Spend some time in Solvang, the charming Danish village tucked away in the Santa Ynez Valley, where it feels and smells like Christmas all year long. With twinkling lights illuminating the night and freshly baked goods served each morning, Solvang offers a magical atmosphere year-round. Start your day with a leisurely stroll down Mission Drive, the heart of Solvang. Explore the charming avenues, quaint walkways, and hidden shopping alcoves. You’ll discover a variety of Danish-inspired souvenirs to commemorate your visit. As you shop, be sure to stop by local bakeries and confectioneries to indulge in traditional Danish treats like aebleskiver, those delightful, fluffy donut-hole pastries. For the best aebleskivers, head to Solvang Restaurant's walk-up window, where Arne’s famous version is a must-try. Along the way, you'll find cozy mom-and-pop eateries and cafes, as well as tasting rooms offering Rhone, Burgundian, and Bordeaux-style wines.
