A Perfect Day in Santa Ynez Valley: 3 Ways to Enjoy

One Day Itineraries 

​As a local who’s lived in the Santa Ynez Valley for 16-years, I’ve come to know all the of the towns/cities that make up this place in an intimate way.  I’ve hiked every dusty trail, sought out the hidden culinary gems, combed the landscape, and tasted a lot of wine through the years.
