The Valley - Recommendations
The Santa Ynez Valley is a fantastic destination for folks who love all things wine, pastries, Danish architecture, and perfect weather.
Head to Los Olivos for a day of wine tasting, or into Solvang to try the famous aebleskivers. If you are feeling adventurous, check out the ostrich farm in Buellton. Or, maybe spend an afternoon at the beach.
