Cayucos Loop

Cambria

Paved

This 47-mile looping route mixes wine and culture with winding roads and challenging inclines—a few of a cyclist’s favorite things. After a somewhat arduous trip out of Cambria on Santa Rosa Creek Road, you’ll get a dose of the coastline from Cayucos back to Cambria on Highway 1. Throughout your journey, you’ll stop at local art studios and wineries for the opportunity to get a true taste of the Central Coast.

Cayucos Cellars is truly the quintessential small family winery. Owned and operated solely by a family of five, they have no employees-just themselves and their dogs to help staff the tasting room. All of the wines produced by Cayucos Cellars are fermented using only the inherent abilities of wild yeast, and are aged for three to six years in neutral oak barrels before bottling. Cayucos Cellars is a must for those who love unique flavors and great conversation.
