Review & FAQ:
Situated between the San Rafael Mountains and the Santa Ynez Mountains, the Santa Ynez Valley is a charming vacation destination that is filled with gorgeous scenery and wonderful weather all year round.
There are six different communities within the valley, each of which offers a different experience.
For example, Los Alamos has a more vintage western feel whole Solvang is more European. You can spend your time there walking through the towns, taking in the history and culture, and dining on delicious foods while trying out some of the many wines the valley is known for.
