Nice setting off the main road through Solvang. We visited during covid and had a nice time although they were not offering wine tasting - rather, they required that you either purchase a glass or bottle which you were welcome to consume outside on the property. The did however offer you a taste of any selection to ensure you're making the right choice. That was appreciated as I was unfamiliar with their wine variety. Their pricing per glass was fair and the selection offered was plentiful. The grounds are very serene complimented by ample seating of every type (picnic table both high and low, paired chairs with a view, shaded or in the sun, etc). They have a coral of cute and friendly goats as well to keep you entertained.

Old Mission Santa Ines

Reviewed By CleopatraBunny - Flagstaff, United States

This active Catholic Church has a well-curated collection of old mission tools, vestments, furnishings and other items from the 1800s mission life. Cemetery has over 1000 people buried here but most graves are not marked. What’s worthwhile is the self-guided audio tour. You push little buttons on the wall in seven areas to hear the history and backstory on each room and the church itself. Plenty of free parking and charming gift shop staff.

Rusack Vineyards

We are a boutique winery and vineyard, nestled among the oak-studded rolling hills of Ballard Canyon. Our mission is to create world-class, handcrafted wines that reflect our commitment to excellence and our love for this region. That commitment begins in our Estate Vineyard, which we re-planted in 2003 in order to capture the true character of Ballard Canyon, and which we meticulously farm in small lots. It extends to the winemaking process, during which we go to every possible length to achieve the delicate balance of "elegance & power" (Robert Parker, August 2010) for which our wines have become known around the world. Finally, it extends to our label, a Catalina tile, a family legacy symbol of our belief in the beauty of what arises from blending craft, earth, art and family.
