## Visit Santa Ynez Valley

Activities

---

---

#### Wine, history and outdoor recreation come together for a great vacation in the friendly communities in this southern California region.

Come to the six communities of the Santa Ynez Valley to enjoy a California vacation away from big city bustle and crowds. Sample wine, craft beer and delicious food on leisurely tours of the area. Explore the countryside by bicycle or play golf at a different course each day.

The Santa Ynez Valley, where *Sideways* was filmed, has over 120 wineries in the heart of Santa Barbara County’s wine country. Chat with winemakers at boutique vineyards as you sip chardonnay, pinot noir, syrah,sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio, cabernet sauvignon and viognier. Select your favorites and have a case or two shipped home.

Drive or bike along the Santa Barbara VintnersWine Trail. Watch horses galloping over the rolling hills in the pretty countryside. Travel a bit south to Kashtayit State Marine Conservation Area for views of the ocean.

You may think you’re in Northern Europe when you visit Solvang with its iconic windmills and Danish bakeries. Nearby Buellton has wineries and craft breweries. Select from several golf courses or hike, take a hot air balloon or glider ride or rent a trike for three-wheeled exercise.

In the tiny town of Ballard, see the Little Red Schoolhouse still providing excellent education. Several towns have maintained the appearance and character of their Old West heritage. Visit the Santa Ynez Valley Historical Society Museum in Santa Ynez to learn about the area’s history. September’s Los Alamos Valley Old Days celebration brings the past alive. Los Olivos has many buildings over 100 years old. Enjoy its wine-centered and other exciting events every weekend.

Throughout the valley, find quaint and welcoming accommodations and exceptional one-of-a-kind culinary experiences. Enjoy the best of California’s fresh produce prepared by skilled chefs, sign up for cooking classes or learn how to pair wine with food selections.

The Santa Ynez Valley is 30 miles (50 kilometers) northwest of [Santa Barbara](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Barbara.d602277.Destination-Travel-Guides). Drive here or use a bus connection to Solvang from Amtrak train stops in several California cities.

Really good hotel, the only thing is that the room was really cold. The cold air went through down the door and even with the heater was really cold. But other than that everything was great. It was a virtual check in and out and it was a smooth experience. Clean and good amount space for 2 persons. The parking is $10 a day and didn’t have a problem parking or with any noises at night. The staff was really nice and it was a great location you have everything around. Highly recommended!! I put a video on my tiktok yaami1517 with a room tour.

Room was clean. Close distance to the theme parks. We walked there crossing through downtown Disney. About a 20 minute walk to the park itself. Only downside was our room was next to their laundry facility so off balance or spinning washers woke us up daily at 0600.
