Located in the middle of California's Central Coast, Santa Maria has the perfect mix of natural splendor, rich farmland, and easy-going atmosphere. Renowned for award-winning wines and authentic Santa Maria-style barbecue, the region is a wine and food connoisseur's paradise. Visit the rolling vineyards of the Santa Maria Valley, sample region wines along the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail, or indulge in a smoky tri-tip grilled over red oak—a culinary experience that's as close to authentic as it is indulgent. Beyond the plate, Santa Maria has natural wonders and laid-back adventures. Hike the sand dunes of Guadalupe-Nipomo, take a stroll through surrounding Los Padres National Forest, or catch a live performance at the retro Pacific Conservatory Theatre. Whatever brings you to town, Santa Maria invites you to relax, seize the day, and get your taste of a lesser-traveled, but not overlooked, aspect of California's Golden State.
