California Trip

[Innkeeper]

Next week we're off on a whirlwind trip to the Central Coast. Will fly in and out of LAX. Arriving around noon the first day will first make the obligatory stop at 2933 Santa Monica Blvd. Then off to Solvang for the night. The next day will be spent in Paso Robles, before moving on to Monterey for three nights. Then back to the LA area for the fifth night, and home the next morning.

Have wine maps for both Paso Robles and Monterey. Plan on hitting Arciero, Bonny Doon, Peachy Canyon, and Tobin James in Paso Robles. We scratched the idea of a day trip up to Sonoma from Monterey, after thinking about driving back three hours after visiting a few wineries. So, will be on the ground two full days in Monterey. The only wineries there we've heard of with tasting rooms are Chalone, Jekel, Robert Talbott, and Ventana. Any recommendations on these or others? We plan to eat at the Sardine Factory one night. Any other suggestions? Appreciate any help.
