About This Tour in Santa Barbara

Eat your way through Solvang’s most delicious, authentic spots on this small-group food and wine walk. Led by a local in-the-know, you’ll skip the cheesy tourist traps and dive straight into the town’s real flavor, from award-winning sandwiches and artisan sushi to authentic Danish pastries and small-batch gelato. Along the way, you’ll sip local wines from the Santa Ynez Valley, meet some of the chefs and owners who keep the town’s food scene thriving, and hear quirky history, insider tips, and a few secrets you won’t find in any guidebook (we’re called Secret Solvang for a reason). Whether it’s your first visit or your annual trip, this is the tastiest and most fun way to experience Solvang like a local: relaxed vibes, genuine, and unforgettable.
