Holiday Houses

Elegant homes and an afternoon tea with scrumptious savories and sweets await those who attend the annual Old Mission Santa Ines Holiday Home Tour!

• This year’s self-paced tour will feature a number of homes, ranging from a 17,000-square-foot French chateau decked out for the holidays to homes with spectacular furnishings and one-of-a-kind gardens.

• Once the home tour is complete, all attendees are invited to return to the Mission for a lavish afternoon tea reception, festively set for the holidays.

The tour begins in the Mission parking lot (1760 Mission Dr., Solvang) at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, December 2, and is for ages 10 and up. Purchase tickets in advance, $30. Call 688-4815 for more info.
