Santa Ynez Valley

“There’s nothing more fulfilling than supporting the hands that grow our food, living close to the land, and celebrating the beauty of the Santa Ynez Valley—where community and healthy living thrive side by side.”
Brian Carrillo, Publisher

🌻  Wander, Taste, and Explore

The Santa Ynez Valley Farm Trail invites you to slow down, wander the scenic backroads, and experience the land the way it’s meant to be — through the people who farm it, the flavors they grow, and the traditions they keep alive.


Here in the rolling hills of Santa Barbara County, you’ll find a patchwork of family-owned farms, rustic orchards, cozy farm stands, world-renowned vineyards, and one-of-a-kind artisan markets.
Every stop along the trail offers a new chance to taste, explore, and connect — whether it’s feeding alpacas under a clear blue sky, sampling estate-grown olive oil pressed just steps from the trees, sipping a glass of Pinot Noir where the grapes were grown, or picking crisp apples straight from the branch.


The Santa Ynez Valley is more than just beautiful landscapes; it's a living story of hard work, heritage, and homegrown pride.
It’s where small-town charm meets wide-open adventure.


It’s where strangers become friends over a farmers market table, and where fresh tastes and fresh air go hand in hand.


Wander. Taste. Explore.


Whether you’re planning a day trip, a weekend getaway, or a full-fledged farm-to-table adventure, the Santa Ynez Valley Farm Trail is ready to lead you somewhere unforgettable.
