San Luis Obispo & South County Wine Tasting
borne Thompson and Fredericka Churchill Thompson, has been producing Alsatian-style “alterna- tive whites” in San Luis Obispo since 1983. In 1995, Clay and Fredericka built their pioneering, eco-friendly strawbale-constructed winery and opened their tasting room in the Edna Valley. Over the years they have expanded their picturesque garden area to accom- modate more guests and larger parties for tastings and seasonal events.
Upscale indoor renovations
to the winery’s welcoming tasting room, which is, to the delight of visitors, right in the barrel room, allow the popular producer to accommodate more visitors comfortably. For guests who are interested in holding their own private parties at the winery, they take reservations for small, special events such as birthday, anniver- sary, and graduation parties.
Their guest cottage is perfect for couples hitting the road for
a weekend, for parents visiting students at Cal Poly, or for anyone just looking for a relaxing “get- away.” The unit is available for va- cation rental through the VRBO/
Homeaway website, or by emailing elizabeth@claibornechurchill.com.
Centrally located in SLO Wine Country, Claiborne & Churchill’s vacation property is only a ten- minute drive from Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo, or Arroyo Grande, and a fifteen-minute drive to Cal Poly.
Visit the tasting room at 2649 Carpenter Canyon Rd., in San Luis Obispo’s Edna Valley; open every day from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (except major holidays), laibornechurchill.com, (805) 544-4066.
