Things to do in Santa Maria Valley California

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.

Welcome to Your Bucket List Guide, an inspirational travel brand founded by me, Justin Walter. I am an on-camera travel host, expert, journalist, producer, writer and content creator with over 17+ years of experience in the travel and entertainment industries.

I fell in love with the idea of traveling the world through the TV show Survivor. It inspired me to live and work in Australia at the age of 21 where I took my first ever solo backpacking trip to the Australian Outback. There I vowed to build a life and career prioritizing connection and adventure through travel.
