This is Wine Country at its best!!! Beautiful vistas in an old California feel of rolling hills covered with California Live Oaks and ranches everywhere. Rural and rustic charm.There is so much to see in the Santa Ynez Valley. You can visit the very touristy Solvang and eat good pastries. Or you can spend an eternity going from winery to winery and/or wine tasting room to wine tasting room. Our favorite Wineries (mostly because they have gorgeous grounds as well as good wine) are:RusackSunstoneBridlewoodLincourtBut this is only the beginning for us - as this was only our 2nd visit to the area and we have many many more wineries to explore - which we plan to do.The little towns of Santa Ynez and Los Olivos are very quaint and charming and there is plenty of great restaurant choices - our favorite is the Los Olivos Wine Merchant Cafe. Of course you can stay in Solvang or Buellton for easy access to everything there is to see, but it is an easy day trip from Santa Barbara as well.

There are over a hundred tasting rooms in the area, and pretty much all have a few good wines. But if you really want a good deal, and a great way to sample some of the smaller, boutique wineries, you should invest in one of the tasting passes offered from the Santa Ynez Wine Association. You get 14-15 tastings over a 3 month period, for just $40! Many of the wineries charge $12-$15 a tasting, so this is a true bargain. The passes are offered in the summer and winter, and the wines are reasonably priced. Loved the Brander Vineyard, Buttonwood Winery, Cimarone Wines, and Daniel Gehrs. Didn't get to taste them all, but we'll be back! Also, had great meals at Succulent Cafe in Solvang, Grappalo in Santa Ynez and Petros in Los Olivos.

The Santa Ynez valley is one of our favorite places to visit. We like to call it our "Happy Place." It's not too crowded, the views are beautiful, and it has an abundance of good food and wine! What's not to like? We will keep coming back for more.

I love all of the valley. The rolling hills and small quaint town. I visited here often and finally moved here this year and love everything about it.

I have been coming to the Santa Ynez Valley for the better part of forty years, and like a fine wine, it is getting better with age. It is best seen during the week, as it is crowded on weekends.

The trip through the Valley was amazing. The vistas, the mountains, put me in mind of the USA National Anthem, where it says 'purple majesty'. It was totally that and more.

Santa Ynez Valley is country luxury style with friendly welcoming residents. From stunning oak covered fields, to the beautiful mountains surrounding the valley to the near perfect climate, Santa Ynez Valley is a charming relaxing place to visit. Ultra charming towns of Santa Ynez, Los Olivos and Solvang, with countless amazing places to dine. Accommodations range from Motel 6 in Buellton to luxury hotels to dude ranches. The area is home to beautiful wineries and multimillion dollar estates and ranches. A dream location and yet only minutes to the beautiful beach at Gaviota with the city of Santa Barbara only 30 minutes away with yet another world of attractions there.You can go the beach, head to the spa, ride horses, walk the trails, to wine tasting, shop the charming streets and end up at the Chumash Casino for a world class concert in the evening and do all of this in a single day.Then north of Santa Ynez is the San Luis Obisbo area (about an hour) ... a great downtown scene there, don't miss the Madonna Inn and also the Hearst Castle in about another 30 minutes from there. (HC is about two hours from Santa Ynez.)

Even though there are now more than 200 wineries in the area, there is still lots of open space, interesting shopping nice places to stay and good restaurants. Each of the little towns has maintained it's individual vibe. We hate that Los Olivos has turned into "wine Disneyland" and has lost most of it's lovely little art galleries but we hear there may be a resurgence and we hope that's true.

Ushered OUT of Chumash Casino (Buffet) because waiters and waitresses lied and said I yelled at them...

This entire area hardens back to the golden age of California where grand ranches were own by the original owners, the Mexicans. Great wine, great small towns sprinkled all over. don't miss it.
