Together with a friend, I headed to check out a new winery near San Luis Obispo. Laetitia Winery had their annual grape-stomping event that draws hundreds of people to do this unusual activity. While neither of us wanted to get dirty, we gladly considered this an excuse to taste wine.
We then took a short walk around the vineyard, tasted grapes and I successfully got a good amount of sunburn... Yes, I STILL forget to apply sunscreen after all these years...
We didn't stay too long there. After a purchase of two bottles of wine, we decided to check out the beach. Within 15 minutes from the winery, we were on Avila beach, a less-crowded (but still very crowded) than Pismo beach, sunny, yet quite pleasant spot along the shoreline. Neither of us is a beach bum, so after about 15-20 minutes, we were ready for lunch.
I found a tasty eatery (literally, the name of the restaurant is "TASTE") in San Luis Obispo where we had a few sliders/small plates. We both found the food quite good, but service lacking a bit, attributing it to an inattentive waitress.

We then decided to finalize this trip with Luis Wine Bar, a place that had a decent number of excellent reviews. It was a bit abandoned, but really nice. Probably a great place if you stay later, a luxury we could not afford today.
Both of us thought, "Wouldn't it be nice to just walk out of our apartment/house and be able to go to an establishment like this?" We then went back to Fresno...
