San Luis Obispo County Wine Country

Map of San Luis Obispo County

The residents of San Luis Obispo County have a nickname for their region: SLO. It’s a clever abbreviation, sure, but it’s also a way of life, where the simple pleasures are enjoyed, food is savored, and relaxation is placed at a premium. After a couple of days, you, too, might find yourself SLOing down, just a little.
