Santa Barbara Wine Country
Southern California's answer to Napa and Sonoma is the Santa Ynez and Santa
Maria Valleys, aka
Sideways
wine country. Less than an hour's drive from Santa
Barbara, you can wander through fields of grapes, tipple soft Pinot Noir and
sample the sun-drenched good life. Start in dandified Los Olivos, where the
streets are packed with wine-tasting rooms and bistros. Then wind north along the
Foxen Wine Trail, a two-lane country road, where famous-name wineries and
boutique winemakers are neighbors.
