Templeton countryside drive

Attractions

Templeton, California

Scenery like this was made for joyrides. Our three favorite roads? Templeton’s Vineyard Drive, which winds by working ranches and endless rows of vines you’ll want to pop out and explore. Santa Rita Road, flanked by gnarled oaks, wildflowers, and orange and avocado groves. At its highest point, you get 360° views of Paso wine country and the Pacific Ocean. And don't miss Old Creek Road, a beauty off State 46, about 10 miles west of U.S. 101, where the hills are dotted with cattle.
