Day Trips & Beyond

Our Santa Barbara Favorites

Santa Barbara makes it easy to venture a little farther. Spend the day sipping and strolling through Los Olivos, wander Solvang’s storybook streets, or slow things down in Ojai. Each is an easy escape with its own character—and close enough to be back at The Vina by evening.

LOS OLIVOS

Wine country at an easygoing pace. Spend the afternoon wandering between tasting rooms, boutiques, galleries, and restaurants, all tucked into a charming little town surrounded by vineyards and rolling countryside.

SOLVANG

A little slice of Denmark in the Santa Ynez Valley, with windmills, bakeries, shops, and plenty to explore. The trolley, parks, and sweet treats make it an easy family favorite.

COLD SPRING TAVERN

A historic 1868 stagecoach stop tucked into the mountains, Cold Spring Tavern is known for its rustic charm, weekend tri-tip and live music.
