Things To Do
Holus Bolus & The Joy Fantastic
The Winery that Josh works at, the tasting room is nestled in Los Olivos - a cute little town with 45 wineries within a 3 block walk to each other!
Solvang
With a rich Nothern European culture and some of California’s finest wine country, it’s no wonder Orbitz named Solvang as one of the “Top 5 US Domestic Destinations with International Flair.” For more than a centurty, Solvang has thrived as an authentic outpost of Danish culture, traditions, architecture and cuisine. Today Solvang welcomes visitors with Scandinavian windmills, flower-lines streets, traditional festivals, unique shops, and wine tasting rooms, restaurants, and cafes featuring both Danish favorites and wine country classics.
The Funk Zone
Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone has become a favorite in recent years. Over the past few decades, this district, which spans the area between the ocean and Highway 101 and is adjacent to the Amtrak station, has enjoyed an upswell of boutique tasting rooms, breweries, cafes, galleries, and shops that cater to Santa Barbara’s contemporary side. Converted warehouses and buildings decorated with graffiti murals and contemporary art pieces set the tone for this hopping section of town.
Cold Spring Tavern
Cold Spring Tavern is a former stagecoach stop dating back to 1886. Located between Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez in the beautiful mountains on the San Marcos Pass off Highway 154. Here you can appreciate the true history of the old stagecoach days. They serve traditional American fare made with fresh local ingredients. Lunches feature their famous tri-tip sandwiches, Bar-B-Q ribs, beer battered onion rings, and Cold Spring chili. Weekends at the Cold Spring Tavern are special. On Saturday and Sunday they serve their famous tri-tip barbeque sandwiches at a walk-up Bar-B-Q station.
