Solvang was founded in 1911 by a group of Danish educators who travelled west to escape the harsh winters in the midwest. The town lies at the heart of wine country, and parts of the Oscar-winning film Sideways, about a couple of wine-loving friends travelling around California, was filmed here.

Best time to visit? September, when the hordes of tourists have left, and the Danish Days Festival (18 September 2010), now in its 73th year, is in full swing.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27093 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25444 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25444 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24790 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24790
