Are you looking forward to the new year? Planning activities, adventures, events, and things to do that will be fun and memorable?

Here’s just the thing to kick off 2017 in high spirits: a polar plunge on New Year’s Day.

We know we’re lucky to live on the Central Coast, and here’s another reason. There are not one, not two, but THREE polar bear plunges to choose from! And not plunges in some random half-frozen lake or stream, but in the Pacific freakin’ ocean!

Take your pick from polar plunges in Avila, Cayucos, and Pismo Beach. The Flavor Team will be there. Join us and let’s jump in to the new year with both feet!

  • Avila: Fifth annual Avila Beach Polar Bear Plunge, next to pier, noon. www.avilabeachpolarbearplunge.com
  • Cayucos: 37th annual Carlin Soule Memorial Polar Bear Dip, next to pier, noon. Festivities in town begin at 9:30 am. www.cayucoschamber.com
  • Pismo Beach: first annual Pismo Pier2Plunge 5K run/walk and kids’ fun walk. The run/walk starts at 9:45 at the pier, and ends with a polar plunge. Sign up at www.runsignup.com.

The polar plunge is just one of the great things to do on the Central Coast in 2017. What’s on your full-flavored list to experience in the coming year? We’d love to hear your ideas. Please share with us at  engage@gr8flavors.com. Join the Great Flavors community and let’s get rolling to make this our best year yet!

When Bristols Cider House opened in 1994 in Atascadero, it was the first cidery in the area. Since then, it's paved the way for the cider revolution on the Central Coast and beyond. 🍎 Here's how it all started, and we can't wait to taste what they'll pour at the SLO Hard Core Cider Tour. (Dang it. Now we're thirsty for a Mangelwurtzel.)⠀ ...⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ @bristolsciderhouse #hardcider #cider #atascadero #hardcorecidertour

Jean Marie Cidery was started by two good friends (we love how the name honors their Moms 😀) a few years ago, and they continue to innovate, expand, and explore in the hard cider world. How about this: combining their so-good-on-its-own hard cider with local Whalebird Kombucha ? The result is 😍 Lovechild -- have you tried it yet? Can't wait to taste what they're pouring at the SLO Hard Core Cider Tour on Saturday Oct. 26. ⠀ 🍎 For this and more cider stories, see link in Bio. ...⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ @jeanmariecidery @whalebirdkombucha #hardcider #cider #ciderevent #sanluisobispo #slo #hardcorecidertour

It’s Sausage Pizza Day! 🍕 If you haven't tried the pillowy light Napoletana pizzas at Flour House in downtown San Luis Obispo, we'll warn you -- they're swoon-worthy (the gluten-free one, too). We loved learning how Gessica and Alberto brought this authentic pizza (and imported oven) to SLO. See feature story link in Bio! ...⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #sausagepizzaday #napoletanapizza #pizza #sanluisobisop #slo #shareslo #downtownslo #pizzaofinstagram

Art is storytelling. Last night we enjoyed seeing the vision Becky from @clair_images had in her waterscape series, as well as listen to some of her stories behind the photos. The photos began to take on new meaning and depth to bring them to life. 🌊 If you have the chance check out Becky’s art at the @banthonyjewelers you to check downtown SLO when you are downtown while you can.
