# Visit Solvang, CA: The Danish Capital of America

> Solvang is a sun-soaked slice of Danish culture in the Santa Ynez Valley, where California wine cellars mix with European bakeries and shops. 

Stroll down Copenhagen Drive tasting Aebleskiver and other Danish pastries, or sampling wine in the shade of windmills. Explore our wineries, boutique shops, or tour Solvang via four-wheeled surrey cycles or a historic wooden streetcar. It’s where you can drink, dine, and shop like a Dane without ever leaving the California sunshine.
