Marissa & Matteo
Things To Do
Ostrichland USA
A great place to go during the day. Make sure to buy to feed these crazy guys--it's totally worth it.
Knapp's Castle
One of the first places I took Matteo in the valley. A great place to catch the sunset over the mountains.
S.Y. Kitchen
Cocktails and mezcal are two of our favorite things. This local spot has them both!
The Maverick Saloon
A valley staple. A classic saloon with live music and line dancing.
Carhartt Vineyard
A local favorite for good wine and atmosphere. We recommend splitting two tastings between four people.
Full Of Life Flatbread
A great place for farm to table pizza. After you've had your fill, take a stroll through the scenic western town of Los Alamos and enjoy some wine tasting or antiquing.
Refugio State Beach
We both grew up going here. It's just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the valley and a perfect beach to spend a day at.
Firestone Walker Brewing Company
A family favorite. The best beer around, plus great fish n' chips! We love going here before catching a movie at the independently-owned theater just down the street.
Hans Christian Andersen Park
A great place for a jog, hike, tennis, or family hang, just steps away from downtown Solvang.
Santa Barbara Museum Of Art
A world-class museum in one of California's most beautiful cities. Once you've got your dose, head down to The Funk Zone for drinks and a moonlight stroll on the beach.
Crawford Family Wines
Another one of our favorites for wine tasting. Make sure to try their Albariño, an amazing Spanish white wine.
