Also, if you're going to be in the Paso Robles area of California in the latter part of October, don't miss the Havest Wine Tour, where you'll find 100 individual events at nearly 90 wineries throughout the weekend. 

Paso Robles Wine Country is a don't miss wine destination, located between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
