Things To Do + Restaurants
The Santa Ynez Valley covers six distinct regions: Ballard, Buellton, Los Alamos, Los Olivos, Santa Ynez and Solvang, each with its own unique charm.
Dubbed "the new Napaa," Los Olivos is a quaint town with tasting rooms, farm-to-table restaurants, shopping boutiques and art galleries. Buellton is famous for its appearance in the movie Sideways, and Solvang is a quaint Danish village known for its traditional architecture, thatched roofs and windmills.
