The Former Stagecoach Stop That's Now California's Most Romantic Wine Country Escape

There’s something magical about places that mix old-world charm with modern-day luxury — where you can sip wine by a fireplace that’s been there for over a century, then head back to a room with plush linens and sleek design. It’s the kind of escape that feels low-key fancy but still warm and welcoming.

Tucked away in the heart of Los Olivos, The Inn at Mattei’s Tavern is exactly that kind of place. Once a 19th-century stagecoach stop, this beautifully restored inn now blends rustic character with elegant touches — making it one of the most swoon-worthy stays in Santa Barbara wine country.
