Your Guide to Santa Ynez Valley
Discover the Santa Ynez Valley, and Los Olivos! Part of Santa Barbara’s larger wine country, it’s a small-town and rolling-hills haven of restaurants, wineries, craft beer, museums, shopping and nightlife. And don’t forget the great outdoors and all it has to offer.
Hello: Please tell me more about the Holiday Market for Crafts? I am an artist and would like to be on a list to participate next year. Thank you, Gail Sas
The Holiday Market was run by Figueroa Mountain Brewing Los Olivos!
