Things To Do
Industrial Eats
Super Casual spot with Super Quality food. We both love this spot and so will you. Try ANYTHING on their menu, you will not be disappointed 😋
Babcock Winery & Vineyards
Eclectic wines in an even more eclectic barn! Cute little Tasting bar with many places to socialize and enjoy the wine 🍷.. And be sure to bring your shopping list for that perfect little memento with a sassy slogan - Babcock is packed with great finds!
Firestone Walker Brewing Company
Ready for a change from all that vino?!? Well Firestone Walker Brew Co. is your spot! From the crisp 805 we all know and love to the bitter bitter 'Mind Haze' double IPA, The Barrelworks has a beer for you! Manny's fave is the Luponic Distortion!
Brick Barn Wine Estate
Brick Barn captured our eye and our hearts after just one visit with their beautiful tasting room that once housed a 36-stall brick barn created by an Italian stonemason many years ago. Relax under a stately old oak tree adorned with charming chandeliers, while sipping their crisp modern wines.
Buttonwood Farm Winery & Vineyard
One of our absolute favorite little wineries, Buttonwood is a quaint little spot with loads of charm!! The grounds are beautiful, and if you're lucky, the fresh peaches and apricot trees surrounding the cute little back grass lawn will be in full bloom! (just don't let 'em catch you sneak one off the tree!!!)
Fess Parker Winery & Vineyard
Amazing grounds with LOTS of beautiful outside space for enjoying a great glass of vino 🍷. Fess Parker never fails to deliver the Santa Barbara County beauty!
Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co.
He said “I love you,” for the first time. Must have been the great food and beer options 🥰
Demetria Winery & Vineyard
He asked and I said “yes!” 💍 Advanced reservations required for visiting grounds. 🍷
Mortensen's Danish Bakery
Best danish in all of Solvang, and still run by the Mortensen family. Stop by for a sweet treat! On our first trip to the valley, Judy & Manny popped into Mortensen's Bakery and bought one of everything.. Years later, on a wedding planning trip.. we stopped by for a quick snack - and got the absolute best advice on wedding essentials from one of the Mortensen family!
Hiking Trails
Get outside and experience rolling hills, wild flowers that perfume the air, and breathtaking hiking trails that can give you a glimpse into the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley. Grass Mountain is a great choice for those looking for a challenge with a 4.5 mile trail. For those who want to take it a little easier, Refugio Ridge gives you amazing ocean views. You can take this slow and enjoy the views, or speed it up for a warm up before a day of wine tasting. And for those who want to experience the beauty of Nojoqui Falls, walk just a short distance on the trail to gaze at the falls - you won't be disappointed!
Solvang Restaurant
BREAKFAST - LUNCH - ANYTIME! SOLVANG RESTAURANT Solvang is dotted with plenty of great little breakfast spots... but there's just ONE with a walk up window for traditional Danish Æbleskivers! Thats right!! Part donut, part pancake, these little powdered-sugar and jam covered beauties will make your morning! ...or your afternoon... ... or any time of day! Don't leave Solvang without trying one... or four!
