Santa Ynez Valley News

The Santa Ynez Valley is situated in Santa Barbara County, California, nestled between the Santa Ynez Mountains to the south and the San Rafael Mountains to the north. The Santa Ynez River runs through the valley from east to west. To the northwest, the valley is bordered by the Purisima Hills, which separate it from the Los Alamos Valley. Meanwhile, the Solomon Hills create a boundary between the Santa Ynez Valley and the Santa Maria Valley. To the west, the Santa Rita Hills act as a divider between this valley and the Santa Rita and Lompoc Valleys.
