Springtime at Flying Flags

Friday, April 12th, 2013

Flying Flags RV Resort’s prime location in Vine Country makes it an appealing place to stay while visiting area attractions.

The Santa Barbara County Vintners’ Festival April 19-22 at the Santa Ines Mission in the heart of Solvang, located just three miles from Flying Flags, is a prime example of reasons to visit here this spring.

The festival weekend attracts wine lovers from near and far for an opportunity to meet member vintners, taste their wines and enjoy great food and music over a long spring weekend.

The highlight of the weekend is the festival itself, where every one of 100+ member wineries gather to present their wines, often poured by the winemakers themselves. The festival also presents some of the best local food from restaurants, catering companies and gourmet food creators.

Tickets to the Vintners’ Festival, tickets for bus transportation to and from the Festival and Vintners’ Visas are now available.

Keep abreast of the festival by visiting http://www.sbcountywines.com/events/festival.html.

Other activities this month include the Vintage Rail Car Scenic Trip from Santa Barbara to San Luis Obispo on April 20, the 18th Annual Chachuma Trout Derby April 21-21 and the Solvang Datsun Roadster Classic April 27.

Festivals Near Flying Flags RV Resort

Thursday, April 4th, 2013

The annual Santa Barbara County Vintners’ Festival Weekend attracts wine lovers from near and far for an opportunity to meet member vintners, taste their wines and enjoy great food and music over a long spring weekend.

This event returns to the city of Solvang and the beautiful grounds of the mission April 19-22 in an annual rite of spring designed to heighten public awareness by showcasing the award winning wines, which are grown, produced and bottled locally.

And Flying Flags RV Resort & Campground is the ideal spot for visitors to stay while attending the festival.

Right around the corner is the arrival of the new luxury cottages and custom renovated Airstream travel trailers, which will be ready for rental by May 1 at Flying Flags RV Resort & Campground.

Cottages are all loft units with wrap-around decks. They will be ready, complete with new decks furnishings, by the end of April. Everyone who is on the waiting list will be contacted next week to confirm those reservations.

The six Airstreams will be themed and will feature modern luxuries and vintage appeal. We have hired a design team to completely renovate the vintage 1960s Airstreams in custom styles and themes. The iconic Airstreams, nicknamed “the Silver Bullets,” are the most recognized RV on the road today. Once completed, these Airstreams will offer the most unique camping experience in the market. Availability is expected starting in May.

Meanwhile, pool and splash zones have reopened after getting beautiful new patios and sidewalks. More great things are coming to Flying Flags RV Resort.

If you enjoyed the Wine & Chili Festival on St. Patrick’s Day at Flying Flags, then you’ll like the 2nd Annual Buellton Brew Fest on May 11, which will feature craft beer from various brewers along with music, food and fun. This inaugural event takes place at the River View Park in Buellton from noon to 4 p.m. Look for more on that event in future blogs.
