"I grew up in Los Olivos in the Santa Ynez Valley. At that point it was just a little town with a flagpole and a grange hall. A popular annual event called Los Olivos Day in the Countrynow in its 45th yearbrought people out for pie contests (family lore says that my dad was the first pie contest winner in the late 1970's) and a parade. But aside from that, it was a very sleepy place."
"Fess Parker Wine Country Inn This 19-room boutique property is quintessential Los Olivos, originally operating as The Grand Hotel, then purchased in 1998 by actor Fess Parker (famous for playing Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone in the 1950s), whose family still runs it today. The rooms could be out of a Wine Country design magazine, with plush bedding and luxurious ranch-inspired touches."
Los Olivos began as a sleepy small town in the Santa Ynez Valley with a flagpole, a grange hall, and an annual Los Olivos Day featuring pie contests and a parade. Family lore claims a local resident’s father won the first pie contest in the late 1970s. The movie Sideways significantly boosted regional tourism and wine interest. The town now contains many tasting rooms, luxe boutiques, and walkable amenities that attract visitors and residents. Notable accommodations include the 19-room Fess Parker Wine Country Inn and the newly renovated historic Mattei’s Tavern managed by Auberge Resorts Collection.
