Solvang & The Santa Ynez Valley

Tucked within the rolling hills of Santa Barbara wine country is the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley. Nestled below the Santa Ynez mountain range are the towns of Solvang, Ballard, Santa Ynez, Los Olivos and Buellton—all within a short drive from The Alisal. Savor everything the area has to offer from wine, craft beer and spirits tasting to Danish pastries and farm-to-table cuisine; antique stores to boutique shops; art galleries to museums and so much more.

The Alisal is only 5 minutes from downtown Solvang, a quaint Danish-style village home to more than half a dozen bakeries, fine dining, sweet shops, wine and craft beer tasting, galleries, boutique shops and family activities.
