Combine a passion for quality and a heart for the local area with a hard-working family at the core of it all and you’ll find the perfect beginning to your wine adventure– Kelsey Winery, a treasured cornerstone of the central coast wine region.

Just like the central coast itself, Kelsey Winery is uniquely special; its innovative focus on Avila Beach as an apple-growing region allowed the Winery to create fine Apple Wines and in turn, allowed them to boom in popularity. The vineyard’s production of the “Golden Delicious,” the “Red Delicious,” and the “Scrumpy Hard Cider” embodies the true character of the Avila Valley; a sense of community, good apples, and even better wine.

True to the caliber of the vineyard and the family who runs it, Kelsey tries to create a fun and welcoming environment on their property every weekend with live music every Sunday. Not to mention, the winery serves as the epitome of the perfect central coast atmosphere for such occasions, with a gorgeous outdoor seating area and a brambling creek that snakes around the property.

The next stop on your Avila Wine Tour is Silver Horse Winery—a vineyard deeply rooted in Avila Beach’s history. Located just a couple miles down the road from Kelsey, Silver Course Winery’s tasting room is actually a 107-year-old schoolhouse perched atop a hill in the Avila Valley. Kick back and enjoy the scenic views on the property’s terrace as you sip on one of their fabulous wines.

From here, head to Clesi Wines
. Focused on Italian varietals and Cabernet Sauvignon blends, Clesi was born from a passion for regional wines of Italy, grown and produced on California’s Central Coast. The name “Clesi” is a family name, originally from Sicily.
