In the spirit of celebrating \u201cthe new\u201d, we have several announcements about exciting things happening at our winery in San Luis Obispo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Renovated Tasting Room<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We opened our straw bale winery here on the Central Coast back in 1996, and since then, we\u2019ve grown a lot! For the last few years, we have put some serious elbow grease into expanding our garden area to accommodate more guests, and now we have an updated tasting room to go with it! Our indoor renovation includes a new feature wall and rolling barn door, both made with reclaimed wood from our old dairy barn. We now also have large crystal tasting glasses, new lighting, and a beautiful, custom stone-topped bar. Be sure bring your friends \u2014 with an expanded serving area, it\u2019s the more the merrier. Added bonus: Ladies, you\u2019ll be more comfortable than ever. (The new bar has hooks where you can hang your bags and coats!)<\/p>\n<p>Now that our garden and tasting room are all ready for 2016, we\u2019d love to host your next private event.
