Santa-Ynez is a small western-style village located north of Los Angeles in the Santa Barbara wine country. The town's buildings depict the old west era, and the streets are filled with shops and restaurants and beautiful gardens, and a country inn has been beautifully restored to its original 19th century elegance. Places to see in town include the Santa Ynez Historical Museum and the Parks-Janeway Carriage House, which features dozens of old time horse-drawn carriages, and the historical Mission Santa Inez. This is a great region for sightseeing - with everything from wine tasting tours to antiques shopping. A must see is the nearby Dutch town of Solvang. Founded in 1911 by Danish educators, the town is filled with windmills, old world architecture with steep gabled roofs, and shops that feature items from around the world. The restaurants in town feature food from Denmark and bakeries loaded with Danish pastries and cookies. Recreational activities in the Santa Ynez area include golf, hiking, bicycling, glider rides, and gaming at the nearby Indian casino. Beach activities are just a short drive away in Santa Barbara. Whether as a day trip while visiting the Los Angeles area, or all on its own, Santa Ynez's quaint village charm makes a great vacation destination.
