ForFriends Inn

Welcome to ForFriends Inn

Tucked in the heart of downtown Santa Ynez, ForFriends Inn is your perfect Wine Country getaway. Just five minutes from Los Olivos and Solvang, our boutique bed & breakfast is surrounded by rolling hills, horse farms, cattle ranches, and more than 200 world-class vineyards. With tasting rooms, restaurants, and live entertainment all within walking distance, you’ll never be far from the best of the Santa Ynez Valley.

Since 2005

Built in 2005, ForFriends Inn feels like a grand Craftsman farmhouse designed just for you. Every detail blends Wine Country charm, New West spirit, and a touch of elegance. Couples and friends alike come here to slow down, savor the good life, and reconnect.

We offer eight spacious rooms, each with thoughtful touches to make your stay memorable. Six are located in the main house, and two are in private cottages: the two-story Sunstone Tower and the cozy Kalyra Cottage. Every room features a California king bed, plush linens, premium amenities, and a large private bathroom. Most have porches or balconies where you can sip wine and soak up the view. Slip into a soft robe, settle into a sitting area, and let yourself unwind.

The Perfect Wine Country Day

Your morning begins with a delicious three-course breakfast, made with love. Think homemade granola, fresh-baked breads, and hearty egg dishes that will keep you smiling all day. After breakfast, you’re off to explore Santa Barbara Wine Country with our exclusive Friendship Pass. Enjoy more than $300 in complimentary tastings at 40+ local wineries, plus $50 in free appetizers at nearby restaurants.

When you return from your wine adventures, the fun continues. Join us for our festive happy hour, where guests gather over local wines, hors d’oeuvres, and lively conversation. Relax in the Wine Garden among blooming flowers, or cozy up in the front room with new friends.

After happy hour, take a short stroll to one of Santa Ynez’s acclaimed restaurants—no driving required. Later, enjoy the peaceful beauty of the evening. Lounge on the inn’s wide wraparound porch. Wander through the softly lit Wine Garden. Gaze at the stars from your private balcony. Or curl up by the stone fireplace with a glass of wine and a good book.

Arrive as Guests. Leave as Friends.

At ForFriends Inn, we believe the best experiences are shared. Whether you’re here for romance, friendship, or simple relaxation, we want you to feel truly at home. Every detail is designed to help you savor the beauty of the Santa Ynez Valley, while creating memories you’ll cherish long after you leave.

Because here at ForFriends Inn, our biggest wish is simple: that you arrive as guests, and leave as friends.
