She brought the tasting in two batches, which I liked as it felt like we could take our time and weren't rushed. The shop is quite large with plenty of seating inside and outside on the shared courtyard. I especially appreciated that we could order food from the neighboring vendors to enjoy with our wine. Definitely a must visit on your next trip to Solvang or Los Olivos.

This is what a wine tasting and cheese board experience should be. If anything, they over…read moredelivered, especially considering it was cheaper than the absolute nonsense we had the previous night at Cailloux. Friendly, knowledgeable staff, loads of cheese, crackers, jams, mustards, the works. And to top it off, she even refilled our favourite wine for free. Such a warm, generous experience from start to finish. Highly recommend and we'll definitely be back again and again.

This particular couple threatened the kids with calling the Police (as they took photos/video) of the minors. May I just add that the Boys are respectful and good, I know them all. What a nasty attitude from the owners of LO Dance Gallery. These Boys live in Los Olivos....DON'T TELL THEM TO GO AWAY.

The employee was super awesome explaining the history of the home. In the outside shed, it contained the solvang in the early days of 1920s or 1940s.

Walking through the rooms and seeing how people lived back then was incredibly interesting and well done. We also played the Hidden Gems Garden & Patio game, which made the visit even more fun we found all the gems and even got a prize! Such a nice interactive touch, especially if you're visiting with family. Admission is only $5 per person, parking is free, and the experience is totally worth it. We learned a lot and truly enjoyed our time here. Highly recommend if you love history, culture, and charming local museums. Great customer service.

We were lucky enough to catch the last two songs of ZB Savoy before they wrapped up for the night, and it was the perfect way to end the evening. The interior is awesome--guitars everywhere, great artwork, photography on the walls, and a vibe that immediately makes you want to hang out a little longer. It feels part music venue, part gallery, and part neighborhood hangout. The service was nothing but friendly from the moment we walked in. We grabbed a beer, which was cold and crisp, and noticed they also had a solid wine selection. If you're in Solvang and looking for something a little different from the typical tourist stops, I highly recommend checking this place out. Great atmosphere, friendly people, and live music to top it off. Can't wait to come back on our next trip.

Definitely recommend!

We were also told that this room had the most clues and tasks to do. We completed the room with 2 seconds to spare! LOVED, AMAZING, FUN!!!! Will definitely go back to try the harder rooms
