Best of: A California Road Trip Through the Central Coast
Friday October 4, 2024
Is a California road trip on your bucket list? Have you been? Have you traveled through the Central Coast of California? This episode focuses on a small area of California just north of Santa Barbara. What a place!
In this episode, I share what we did, where we ate, and what we sipped. It was a glorious road trip curated by my daughter-in-law, Kylie. However, I had a BIG reason for creating this adventure! I discovered Elizabeth Poett through her television show called Ranch to Table. Once I learned more about her unique Gatherings at their 14,000-acre ranch, Rancho San Julian, I knew I had to go!
We created a California road trip to the Central Coast all around this special dinner at Rancho San Julian, which is about an hour north of Santa Barbara.
I share the details of this exceptional dinner, highlights of our meals along the way, and excellent wineries you need to visit! I love that this itinerary was specially curated for our taste, but once we went, I knew that you needed to hear all about it. Thank you, Kylie, for your incredible eye for detail and for creating such a fantastic itinerary. Here we go!
Highlights:
- Our exceptional experience at a delicious Ranch Table Event at Rancho San Julian with host Elizabeth Poett
- Fly into Santa Barbara Airport – It’s fantastic!
- Travel for a reason
- Plan in advance
- The benefits of reserving an Airbnb with a small group
- Leave room for spontaneity and serendipity in your travels
- The unique details of our winery tours and dining experiences in the area are incredible! See the links below!
