Harmony California is located a few miles south of Cambria just off Highway 1. At one time the main road ran through the middle of town but a more modern road was built years ago bypassing Harmony. Thousands of cars pass each day heading to Hearst Castle and beyond but few take the time to stop and enjoy one of California's smallest towns. Harmony can trace its routes back to 1869 when a dairy was founded at the site. Harmony once was home to a school house, general store, stables, blacksmith, feed store and post office. Today only the post office and two business are still in town. The part time post office is on a list to be closed but Harmony Glass Works and Harmony pottery remain open. Up on the hill overlooking town Harmony Cellars Winery is open for wine tasting and offers gifts and food. Plan on spending about an hour at Harmony, more time if you do some wine tasting.

Harmony California has nearly died out several times with but still hangs on and its defiantly worth stopping and checking out. Harmony Cellars Winery helps bring in visitors and with Hearst Castle just 12 miles away there is a steady stream of traffic along the main highway. Harmony is one of those places that you always see and think I have got to stop there one day. Well do stop there and you might be surprised at what you find. Harmony Glassworks has some really unique pieces including a huge collection of glass wine stoppers. You can watch the artisan make the glass products and even take a class in glassblowing. Harmony Pottery also has many unique pieces some with the name Harmony inscribed on them. Harmony is an interesting little side trip while exploring the California Central Coast. Bring along your camera and take some pictures of a town where time stands still.

Harmony California is located between Cayucos and Cambria on Route 1, one mile south of Highway 46. Slow down and take a trip back in time and take the turnoff to Harmony . Harmony Cellars Winery is up on the hill overlooking the central coast town of Harmony, California.
