D'oh nuts: Downtown Donut Company in downtown SLO is your hands-on DIY doughnut haven, but that doesn't mean you can't pick up pre-made flavors, too. Try the Peanut Butter and Jelly Time, Elvis Presley, or New York style strawberry cheesecake for a sweet, sinful fix ... You don't have to be a tourist to live the tourist life! Sign up for 101 Wine Tours' Best of the Central Coastal Tour departing from Pismo Beach at noon this Nov. 9 and taste a flight of three local wines before heading up the coast. On the itinerary: coastal taffy, cookies from Brown Butter Cookie Company, a stroll through the cute town of Harmony, and a sight-seeing stop at the Elephant Seal rookery.
