Relevé Unlimited is excited to unveil our newest destination: California’s Central Coast—a region that captures the perfect blend of sophistication, natural beauty, and unforgettable experiences.
Conveniently situated midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, this vibrant area includes the celebrated wine country of Paso Robles, the vibrant heart of San Luis Obispo and the coastal gems of Pismo Beach and Morro Bay. Known as “SLO CAL” to locals, San Luis Obispo County is rapidly emerging as a premier destination for group travel and meetings, offering an inspiring blend of world-class wineries, stunning coastal venues, and charming small-town hospitality that creates the perfect backdrop for both productive business gatherings and memorable team-building experiences.
Paso may be known for its 200+ acclaimed wineries, but there’s so much more to experience beyond the vineyards. Step into the illuminating world of Sensorio, where art, technology, and nature converge to create an unforgettable experience in the heart of wine country. Set on 35 rolling acres, it features multiple immersive installations, including the newest addition Fiber Optic Symphonic Orchestra (FOSO). This installation invites guests to explore 32 light columns, each synchronized to an original orchestral score. As visitors move through the exhibit, vibrant waves of color and sound surround them, offering a fully immersive, symphonic journey unlike anything else in the region.
Acclaimed chef Charlie Palmer is elevating Paso Robles’ culinary scene with a bold reimagining of the food and beverage programs at two of the city’s most iconic hotels. At the historic Paso Robles Inn, the current Steakhouse will be transformed into The Pass—a signature dining destination set to debut in 2026. Meanwhile, the beloved Cattlemen’s Lounge, a local favorite since the 1940s, will reopen this summer as Cattlemen’s Bar, paying homage to the region’s ranching heritage with a refreshed concept and atmosphere.
Just steps away, the Piccolo, the Inn’s stylish sister property, will see its popular rooftop bar Tetto rebranded as Salina. Also opening in late summer, Salina will offer woodfired pizzas, craft cocktails, and sweeping views of downtown in a lush garden setting.
The Paso Robles hospitality landscape also features two other notable properties that complement the region’s growing reputation as a premier destination. Allegretto Vineyard Resort is a Tuscan-inspired luxury resort that opened in 2015, offering guests an immersive wine country experience just minutes from the area’s premier wineries.
The Ava Hotel, a 151-room Curio Collection property, is set to debut in summer 2025 with four stories of accommodations designed to reflect the natural beauty of the region through layered textures, earthy tones, and warm woods. The property will feature a rooftop pool and bar, three unique restaurants, and over 3,000 square feet of flexible event space including the Tablas Ballroom and Rooftop Terrace.
Just a short drive away, the coastal communities of SLO CAL (San Luis Obispo County) invite guests to paddleboard alongside sea otters, zip through the Oceano Dunes on an ATV, or relax with scenic vineyard tours. With 15 unique communities and year-round activities, the region offers something for every kind of program—whether your group seeks serenity, adventure, or both.
Vespera Resort on Pismo Beach, an Autograph Collection property, offers beachfront accommodations with the iconic Pismo Beach Pier just steps from the resort and direct access to the sandy coastline. The resort is within walking distance to the shops and restaurants of downtown Pismo Beach, making it an ideal base for exploring the Central Coast’s vibrant seaside community.
San Luis Obispo, affectionately known as SLO, offers visitors a charming Central Coast destination that combines a lively downtown, historic Spanish mission, hiking trails, museums and art galleries, great eateries, and wine and craft beer tasting rooms. Dubbed “the happiest place in America,” the city has something for every type of traveler, from outdoor enthusiasts to food lovers seeking farm-to-table experiences. The weekly Thursday night farmers’ market transforms downtown into a bustling celebration with more than 120 vendors offering fresh, locally-grown produce, farm-to-table dinners, handmade crafts, and live entertainment that perfectly captures the community’s vibrant spirit.
Morro Bay, with its iconic volcanic rock, serves as the gateway to Highway 1’s northbound coastal treasures. Up the Pacific Coast Highway, visitors can explore the magnificent Hearst Castle in San Simeon, while the quaint coastal town of Cambria offers artisan shops and dramatic clifftop views that complete a perfect Central Coast adventure.
