SANTA BARBARA REGION

From Carpinteria’s sunny beaches to the windswept coast west of Santa Maria, this is a region filled with many moods and discoveries. In Santa Barbara, take the Red Tile Walking Tour to see the evocative Spanish architecture that helped earn the city the title of “the American Riviera.” Santa Barbara is also a major arts destination thanks to such leading cultural institutions as the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Or sample wines near Lompoc (also home to world-famous flower fields), in the Santa Maria Wine Country, or in the Santa Ynez Valley, where you can explore such small towns as Santa Ynez, Buellton, and Solvang—the Danish capital of America.
