how to spend a weekend in the

santa ynez valley

visit wine tasting rooms in the cute and quaint town. we love carhartt and saroos and sons!

walk around downtown los olivos

2-3 tastings per day is ideal, just plan for transportation! my favorites include Fess Parker, Sunstone, and Andrew Murray.

visit the vineyards around the valley

this danish village has a ton of shops, cafés and restaurants. be sure to get ebelskevers at Solvang Restaurant and coffee at Good Seed!

explore solvang

the restaurant is called Mad & Vin and it's delicious! We also love Industrial Eats in Buellton!

grab dinner at the landsby hotel

i somehow don't have any photos from this part of our trip, but it was hilarious! you can pay a small fee to pay the ostriches and we laughed the entire time.

visit ostrichland  on your way out

visit dancingfordonuts.com for more travel guides & adventures!

i recommend visiting the Santa Ynez Valley in the spring after the rainy season, or late summer/early fall when it's not too hot!
