Say Cheers to California Wine in San Luis Obispo

San Luis Obispo, CA, conveniently located halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles along the scenic coast of California and known to Oprah Winfrey Show fans as the “Happiest City in America,” will host two exciting fall events in celebration of harvest season and California Wine Month: Sunset’s Savor the Central Coast (September 29-October 2, 2011), and Harvest Celebration Weekend (November 4-5, 2011).

Aside from these main events (detailed below), individual wineries host many celebrations, tours, and dinners throughout harvest season, beginning in September with California Wine Month and lasting through November.
