So onto the main reason I wanted to stay n Santa Barbara - the vineyards. Made famous by the wonderful film Sideways, this area is now a pilgrimage to anyone how like me, loves wine. So off to Fess Parkers vineyard. Fess Parker was a very famous Hollywood actor in his time, playing Daniel Boone and Davey Crockett in the 50's. He gave all that in to make wine and I have to say after doing the tasting course it's very good!!
Then onto this gorgeous little - not even sure you could call it a town - Los Olivios which is very similar to Sonoma in size. It's full of antique shops and wine tasting rooms advertising the local produce. Here I went into the Epiphany tasting room which belongs to Fess Parkers son, Eli. By this time I'd just about had enough wine!! (cant believe I just said that!!)
So off to the very weird, Solvang. A Danish town in the middle of America. Only photos can really describe what this place is like - words cannot do it justice - wonderful little place and we had a top tuna sandwich as only the Americans - and in this case American/Danish know how!
