Questions
Question
Where should I fly into?
Answer
We recommend flying into Santa Barbara for the shortest drive time. Los Olivos is about a 40 minute drive from the Santa Barbara Airport. You can also fly into San Luis Opisbo (50 minute drive), Burbank (2 hour drive) or LAX (2.5 hour drive).
Question
Do I need a car?
Answer
If you are flying in, we recommend renting a car or booking a car service to and from the airport to Los Olivos. Los Olivos is very small/walkable and there are SO many things to do right in town. With that said, there are other nearby towns that you may want to check out like Solvang or Los Alamos that are each about 10/15 minutes away by car. Check out the "Things To Do" section for our activity/restaurant recommendations.
Question
What's the weather going to be like?
