Find A Central Coast Hotel
Or Bed And Breakfast

Here you can find a central coast hotel in Monterey, Carmel, San Luis Obispo or Santa Maria for your wine country weekend getaway. If you're wine tasting in summer, the central coast has the most pleasant weather, with its cooling ocean breezes. The inland wine regions can get quite hot.

If you are visiting wineries in the Monterey area, including Carmel Valley, you may be considering Monterey for your lodging.

In between wine tasting, you could visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery row, Fisherman's Wharf or take a walking tour of the historic district. Or you can take the famed 17-mile drive or hike around beautiful Point Lobos.

In Monterey, Cannery Row has a few tasting rooms and the more rural Carmel Valley has wineries to visit as well.

Then there's Carmel, a true gem of the west coast. The village is filled with intimate little restaurants, art galleries and adorable cottages. The sea there has the most incredible hue. The hotels and inns are small and unobtrusive, blending in with the picturesque atmosphere. Carmel has many more bed and breakfasts than hotels.

If you are wine tasting in the Edna Valley, which runs southeast of San Luis Obispo, the best place to find accommodation is probably in San Luis Obispo itself. Other alternatives south along Highway 101 would be Pismo Beach, Shell Beach or Arroyo Grande.
