karma: 4 |  Santa Ynez Wineries
I just wanted to let people know about some really beautiful places in Santa Ynez Valley (20 miles north of Santa Barbara)! I love this place - this is an amazing option for So Cal or other peeps who want to have a Napa/Sonoma type wedding down here in SoCal! I have no idea what the prices are (though I imagine they aren't cheap) but the wine is delicious, it's convenient to both LA and Santa Barbara there's tons of hotels, the countryside is simply breathtaking... sigh... I love it. My favorite place is:
Sunstone Vineyards - $7500 location fee: Weddings
Gainey Vineyard - $5500 and below (depending on day of the week) http://www.gaineyvineyard.com/events/weddings.asp
My friend went and checked out (but the location fee is >$10K!!!) The Crossroads Estates at Firestone Vineyards - Firestone Vineyard | Visit Firestone | Private Special Events |

The Crossroads is the best! Rustic - Chic! But also try Fess Parker's Winery
For a romantic, intimate dinner I like the Ballard Store

Thanks for sharing Kash....we should all go one Saturday. Love wine country.
And I've heard of Fess Parker's, they give it away as a prize on Regis and Kelly. Looks great!

Thanks Kash. I looked into the area originally. We live really close so that would have been perfect .. I always wanted to get married at a vineyard under a large oak tree and have my reception in a wine cellar, but when I saw the prices (that doesn't include anything but location) I thought.. oh, the beach would be nice. lol :)

I know, I'm willing to bet that facility/set-up fees are more than both of our weddings combined!

I can't agree more with your choices Kashmira. I don't know if they still make it but Sunstone vinyards had a great merlot marinara sauce.

Sorry to bring this thread back but any So.Cal. girls want to do a group meeting and go to wine country, either SB, here, or Temecula....or anywhere else? I'm up for it on a Sat.
