There are tons of wineries, vineyards and tasting rooms near the ranch. A few of our favorite wineries are Babcock, Melville, and Spear. All are within a 10-15 minute drive of the ranch. But truly there are dozens and dozens in the valley.

Enjoy a range of outdoor activities including hiking, horseback Riding, biking, swimming and fishing.

If you enjoy nature, the ranch is located on 20 acres of land that you can explore. We often see owls, deer, foxes, jack rabbits, hawks, bobcats and even Wild Turkey! You can also explore the La Purisma Mission which is minutes from the ranch. There are tons of walking trails and the Mission itself is beautiful to tour.

About 45 minutes from the ranch house is Lake Cachuma where there is excellent bass fishing and boat rentals to take out on the lake. Santa Barbara is an hour drive and makes for a fun day trip to enjoy the beach, or other city offerings.

Located about 20-30 east on the 246 is the little Danish town Solvang. It is an adorable town with tons of things to do for the kids including a tram pulled by horses, visiting the Hans Christen Andersen Museum, riding bikes, or getting Danish Pastries. There are excellent restaurants in Solvang as well such as Steer, Mad & Vin and Succulent Cafe. Nearby is also Buellton, Santa Ynez, and Los Olivos. All of these little towns have restaurants, tasting rooms, and shopping.

Located within 10 minutes from the house is the La Purisma Golf Course, one of the top ranked courses in California. There are several other courses just a short drive away.
