Don & Tina Cameron and Erin & I just got back from a recon mission for the WCR! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
Don and I drove an amazing 4 hour loop that has some great 914 roads. Your shoulders are going to ache when we're done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
Then we spent some time in wine country just west of Paso Robles and picked out a varitey of different wineries to try. That also happens to be on some great 914 roads.

We need to get an approximate number for the wine tour* so we can call ahead and let them know that we are coming. The tour will include 3-4 wineries and we have the option of a lunch at one of them. There are tasting fees at each winery (waived if you make a purchase) and the lunch would be in the $20 range. Tell me here if there will be 2 people in your car. Please let us know ASAP if you are interested.

For the long tour we are stopping for lunch at a little diner and will give them a heads up as well.

This is for Friday. Saturday will have a more relaxing drive up the coast, with a couple of photo stops on the way back down.


The Long Tour is the drive up to Fort Hunter Liggett. The time on the map is incorrect...
We will have the drivers meeting at 830 and leave at 9am. You will be back with plenty of time to make the Castle Tour @ 7pm.

The winery tour drivers meeting will be a 9:14 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) and will be leaving the hotel around 10am. There will be a stop on the way for a group photo on hwy46. And we will arrive at the first winery around 11am (Hey, it's afternoon somewhere, right)
*Notice this says "winery tour", know your limits, spit your wine if you are driving. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

We did it all! Both are great choices. Paso Robles has some of the best California wineries, as well as some amazing 914 roads. Which ever tour you choose, you are in for a great time. Please give us a heads up, so we can make arrangements, to make this a truly amazing 914 WCR experience. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Thanks, don-6

So there is another day specifically for driving correct? If so I vote Wine. If this stops us from being able to drive the 4 hr road... Well that makes things REALLY hard.

Also what is the length of the road? Some of the "thirsty" cars might have an issue with 4 straight hard hours...

I'm going to make a wild guess and say it's 140 miles.

Rick, we are planning to get back to the Hotel, with plenty of time to rest up, and grab dinner before your Hearst Castle tour.
