Food, Wine, Beer & Style in Historic Los Olivos, CA

  LOS OLIVOS, CA - 08/22/2017 (PRESS RELEASE JET)

The small and quaint town of Los Olivos – the jewel of Santa Ynez Valley smack dab in the middle of Santa Barbara wine country— is a step back in time. Dating back to its origin in 1887, this historic town is also a hub of award-winning wines, world-class cuisine and chic fashion and art.

Downtown Los Olivos, with its flagpole in the center of town, is a walkable 5-block area, full of wine tasting, art galleries, boutique shops and restaurants, many of which are housed in 100-year-old buildings. Near the flagpole is the new location of Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. where you can sip on locally crafted beers in the garden. Just up the street is the new tasting room of Ca’ Del Grevino winery, pouring Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from vineyards in the famed Santa Maria Valley AVA. Other places to taste are Epiphany Wines and The Bubble Shack, with their gorgeous outdoor lounge, plus specialty beers and small-lot wines at the newly opened Community Craft and Story of Soil.

When you need a bite to eat, try the classic Los Olivos Wine Merchant & Café or new eatery The Bear and Star at the family-run Fess Parker Wine Country Inn. (And yes, we mean actor Fess Parker of Davy Crockettand Daniel Boone fame.) After years at Big Sur’s acclaimed Post Ranch Inn, Chef John Cox is now cooking up farm-to-table, refined ranch cuisine 3 meals a day at the Inn. The menu revolves around heirloom produce and animals that are all grown and raised on the Parker family’s 714-acre cattle ranch nearby. Rooms are luxurious and newly updated, also a pool and spa.

Then check out vintage and new designer women's apparel (men’s rack coming soon!) at The Style Junction in their new location across from St. Mark’s-in-the-Valley church—where public restrooms and free wi-fi is offered. Don’t miss the whimsical J. Woeste in Los Olivos, a magical place full of wonderful must-have plants, garden art, and home accessories. You can pamper yourself with a massage or facial at a santé spa, then relax with a glass of wine or cocktail at Ca’ del Grevino or The Bear and Star—both stay open late for thirsty guests.

Just 2 hours north of Los Angeles by car, the picturesque, small town of Los Olivos in the middle of wine country is the perfect summer weekend or day-trip getaway. The town also hosts two family-friendly events per year: Day in the Country is October 21, 2017 and Olde Fashioned Christmas is December 2, 2017. Come see how the simple life is lived!
