Known as the Danish capital of America, Solvang is full of quaint restaurants, bakeries and cafes built using old-world Danish methods and styles. Time your weekend right and dancers, singers and musicians fill the streets. Check out the Solvang web-site at solvangusa.org to view the local calendar of events. We managed to visit during “a taste of Solvang,” in March. Organized by the Solvang Conference and Visitors Bureau we visited many of the nooks and crannies of Solvang that we’ve missed on previous trips.

In the heart of Santa Barbara wine country lies the charming town of Solvang which offers both wine lovers and travelers a Danish cultural experience in a setting central to local vineyards.
