When we visited Santa Maria Valley for our anniversary weekend, the Wine Stone Inn in Old Town Orcutt hosted our stay. Tucked into the northern part of Santa Barbara County, this was an unexpected modern oasis in a charming small town. The wine bar downstairs set the perfect tone for what awaited us as we explored all the beauty of this remote ruby.
Here is a little taste of what we experienced in our room at the Wine Stone Inn. The memories we made are ones we still savor. It’s the perfect place to create some snapshots in an undiscovered California wine country.
