Don’t miss the chance to head out to the Santa Ynez Valley this weekend to stop by the Taste of Solvang 17th Annual Food & Wine Festival. The weekend kicks off at 7pm this Friday evening (March 20) and will carry on through Sunday (March 22). Solvang is known for it’s Danish roots, tasty desserts, and winery tasting rooms. I am always looking for an excuse to drive the scenic road out to wine country and sample a variety of local treats. Stop by Lafond on your trip to get a sense of the difference that an appellation makes in our Santa Barbara County wines.
A Weekend Passport including logo tote bag & souvenir wine glass is $70 per person. Individual event tickets (ala carte) may be purchased as well: Dessert Reception $25; Walking Smorgaasbord $30; Wine Walk $35; from the Solvang Visitors Bureau.
For complete details and advance tickets, call 805-688-6144; visit www.SolvangUSA.com or stop by the Visitors Bureau at 1511-A Mission Drive (Highway 246) at the corner of Fifth Street in downtown Solvang.
