We suggest flying into Los Angeles Airport (LAX), Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (SBA), or San Luis Obispo Airport (SBP) and renting a car to the Santa Ynez Valley.

The drive from LAX is about 2 hours and 30 minutes. We recommend you take U.S. Highway 101

The drive from SBA is about 40 minutes.

The drive from SBP is about 40 minutes.

Please note drive times may be extended on Friday afternoon due to rush hour (especially if flying into LAX)

Ubers are available in Santa Ynez Valley but wait times can vary so we recommend renting a car for convenience and for exploring the area.

The average temperatures in the Santa Ynez Valley vary but expect the days to be in the mid-70s with the temperature dropping at night, so be sure to pack summer wear for the afternoon and layers for the evenings as temperatures drop to 50s-60s
