Los Alamos - Set near Santa Barbara in the Santa Ynez Valley, this budding micro-destination packs a surprising number of Michelin-quality restaurants, charming wine bars, and Old West history in one tiny seven block span. But pace yourself - there are plenty of food-focused pit stops to hit on the way back, too.

We’ve put together perfect travel itineraries for Santa Ynez, Solvang, Buellton, Los Olivos and Los Alamos
Tucked farther north just off the 101 freeway, Los Alamos is sometimes woefully neglected by food and wine seekers—don’t make the same mistake. A former stagecoach stop and home to the last standing Pacific Coast Railroad Station (now a sprawling antique mall and wine pub), Los Alamos offers plenty of Old West character with the added bonus of innovative eateries and great local wine. Start the day with Bob’s Well Bread for top-notch artisanal pastries, loaves and breakfast plates.
