Santa Barbara County, CA

If you take a trip and don’t post a resulting photo stream to Insta, did that vacation really happen?? Here, you’ll find six Santa Ynez Valley towns full of scenescapes – all ready and waiting for their close-up.

362 Bell St
Los Alamos, CA

Nowhere are the Los Alamos Western wiles more apparent than at the 1880 Union Hotel, which still houses a stagecoach office within the private event space, a popular wedding venue. The property has photographic details galore, and the weathered, wood-paneled building’s frontier-town façade always offers up plenty of lens personality.

2356 Alamo Pintado Ave
Los Olivos, CA

At Los Olivos garden art and home accessories shopping wonderland, J. Woeste, seat yourself in a bright red, larger-than-life Adirondack chair.

125 N Refugio Rd
Santa Ynez, CA

At one of the Santa Ynez Valley’s vineyard gems, Sunstone Vineyards & Winery, the organically-farmed vineyards loll out from under the estate’s Provençal French courtyards, stone barrel-aging caves, and picturesque picnic havens.

2449 Baseline Ave
Ballard, CA

The “burg” of Ballard is in and of itself, fantastically photo-ready. Here, you’ll find Bob’s Well Bread Bakery’s second location, adorned with a sunbathed patio and beautiful interior that pair perfectly with their renowned pastries.

Solvang

Solvang, California, United States

In the heart of downtown Solvang, the Danish-settled village displays numerous hints at its rich cultural past, many of which make for renowned modern photo opps. Solvang’s multiple windmills make the perfect backdrop.
