You don't have to go far to enter another world, the gorgeous and serene Santa Ynez Valley. Just two hours north of Los Angeles, experience the charm of Santa Barbara County's renowned wine country, at the AAA four diamond rated Ballard Inn for two nights, in the heart of the Valley and just minutes from Los Olivos, Santa Ynez and Solvang. The Gathering Table at the Inn delivers an award-winning wine country dining experience by combining attentive staff and gourmet cuisine from chef/owner Budi Kazali.

Then learn more about the full process of wine making and experience all the fun first-hand by visiting the nearby scenic Sandoval Ranch and Vineyard, where depending on what Nature allows during the time of your visit, you'll be treated to a variety of activities, reconnecting you back to the land and elevating your spirits - grape picking or vine pruning, old-world traditional grape stomping, wine tasting of the ranch's own boutique wine in the rustic and artistically decorated old barn, a tour of vineyard, cellar and wine laboratory and one night on the ranch in an upgraded Airstream trailer -- a one-of-a-kind experience!

Includes two nights at Ballard Inn (on Wednesday and Thursday) + dinner at The Gathering Table + one night (Friday) at Sandoval Ranch and Vineyard.

Restrictions: August through October of 2021 will provide the full harvest experience, but you can make the trip any time of the year, based on availability.
