The Santa Ynez region is the heart of Santa Barbara wine country, so wine tasting is a must while you're here! You'll find countless local wineries and tasting rooms in the area. If you're staying in Solvang, this charming town is known for its Danish-style architecture, quaint streets, and Danish bakeries offering authentic pastries. Solvang was named the "Best Small Town in the West" in 2025.

we recommend their $10 olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting! our favorite combo is blood orange olive oil with cranberry pear balsamic vinegar.
