Central Coast

This region begins at San Francisco Bay, encompasses Livermore to the east, and runs down the California Coast to Santa Barbara along highway 101 which the Franciscan monks called El Camino Real -"the royal road".
It hugs 403 kilometres of Pacific Ocean coastline and totals some 2.75 million hectares of which nearly 40.4 thousand are under vine producing approximately 15% of the states wine grapes.
