Itineraries / Dog-Friendly Central Coast Day

Dog-Friendly Central Coast Day

Three dog-welcoming tasting rooms with outdoor space, paced for travel and a patio lunch your pup can join.

This plan keeps to 3 tastings with real drive times and a lunch break, because more than 3-4 in a day means rushing. Times are a suggested pace; call ahead, as many rooms take reservations.
