Michelin Guide-featured French bistro right in Los Alamos.
One of the many great vineyards in the Santa Ynez Valley for a tasting.
Charming Danish village tucked into the Santa Ynez Valley wine country, full of windmills, half-timbered buildings, and bakeries.
An old Spanish mission right in Solvang, founded back in 1804. It's got gorgeous gardens, arched courtyards, and a lot of history.
Wood-fired pizza spot right in Los Alamos. A local favorite.
Great tri-tip and live blues at an 1800's stagecoach stop in the Santa Ynez Mountains.
Gorgeous coastal city about an hour south, known for its Spanish-style architecture, palm-lined beaches, and laid-back California charm. A great spot to extend the trip with some beach time or wandering the historic downtown.
