Santa Maria has historic wineries that not only influenced the wine world but also shaped the city into the popular place it has become today. Family may want to spend their day at the Santa Maria Valley Discovery Museum or visit the donkeys at Los Flores Ranch Park. Since the city is nicknamed the “BBQ Capital of California”, no trip there would be complete without feasting at one of the legendary dining establishments.
