Just a two-hour drive from Los Angeles and a scenic four-hour jaunt from San Francisco, the Santa Ynez Valley is already home to more than 100 world-class wineries and a creative and eclectic culinary scene that is steeped in the farm-to-table movement. There are also some really incredible unique wine tasting opportunities like horseback riding and combined with yoga class.
