Santa Margarita

Both rustic and elegant, Santa Margarita offers rugged outdoor adventures as well as spectacular food and wine. Known as the gateway to northern SLO CAL and the scenic Carrizo Plain National Monument, this rural community is a stomping ground for acclaimed farm-to-table dining, wine tasting, and craft beer. Enjoy high-flying zip-line excursions, as you soar thousands of feet above rows of vineyards, explore Santa Margarita Lake by boat or kayak, or stop into a quiet cafe, and rub elbows with the friendly artisans who call this quiet village home. Warm spring and summer days are cooled by coastal evening breezes, making Santa Margarita a fantastic place to truly enjoy SLO CAL’s picturesque landscape.
