SB Wine Country's majestic mountain views!

Now if that marvelous picture above doesn't say enough to you about what Santa Barbara's Wine Country has to offer, then someone overestimated when they said a picture is worth a thousand words! So just incase here's a little excerpt about the magnificent wine country of Santa Barbara County and who better than the SB County Vintner's assn. to describe it;
"Breathtaking vistas overlook valleys and mountains studded with ancient oaks, brilliant wild flowers and magnificent vineyards. Taking a leisurely country drive allows you to fully appreciate the winemaking experience while viewing the ever changing seasons. Pruning in the winter, bud break in spring, canopy management in summer, culminates with the fall harvest. It is a wonderful discovery for any traveler! You'll find great restaurants, galleries, country inns and exceptional tasting rooms. Friendly and knowledgeable people are waiting to welcome, serve and delight you."
From Santa Barbara County Wines. CLICK HERE for their main website and all the information you could ever ask for detailing about each and every vineyard, winery, and tasting room in the area!

Quicksilver Ranch of Santa Ynez Valley
Here is just one of the many reasons to look around and see all the delightful little attractions while visiting Santa Barbara's Wine Country; Quicksilver Ranch. It makes a perfect compliment to the everlasting miles of rolling hill vineyards and wineries with majestic oaks like none seen before. And lets not forget to mention how amazingly adorable miniature baby horses can be while lounging around in the grass on their beautiful ranch.
Quicksilver Ranch is located in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley, just 30 miles north of Santa Barbara, between Solvang and Ballard, California. It's open to visitors every day from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. You may not know this but the Santa Ynez Valley has long been the horse breeder's Kentucky of the west and some of the finest thoroughbred horses (miniatures too) come from this area.
