Add Santa Maria Valley to your California travel bucket list as a fun-filled wine, adventure and foodie destination. There’s so much to do here and it’s just a 3 hour drive from Los Angeles. I share travel tips for exploring this region on KTLA including the Santa Maria Valley wine trolley for wine tastings, dune bugging with Steve’s ATV rentals, taking a free tour at the Luffa Farm, hiking Oso Flaco Lake trail and eating at restaurants like Trattoria Uliveto and The Hitching Post.
