Fidencio Flores of @esfuerzowines is proudly carrying on a family tradition of effort, right here in the Santa Ynez Valley as one of our featured makers.

"Working with my grandfather, we've always just done organic," he says. "People think that this organic, biodynamic thing is like something new. This is the way that we've been farming for generations."

Learn more of Fidencio's story and hear from other local makers at visitsyv.com/makers.

Trade the big-city holiday rush for a little small-town magic. ✨🎄 Just over two hours from Los Angeles, Solvang has been named the #1 Christmas town in California by Newsweek, and the Santa Ynez Valley makes it easy to turn all that holiday cheer into a full weekend getaway. Think twinkling streets, cozy tasting rooms, festive shops, great food, and festive lighting displays and events.

Holiday weekends fill up fast, so now’s the time to book your stay and start planning your escape. by @visitsyv

Fall is one of the most beautiful times of year in the Santa Ynez Valley thanks to the changing colors of the vineyards. But aside from gazing at the autumn hillsides, we also like to have a lot of spooky fun around here! A few things to try this October:

1️⃣ Take the family to the @solvangfarmerpumpkinpatch for corn mazes, snacks, and pumpkin picking.
2️⃣ Sample boutique wines in a horror-themed tasting room at @finalgirlwines.
3️⃣ Spot scarecrows made by local businesses and organizations around the valley.
4️⃣ Take a haunted tour of Solvang with your own EMF reader through @thehauntghosttours.
5️⃣ Visit a farmers market or one of our many local farm stands for seasonal produce. by @visitsyv

A Buellton classic is still welcoming overnight guests. 🛎️ While the Pea Soup Andersen’s restaurant has closed, @peasoupandersensinn remains open and makes an easy, budget-friendly home base for a Santa Ynez Valley getaway. With a pool, outdoor patio games and plenty of room to unwind, it’s an especially great pick for families looking to stay close to all the fun in Buellton and beyond.

A little cocktail hour never hurt a Santa Ynez Valley itinerary. 🍸 @thehadsten’s on-site restaurant and bar makes it easy to wind down with a beautifully crafted drink after a day of exploring Solvang. Grab a seat in the stylish outdoor courtyard, order something that catches your eye, and toast to another day well spent.

@hotelynezsyv is a 22-room boutique retreat set on two peaceful acres between Solvang and Santa Ynez. Spend the afternoon by the heated pool, borrow a bike, play bocce, or settle in by the fire pits with a glass of local wine. by @visitsyv

Downtown Los Olivos packs an impressive amount into just a few walkable blocks, with dozens of tasting rooms alongside boutiques, galleries, cafés and restaurants housed in charming historic buildings. It’s one of those rare wine country towns where a full day of exploring is waiting right outside your door. by @visitsyv
