Luxury holidays in Los Olivos

Despite its nickname of ‘the next Napa’, charming Los Olivos is blink-and-you’ll-miss-it small, two-point-five square-miles to be exact. But, despite its diminutive size, it still packs in 27 wineries (meaning there’s one around every .01 miles). The Mediterranean microclimate ensures a steady flow of wine in the Santa Ynez Valley, especially for those with a craving for chardonnay or a preference for pinot noir. And, if you’re in need of some substance to soak up those sips, the blossoming restaurant scene is putting Los Olivos on California’s culinary map, too.
