Visit Solvang USA Official account for Solvang, California the "Danish Capital of America". Solvang is a quaint Danish village located in the Santa Ynez Valley.

Solvang is a sun-soaked slice of Danish culture, where California wine cellars mix with European bakeries and shops. It’s where you can drink, dine and shop like a Dane without ever leaving the California sunshine. Explore over 120 wineries, boutique shops, or ride the Solvang Trolley for a full tour of the town.
