Do you like to get off the beaten path, away from the touristas?  Cambria, outside of the Paso Robles appellation is half-way between San Francisco and Los Angeles.  4 1/2 hours from the Bay Area, it’s not a day trip.  Cambria is a quiet little village that is a great place to rent a house for a week and go winery-hopping.

Harmony Cellars sits on a ridge just outside of the village.  It is the main attraction in a town called Harmony, population 18.  Harmony has advertised itself as a tourist destination for many years, but honestly, it has seen better days.  The winery, however, is not touristy, quite the opposite.  The family has been there 150 years. (They are part of the population 18.)

Tulip and I loved the staff and I tasted all of their wines. I especially like the reds.  They even have a Port that they serve with a chocolate-covered blueberry.  I bought wine and a sack of the berries! Go visit, it’s a lot of fun.
