The Santa Ynez Valley holds a special place in our hearts. Whether it was our first weekend away together or the weekend we got engaged, we escape up north any chance we get. We are so excited to share some of our favorite places with you!
Solminer Wine Company
2890 Grand Avenue, Los Olivos, CA 93441, (805) 691-9195
While there is no shortage of tasting rooms to choose from in Los Olivos, this is the one we always make sure to visit. Be sure to try Liz's favorite, the Carbonic Syrah.
Brave & Maiden Estate
649 North Refugio Road, Santa Ynez, CA 93460
After the engagement, Max surprised Liz with a private tasting at the Brave and Maiden Estate. If you have the time, make a reservation to visit this gorgeous property.
S.Y. Kitchen
1110 Faraday Street, Santa Ynez, CA 93460, (805) 691-9794
S.Y. Kitchen is our go-to for amazing Italian food. Everything is delicious, but Max recommends the Wild Mushroom Pappardelle.
Bob's Well Bread Bakery
550 Bell Street, Los Alamos, CA 93440, (805) 344-3000
If you are looking for pastries, Bob's Well Bread is your place. The chocolate babka is our favorite!
Bell's

Max and Liz celebrated their 2nd anniversary at Bell's. It's a great place to go for lunch or dinner. Make sure you make a reservation early because they fill up quickly!
Industrial Eats

Don't be afraid to over order because everything at Industrial Eats is delicious. Their specials change all the time, but the meatballs are a must!
