About Santa Ynez

Santa Ynez is an unincorporated community in Santa Barbara County's Santa Ynez Valley. Its name preserves the older spelling of Santa Ines, and the surrounding valley is known for world-class wineries, horse properties, ranchland, and dry California light. Santa Ynez is small, but it carries a lot of regional identity: tasting rooms, western storefronts, nearby Chumash heritage, and access to Los Olivos, Solvang, and the back roads of Santa Barbara wine country.
