Solvang
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Solvang, California
Solvang, the Danish-founded village in California's Santa Ynez Valley made famous by the movie Sideways, has a bar scene almost entirely built around wine - BarFinder lists 49 venues, and wineries alone account for 34 of them, with wine bars adding another layer on top of a small handful of classic bars and pubs. Real local names like Rusack Vineyards and Larner Vineyard anchor the tasting-room scene, while Solvang Brewing Company offers a beer-focused alternative. It's less a bar-crawl town than a wine-country destination with a Danish-village backdrop.
