Solvang, CA: More Than the Danish Capital of America

Oh man! I'm obsessed with your channel and Solvang is my hometown actually! I've lived here for most of my life. I'm actually banned from the ostrich farm that you mentioned, funnily enough. It's always so interesting seeing tourist's perspectives of this place because Solvang is like a mini Disneyland or something to them, but it's suffocating and boring to me. I'm glad you went over the colonial history of Solvang, it's definitely something that a lot of locals ignore, which sucks because Chumash people are still very much still around and having their history be suppressed or just replaced with "Oh look, Danish pastries!" is obviously really sad and troubling. I'm glad you mentioned that. This was a good video! Keep up the awesome work.

Man, I thought they just had good fudge! Seriously though, I love your videos (not just because you’re my son and I think you are AMAZING), but I learn a little something with each one! Keep up the good work!!

One of the “must see” places to visit when you drive up the coast. I visited many times in my childhood; time to see it again!

One thing that wasn't mentioned was that the area has amazing wineries, like at least 50 of them as well as at least that many tasting rooms...I think Solvang has 12 tasting rooms as well as a very cool "speak-easy" brewhouse called the "Backroom." Solvang Brewery is also really good...

Great informational video! We would love to visit Solvang! We are a Danish-American couple who just started a Youtube channel! 😀

Need more videos ! Love your exploration. I think finding hiding gems and even exploring new places that I never new in Cali and all the states would be awesome! There’s so many travel videos of ppl going to popular destinations ... I want more videos like yours!! ThAnks for the amazing quality and content !!

Excellent and very informative video thank you brother!

Love Solvang

I really enjoy getting NSE notifications. Always a mini vacation from the daily grind! Thank you for making them.

I LOVE Solvang!!! I really want to go back again soon! 😍😍😍😍 My family bought a musical copper windmill once that played Windmills Of Your Mind by Noel Harrison. Loved that thing..!! I want to get another one someday!!! AWESOME VIDEO!!!

Imagine going to Denmark after being at Solvang thinking that’s how Denmark is.

So glad I found this channel. I’ve lived in California my whole life and didn’t know there were so many hidden gems in the state. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

I live in Solvang. Its pretty boring, not gonna lie, but your video was good. There’s actually a park here called “Sunny Fields Park”, which makes sense when you think about the danish meaning of Solvang. The best places to go in the Santa Ynez Valley in my opinion are Los Alamos, Nojoqui Falls, and Figueroa Mountain (the actual mountain, not the restaurant).

Excellent recap dude!

Will definitely need to visit Solvang again. Great video!

Great detail in this video!

Great video, we're visiting Solvang in August as part of our four week holiday/road trip across America.

Your exploring Tours Sounds like easter eggs... Wonderfull!

This is my sixth time that I have being visiting this wonderful town I love this place the food the stores y the vineyard places the tasting room of wine, gorgeous.I your channel too,

I'm a Florida boy but my Dad moved the rest of the family to Santa Maria when he got transferred to Vandenberg (he was a Radar Guidance Engineer and worked for GE)...I stayed in Florida but visited many times...Solvang was always our favorite side trip (at my request). It really is a magical place and a great place to spend a day.
