Watch Santa Ynez Valley Wine Country

There's more to California's wine country than Napa and Sonoma. Travelscope moves south and "Sideways" to Santa Barbara's Santa Ynez Wine country -- the location of the Academy Award nominated movie "Sideways" -- for a full menu of romantic activities that include more than wine tasting. Most people know of the famous Northern California wine regions, but there are roughly eight wine regions in California and one that has recently been in the news is the Santa Ynez Valley Wine Region -- the setting for the academy award nominated film Sideways. The Santa Ynez Valley Wine Region is just 125 miles north of Los Angeles and 35 miles from Santa Barbara. Although in the movie Miles and Jack only visit five wineries there are more than 40 in the area. From horseback riding to the historic Cold Spring Tavern, then on to the colorful western towns of the valley, Joseph takes viewers to local museums and attractions such as the Santa Ynez Heritage Museum with its collection of antique stagecoaches. We also join Joseph as he samples Danish ableskivers in Solvang -- "a little bit of Denmark in America" -- and, of course, some excellent wine.

Santa Ynez Valley Wine Country is a 2007 action movie with a runtime of 26 minutes.
