San Luis Obispo County

San Luis Obispo County runs from the Paso Robles oak savannah south to the Edna Valley marine shelf. Forty-plus miles of it, eleven AVAs, and California’s widest swing from warm mountain reds to cold-climate chardonnay. Tasting rooms line Peachy Canyon and Edna Valley roads, most with leashed patios, shade, and water bowls at the gate. Morro Bay and Pismo open dog beaches with room to run; Avila’s dog-friendly pier and Montaña de Oro’s bluff trail add coast to the list. Pair a Paso zinfandel with a bluff walk. The county pours the state’s most open-hearted wine country for a dog.
