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.

Vintner Festival April 19-22
March 29th, 2013“Wine Aficionados Alert – the Annual Santa Barbara County Vintner’s Festival is coming to Solvang April 10-22. We are thrilled that the new venue is right in Solvang at the beautiful Santa Ines Mission. The mission is just 3 miles away and right on the bus route from Flying Flags RV Resort. That makes Flying Flags the best place to stay for this huge festival.
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.
In addition to the amazing variety of wines available for you to taste, 17 local restaurants, caterers and gourmet food companies will be offering samples of their delicious wares.
A favorite event at the festival is the Silent Auction – your chance to bid on large-format bottles and special releases of wine. Proceeds benefit the Allan Hancock Viticulture/Enology Scholarship Program.
Tracey and Sally from Massage Therapy in Old Town Orcutt will treat festival attendees to complimentary hand and arm massages.
And while you are enjoying some of the best of Santa Barbara County’s wines and food, two great bands, Lady Blue and the Roadhouse Daddies, will get your toes tapping.
