Tuesday was another beautiful day and we took a drive to the cute Dutch town of Solvang.
After a yummy breakfast we headed a little father north to the Foxen canyon wine trail for a day of wine tasting. First stop the Firestone Vineyard. Started by the son of the Harvey Firestone the founder of Firestone Tires. Later his great grandson and Bachelor contestant Andrew Firestone ran the winery until it was sold to another local Santa Barbara family. 
They have a beautiful tasting room with gorgeous views.
After our tasting we got to take a tour starting in this very cool courtyard.
Their private tasting room, and keeping with our Reagan weekend, the guide told us President Reagan and many other celebrities have tasted here.
Next up was the Fess Parker Vineyard.
Our little taste of Disney for the weekend. A cool print of Fess Parker as Davy Crockett, from the 1955 Disneyland TV show.
Our last stop was the Tres Hermanas vineyard a small family owned spot where we visited with the owner who told us it was named for her three daughters.
Emily got to put in lots of driving time today driving through the beautiful canyon and taking us all the way back to Santa Barbara.
