What's for dinner?

Considering we are such a small community, we are bursting at the seams with amazing restaurants! I've heard people say, "sure, it's a beautiful place to live, but what do you do there?" It's true, when you come visit for the day, it might seem that all the fun is to be had during the day; hiking, wine tasting, shopping, horse back riding... but what do you do when the sun goes down?

Well... we eat... really, really good food.
We are blessed beyond measure that the greatest chefs from all around the world want to live in The Santa Ynez Valley, so therefore, we end up with top notch eateries!

Ok, so you have great food... how do you find your favorites?

Well, you have to try them all! But that can get expensive... bring in,
Santa Ynez Valley Restaurant Week!
