We’re a team of passionate local ghost hunters dedicated to bringing the spooky history of California to life, with humor and heart.
We’re a team of Solvang superfans who love sharing the stories, wine, food and culture of our little Danish village.
At our core, we’re a walking tour company with a mission to share the best of Solvang, and make you fall in love with the place too!
We lead a wine-tasting tour and a food & wine experience.
Also, our spooky sister company is The Haunt Ghost Tours.
But we like to think we’re more than that…our social media and blog presence are a celebration of Solvang and the Santa Ynez Valley, where we love shining a light on fellow small businesses and historical tidbits that the world should know!

Okay, our founder isn’t the descendent of 1800’s Danish immigrants who sailed over, baking supplies in hand (though that would be cool).
He’s Wes Leslie, originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, who headed south to sunnier climes and discovered the charm and whimsy of Solvang.
Our guides are all locals, and many of them grew up right here in the Santa Ynez Valley! Once you hear them talk about this place, and you’ll see why they chose to stick around.
Are you a first time visitor looking for a shortcut to discovering what makes Solvang so special?
A local ready to dive deeper into our Danish-American history?
A bachelorette party ready to drink the best wines (and not worry about planning any of it)?
A corporate team who wants to dine and unwind after a long meeting?
Whoever you are…we’re glad you’re here. Come join us!
Hanging out with visitors, showing off the best of Solvang’s food and wine? It’s a tough gig.
But you might be up for the challenge!
Our goal is to share the creepy and mysterious places and stories we’ve discovered, and make sure you fall in love with our haunted city too.

We’re obsessed with this unlikely Danish village in California. It’s a town with a storied history that traces back longer than you’d think, and we love shining a light on it.
