Taste of the Valley - Santa Ynez Valley
September 26th through 29th
Explore the incredible food and wine of California’s Santa Ynez Valley. Four days. Six towns. Signature events, tastings, demonstrations, activities, and more, at the annual Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley.
Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley explores specific communities each day, beginning with a day in Los Alamos, the region’s burgeoning haven for foodies, on Thursday, Sept. 28. The celebration ends on Oct. 1, with the best of Solvang. Along the way, attendees are invited to enjoy wine and beer tastings, special communal and chef-driven dinners, vineyard experiences, horseback riding, wine tumbler making, and much more.
This year’s late-September start for Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley also represents the earliest start for the event, during what many consider to be a favorite time of year in the region for the season’s mild temperatures and the buzz of harvest.
