ABOUT THE REGION Scenic Santa Barbara County, located on the central coast of California, has long been revered for producing an incredible array of high-quality wines and last fall, was named “Wine Region of the Year” by Wine Enthusiast magazine. The valleys have a transverse orientation–meaning they run an unusual east-west rather than north-south–which allows the ocean air to flow deeply inland, creating a patchwork of micro-climates and terrains that are unique and ideal to produce premium wine. The range of climates from the cool coastal areas in the Santa Maria Valley and Sta. Rita Hills to the warmer inland Santa Ynez Valley, results in seven unique AVAs and over 75 different grape varieties, a diversity unparalleled in any other region in the world. The true key to this region’s ability to deliver world class wines will always be the people who work the soil and make the wine.

Fine Dining in the Santa Ynez Valley One of our favorite things about the Santa Ynez Valley is dressing up for fine dining. We call it SYV casual – and heading for a night out at one of our favorite restaurants. The toughest part is deciding which one. Over the years, the Santa Ynez Valley’s culinary scene has grown increasingly diverse and ever more delicious. Indeed, our fine dining experiences have particularly taken off. These days, the Santa Ynez Valley gets as much attention for its creative culinary scene as its world-class wines. For real. Just recently the fine folks at the Michelin Guide have added Mattei’s Tavern in Los Olivos to its prestigious list. Michelin Guide Restaurants There are six Santa Ynez Valley restaurants that have earned Michelin recognition of some kind, joining the Michelin-starred Bell’s Los Alamos, as well as Bar Le Côte, Coast Range, First & Oak, and Peasant’s Feast as local restaurants that have earned some level of Michelin recognition. Visit the Santa Ynez Valley provides listings of the best Santa Ynez wineries, dining, and things to do in Santa Ynez Valley.
