Santa Barbara County:
Royal Copenhagen Inn
Solvang, Ca
May 16-18, 2008
July 18-20, 2008
Solvang is a small Danish community located in the hills of Santa Barbara County's wine country.
The Royal Copenhagen Inn is located in the heart of Solvang, California. The Inn is designed to resemble a quaint Danish Village.
The Danish community embraces their heritage and architecture which is a vast contrast to the love of Santa Barbara's Spanish architecture.
The picturesque town is filled with Danish bakeries, shops, and outdoor cafés.
It is no surprise that Solvang was voted one of Sunset Magazine's 10 most beautiful small towns in the Western United States.
The cost is $295.00 double occupancy and $325 single occupancy. The price includes lodging, two classes, meals, and surprise goodies.
The meals provided include an afternoon welcome tea, followed by dinner on Friday. For breakfast on Saturday, a continental breakfast of Danish pastries, and fruit.
To honor the cuisine of the community, a buffet lunch of traditional Danish food will be served. On Saturday evening,
a Santa Maria Style BBQ will be held outside the crop room at the pool. On Sunday, a brunch will be served in the garden before your departure.
Throughout the weekend, beverages and snacks will be provided.
On Saturday afternoon, a licensed massage therapist will pamper you with a 10 minute complimentary shoulder and neck massage to work out those kinks.
Additional time with licensed massage therapist can be arranged throughout Saturday.
If you have a significant other or friend who needs a retreat but doesn't want to scrapbook, bring them along. It's no problem. For the price of a single occupancy rate and
an additional charge of $100.00 for the entire weekend, your guest(s) can join us for meals on Friday and lunch and dinner on Saturday.
For breakfast, complimentary coffee and Danish will be provided by Mortensen's Bakery across the street from the Inn.
Things to do in Solvang
If you are interested, complimentary wine tasting is available within walking distance. For guests with a love for vino, this is the place to visit.
The region is known for its outstanding chardonnay, pinot noir, and syrah wines.
There are more than 70 vineyards in Santa Barbara County, of which became the subject of the movie, "Sideways."
Are you lucky? For those who like to play the slots, bingo, or the tables, the impressive
Chumash Casino is down the road about four miles from the hotel. The Chumash provides a free shuttle to the casino from Solvang.

Asilomar is a mix of California: Sand dunes, beach, Monterey pines, cypress and oak forests, creating a tranquil and relaxing landscape.

Though it will be summer, the evenings are cool along the coast. All of the Asilomar meeting rooms have fireplaces which adds to the ambience of late night scrapbooking.
