Templeton, California is located mid-way between Los Angeles and San Francisco along US Highway 101 (the California coast road), about 30 miles north of San Luis Obispo. Its Cowboy Christmas in early December takes place in Templeton Community Park. It features a country band, a crafts fair, a visit from Santa Claus and honest-to-goodness snow! The Kiwanis Club of Templeton holds a Charity Texas Holdem poker tournament as a fundraising event. Tourists also enjoy visiting the York Mountain Winery (in operation since 1882) and sampling its home-grown wines. For good food, great service and wine at incredibly low prices, stop in to McPhee\u2019s Grill. Penny\u2019s At The Manse offers meals with aromas like those that wafted out of grandma\u2019s kitchen. Less
