Hotels near Santa Ynez Airport - SQA, Santa Ynez

A lovely and tranquil hotel beautifully situated for wine tasting and touring. We dined at Gathering Table in Solvang. The restaurant was formerly located in the Ballard and we missed having a restaurant and chef onsite.

Lovely area, a number of beautiful small villages with great wine tasting and excellent vineyards - fully recommend going on a guided vineyard tour, but just dropping into wine tasting shops works well if strapped for time!

Santa Ynez is a unique Valley, Beautiful with many site seeing ventures to fulfill your adventuresome side. Try your hand at gambling - from slots to video poker. Something for frugal spenders to "The Sky Is The Limits" budgets. Sweet tooth lovers cannot leave without devouring at least a Danish pastry and a late. For wine lovers - you require more than a week-end to taste the fruits-of-the-valleys. I'll drink to that! Feel like a trekking, try sightseeing a couple of notable missions - Santa Ynez has them.

I love the area - however, I wanted to purchase some Chumash Indian artifacts - baskets, pottery, jewelry, but didn't see or know where to go to buy them. The Chumash Cultural center/museum was not open, which was a disappointment! I will go back to visit it when it opens! I would go there again - the Cachuma Lake was beautiful! Thanks for a great time!
