We'd arranged for a sitter to stay at the hotel with the girls for a few hours on Monday so that we could tour on our own. When we got up that morning it was foggy, gray, and downright chilly. Once Katie (the same lovely woman who watched the dogs for us in SLO last year) arrived, we decided to head north inland in hopes that the fog would clear from the coast later in the morning. A number of years ago, after a few days spent with Larry's dad in San Mateo, we'd treated ourselves to a night in Cambria on our way home. We had thoroughly enjoyed the sights along Highway 46, the route we used to get from the 101 into town, so we decided it would be fun to take that drive again.
When we saw Eagle Castle Winery from the road it was so outrageous, SO ostentatious , we had to take a closer look! Right down to the moat surrounding the "castle" and the sweeping grand staircase, this place looked more like a Hollywood set than a winery! We didn't even bother to go into the tasting room, figuring the prices would be way out of our league. Still, it was "interesting", and the views of the vineyards, quite beautiful. It was really fun seeing grapes still on the vines in many places this trip.
