Taste where it all began, at the wineries that make up the core of the SLO coast in Edna Valley. You can taste among the most concentrated vineyard planting on the SLO Coast, with each winery offering a diversity of styles for every palette.
The estate vineyards of this trail are world-renowned for their Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, Viognier, Riesling, and Gewürztraminer, just to name a few. Allow two days for this trail, but total drive time between all wineries is just 15 minutes. At only 6 miles, this makes the perfect bike wine trail!
Autry Cellars
Autry Cellars is proud to be one of the smallest boutique wineries and distilleries on the Central Coast. Don’t take that to mean we don’t think ‘big.’ We do, just not in the sense of volume. Rather, we dedicate our efforts to creating big and luscious reds, larger-than-life whites (think ‘white wine for red wine drinkers’), delectable desert wines, and wondrous brandies. Our typical production is around 500-800 cases of lovingly handcrafted wine per year and we like it that way, so will you!
Biddle Ranch Vineyards
Not that long ago, friends with deep roots in California’s Central Coast planted the seeds to start making wine. What you see now is the labor of love that took us and our families on a journey into winemaking. For us, Biddle Ranch has always been about the simple indulgence of drinking a great wine in a beautiful place with the people we love. It’s this feeling that we strive to create in our tasting room every single day.
Claiborne & Churchill
Claiborne & Churchill is a small, family-owned and operated winery, founded in 1983 and located in the heart of the Edna Valley, just outside San Luis Obispo, California. Inspired by the wines of Alsace, we specialize in premium dry wines made from Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Gris grapes, as well as handcrafted Pinot Noirs and Syrahs from several vineyards here in the Edna Valley.
Piedra Creek Winery
Piedra Creek Winery was conceived atop a small knoll in the heart of the MacGregor Vineyard overlooking the beautiful Edna Valley of San Luis Obispo, California.
In 1984 Piedra Creek Winery became the smallest bonded winery in the Edna Valley, if not the state of California, originally producing only a couple hundred cases of estate sourced Chardonnay. Now one of the few wineries producing Lagrein, a grape from the Alsace region of France.
Tolosa
Cowboy dreams of owning a cattle ranch brought Vintner Robin Baggett to Edna Valley. The cold Pacific wind that sweeps down the coast into the transverse valley and a myriad of soils derived from an ancient seabed made him realize he was on a frontier of a different sort. Tolosa is the expression of his commitment to spare no effort to craft nuanced and balanced Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of distinctive character to rival any in the world.
