DISCOVER your SUITE escape
“We loved our stay at The Ballard Inn. It’s the most charming inn we have stayed in. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. There are lovely common rooms to sit and chat with other guests. The complementary breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect. Close to downtown Los Olivos and Solvang but in the quiet town of Ballard. Overall a 10+ experience!”

Savor the valley
Spanish missionaries planted the first grapevines in the late 18th century, laying the foundation for the Santa Ynez Valley's flourishing wine industry. By the mid-20th century, it gained recognition as a premier wine-producing region. Today, the valley boasts a diverse mix of wineries, from small family-owned vineyards to large estates, offering a wide array of varietals. Guests of Ballard Inn can explore this rich winemaking tradition and the area's scenic beauty during their stay.
