The beautiful artwork on the labels are original pieces from Steve the owner and his daughter which are all themed around light.

Activity:
Whale Watching
in Morro Bay, CA – 30 minutes from Paso Robles, CA
This is the last month that the Humpback whales come through the Central Coast waters before they migrate to Mexico to mate or give birth in the warmer waters during the winter months. This breathtaking tour offers not only sights of these beautiful whales but often times you get to see dolphins, seals, falcons, herons, sea otters and other beautiful whales that tour our coast. This weekend there is only ONE tour available at 9 am on Sunday. Perfect morning to end your wine tasting weekend! The tour lasts 2.5 – 3.5 hours and reservations are HIGHLY suggested due to the fact they only take 22 people on the open catamaran. Dress in layers and warmly since the cool ocean air can get colder with waves and open sea. Make sure to bring your camera, a drink, a hat and some sunscreen as well even if it is cloudy and enjoy the view!
Adults – $40
Seniors -$35
Kids age 12 and Younger – $30
They also offer sub-sea tours (you can see under water) and kayak rentals if you can’t make it to the whale watching tour! Not far from Harmony Cellars and close to other great wineries such as Chateau Margene on the Embarcadero, Bella Vino wine bar and La Belle Winery all in Morro Bay.
