–Honor Flight Central Coast is usually on the receiving end of donations, but this May, it’s turning the tables to help local wineries that have supported the organization that takes local military veterans on all-expense-paid trips to visit military memorials in Washington DC.
For the last several years, SLO County wineries have participated in “Vino for Vets,” a Memorial Weekend fundraiser that donates a portion of wine sales to Honor Flight. This year, Honor Flight leaders want to show their appreciation and support for partners hard hit by COVID-19 and other challenges and will forego the on-site fundraiser and instead conduct a Vino for Vets Wine Raffle. Honor Flight collected wine to be assembled into five “six-pack” collections and are raffling each for a $25 entry fee. Only 150 entries will be offered for a chance to win one of the six-packs.
Posturing aside, San Simeon CSD pays Hearst family for encroachment

After posturing for more than a month, San Simeon Community Services District called for a special meeting on April 22 to approve a more than $17,000 payment it promised to pay the Hearst Corporation for allegedly encroaching on conservation easement land.
San Simeon CSD directors voted unanimously last October to approve an agreement with the owners of the Hearst Ranch, which allows a portion of the district’s water treatment plant to remain temporarily on the ranch, and to pay Hearst for a survey and legal work. A few months earlier, the survey determined the district built 560 square feet of a reverse osmosis facility on the Hearst Ranch Conservation Easement.
San Luis Obispo and
the Central Coast epitomize California’s laid-back lifestyle. However, many San Diegans don’t consider these destinations due to the lack of direct travel options.
Thankfully, Alaska Airlines offers nonstop flights from San Diego to San Luis Obispo. A relaxing vacation on the Central Coast is closer than you think.
San Luis Obispo: what to see and do
Once you arrive at the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport, rent a car and drive ten minutes north to downtown San Luis Obispo. Check into the Hotel San Luis Obispo or Hotel Cerro and pamper yourself with a massage at one of their upscale spas. As the city’s slogan says, “life’s too beautiful to rush.”
