Los Olivos, California……

This charming historic town of 1,000 residents is located in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley.

Los Olivos is noted for its eclectic art galleries, wine tasting, unique shopping, restaurants and antiques.

If you like wine tasting this would be the place to go, it was one wine tasting place after another here.

This is one of the many cute and charming houses they had.

IMG_8447 IMG_8446 IMG_8445 IMG_8442 These were just cute!IMG_8441 IMG_8439 IMG_8437 IMG_8432 Los Olivos is where Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch is located.  I was a little disappointed because I thought you could at least see the house or rides from the fence, but you can’t see anything and there isn’t any sign that lets you know that is where you are.  The entrance was pretty with the flowers and big trees.IMG_8399

It looks like a charming place. It would be great just to walk along the street and check out all the shops and the wine of course.
