While Santa Barbara County might be world-famous for its phenomenal wine country, each region offers unique attractions and experiences...
For decades, Buellton has been known for its epicurean arts, initially renowned as "The Home of the Original Split Pea Soup." After the Academy-Award-winning film "Sideways" filmed many scenes in the charming enclave, Buellton's tasting rooms and restaurants have become hotspots for wine lovers and foodies.
Santa Barbara lures visitors with a captivating blend of stunning coastal scenery, classic Spanish Revival architecture, world-famous food and wine, and myriad cultural attractions rivaling those of a big city, all earning this slice of paradise the title of "The American Riviera®". With a convenient airport and a pedestrian-friendly downtown and waterfront area, it's easy to catch the very best of Santa Barbara without a car.
Santa Maria is nestled among the foothills of the Santa Barbara County wine country. Here you'll find Santa Maria-style barbeque, championship golf courses, the highest beach dunes in the Western states, nationally recognized live theatre, and award-winning wineries. Recently listed as one of the top 20 "Greatest Places to Live the West" by American Cowboy magazine, Santa Maria is also known for its ranchero heritage and warm hospitality.
Affectionately referred to as California's "Little Denmark," the charming, pedestrian village of Solvang boasts an average of 340 days of sunshine annually. Amidst the Danish architecture and thatched roofs, bakeries, restaurants and tasting rooms tempt visitors with authentic Danish pastries and cuisine as well as world-renowned wines.
