Things To DoThings To Do

The Wedding Website of Leigh Remy and Dylan Weiss
While often overshadowed by Napa, SYV wine country is home to numerous vineyards, as well as downtown tasting rooms. Forgot your boots? Head to Jedlicka’s in downtown Los Olivos for a great selection of western wear. Take in the stunning mountain views and autumn colors on horseback! Vino Vaqueros offers walking only rides through the vines, or head to Circle Bar B Ranch for a mountain ride, with beginner to advanced options. The film Sideways was filmed in nearby Buellton, where you check out the Sideways Inn and pop into the Sideways Lounge for a homemade sausage hoagie. Explore the fascinating history of Solvang’s Danish settlement at the Elverhoj Museum of History and Art. For our water lovers, Santa Barbara Sailing Club is about a 45 min drive and their charters are a great way to view our gorgeous coastline. SYV has a fantastic culinary scene, with a wide variety of bakeries, restaurants, bars, and tasting rooms. Check below for links to some of our favorite spots!
