tip sandwiches.Written September 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ColumbusDBColumbus52 contributionsSuch a great experience. We are really out of shape so just took out time. Other people breezed by us. Just go at your own pace and enjoy the scenery!Written June 4, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- NJCricketerNJ478 contributionsWe had limited time but wanted to stop and see this Mission. We were late for the 11 am tour so waited for the 1.15 one (with Chuck) and he did an excellent job. One is always competing with the parking meter and have seen the meter maid give tickets so it is always wise to not default. Learned a bit about the mission and its activities.Written June 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Quine83Aberdeen, UK45 contributionsThis is such a memorable and authentic experience for tourists to America! Our family loved our trip to the drive-in. The snacks are really reasonably-priced too.Written July 28, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MidwestLiketoTravelMidwest407 contributionsIf you are a St. Louis Cardinals fan, you will be thrilled to see the college baseball home of legendary shortstop Ozzie Smith here at Cal Poly. Even though the field is different than when he played (in fact, very nicely updated), the homage they pay to the Wizard is great, including a small statue with plaque describing his career. We didn't spend as much time looking at the main campus because it was Move In Week and parents with students had taken over.Written September 28, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tash EDevonport, Australia52 contributionsExactly what you expect but this isn't an issue!
An alley way full of gum, you can smell it! Worth a stop and a photo!
SLO seemed like a cool place to spend a couple of days as a side note.Written July 29, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They could have easily used that as an excuse for poor service, but just the opposite. Everyone was very friendly, very helpful (it was out first visit here) about the tasting options (not only great wines but some awesome ciders). We had heard they had peacocks and as soon as we arrived we could hear a couple of them and later saw a few around the yard. AS i said our waitress was very helpful with the tasting options and even was prompt to refill. Really one of the best wineries we visited in SLO. It's very informal, outside setting. Nice and relaxing, just and enjoy the view and great wine (only $15 for a flight of 4, very reasonable for quality wines. They have a apple Chardonnay that's really good and unique. I highly recommend visiting, if your in the area.Written July 30, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- soulefultravelerSun City West, AZ1,890 contributionsIf you, or your guests, want the WOW factor, this is the place to go. Outstanding views in a beautiful, modern tasting room. Outdoor tastings also available. Great wines that you won't find at the grocery store. So why not a '5' rating? I had to talk to 3 different people to try to arrange a table of 8 (3 of whom didn't drink) tasting. Only 6 allowed! Couldn't do it. So we made two separate bookings. When we arrived - no problem. Wasn't busy. They put us all together and we had a good time. Maybe a little too "corporate?" Gallo owns them.
We made it worth their while and bought several bottles in addition to the tastings.Written August 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I would recommend Chamisal for friends, family and couples out for a relaxing afternoon enjoying some of the best wines in Edna ValleyWritten August 24, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LightPacker77720025 contributionsVery nice mission but we missed the tour (only one at 1:15pm daily). It's located in downtown SLO which makes it a great location, as you can easily walk to other sites nearby (Mission plaza is very cool and something usually going on). Worth a visit to one of the 21 missions along California's coast.Written July 30, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ScottSan Francisco, CA4,978 contributionsFantastic combination of trails. the Valencia Peak Trail takes you past some amazing stratigraphic a geology. Even with some blowing fog, the views were spectacular the whole way up. When I left Paso Robles at noon it was 104 degrees. The weather all along the Valencia Peak Trail was cool and breezy, no higher than 65 degrees.
The trip up is moderately steep, but nothing that the average hiker couldn't do. The trip down could be a bit slippery with the gravel, but if you take your time you'll be fine.
I did a combination of Valencia peak and bluffs Trail. All in all it was around seven miles and it was fantastic. Valencia peak portion takes you to high altitudes. The bluffs portion allows you to see those high altitudes from the amazing marine terraces
Read up on the geology of the area. Specifically, learn a little bit about marine terraces. This will make the hike even more exciting.Written September 5, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The tasting flight was great. You have all of their best reds of the season and some from Spain as well.Written April 12, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
