Color spotter Lance Pifer visited Santa Ynez last week and was impressed by the beauty there.

“I was in Santa Ynez last week and it looks awesome,” he said. “The season there lasts pretty long.”

This is the first time this location has been reported on here at californiafallcolor.com, so congrats to Lance on a First Report designation.

From pumpkins to vineyards and all the fall fun in between, Santa Ynez should be added to your California fall color-spotting list!
