As a part of wine country, we get why you'd want to spend a day or two wine tasting all around the Santa Ynez Valley. But if you're looking to fire up your taste buds a different way, book an "Olive Oil Sommelier" tasting at Global Gardens. Get a sampling of locally sourced olive oils in tantalizing flavors from this family-owned business. If you like what you taste (which we're sure you will), pick up your favorites at the provisions store.

You can relax, sip and enjoy a meal.
