Los Olivos, California

Los Olivos

Located in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley, this charming little historic town is a rewarding and relaxing weekend getaway for wine tasting and Dining options.

A group of winemakers in Santa Barbara County have opened tasting rooms in the town of Los Olivos. Los Olivos is a town that is all of two blocks long with many of the historic buildings restored, while new buildings all match the decor and architecture of the historic Los Olivos.

The Fess Parker Wine Country Inn is located in Los Olivos. Surrounding Area hotels are located in Solvang, where you can also find several tasting rooms.
