The epitome of casual sophistication, the Santa Ynez Valley and its six charming towns, hundreds of acres of rolling vineyards, impressive horse ranches, and highly sought-after Santa Ynez Valley real estate represent a rare and wonderful unification of rural-agricultural heritage and world-class wine country ambience. All of this lies just a half-hour or so drive from Santa Barbara, over the spectacular Coastal Range.
The valley’s relatively small, eclectic population is centered in the hamlets of Ballard, Buellton, Los Alamos, Los Olivos, Santa Ynez and Solvang, as well as dispersed throughout the rural countryside. It includes an assortment of cowboys and ranchers, winemakers and viticulturists, artists and celebrities, as well as the vital service people and professionals responsible for making and keeping this beautiful area alive and well.
Thanks to the diversity of its population, as well as to the sophistication of its many visitors and part-time property owners, the valley offers a substantial roster of activities. In addition to winetasting and horseback riding, there is golf, biking, hiking and fishing. The area’s rich history is brought to life at museums and the 1804 Mission Santa Ines, and a busy cultural calendar is always brimming with choices.
