Dave Pollock of ForFriends Inn and Village

“ForFriends Inn & Village is situated in downtown Santa Ynez, California and just five minutes from Los Olivos & Solvang. This immaculately detailed eight-room boutique bed & breakfast lies in the heart of the Santa Barbara County Wine Country and is surrounded by rolling hills, cattle ranches, horse farms and over 200 gorgeous vineyards and wineries. ForFriends Inn is within a short walk to tasting rooms and the area’s best restaurants and entertainment; and a short, traffic-free drive to all of the wonderful wineries and other attractions throughout the Santa Ynez Valley and the Santa Rita Hills.”

“Completed in 2005, ForFriends Inn was built in the fashion of a large Craftsman farmhouse. Great care has been given to combine Wine Country and the New West with a touch of elegance to create a perfect wine country getaway for couples and friends seeking a brief respite from their busy lives.”

“Eight large, elegant rooms in ForFriends Inn include six in the main house and two private cottages — the two-story Sunstone Tower and the cozy Kalyra Cottage. All of the rooms offer a California king-sized bed, large private bathrooms, sitting areas, premium linens, upgraded amenities, luxurious bathrobes, balconies and porches. All are elegantly appointed to provide you with an array of personal touches and all of the amenities guests deserve.”

“Newly added is the adjacent Village featuring six private, free-standing bungalows. Each of the six, spacious units is a 650 square foot, “tiny inn” California Craftsman Bungalow. A custom studio layout features Amish-made bedroom furniture, well-appointed kitchenette with table and chairs, custom cabinets with granite countertops and premium finishes, whisper quiet appliances, private porches with rocking chairs, and on-site parking. The Bungalows offer all the premium amenities found at the Inn plus extras with considerably more space and privacy.”

“All stays include a chef-driven, homemade 3-course breakfast (with artisan breads fresh from the nearby The Baker’s Table) at the Inn and a fun and social wine and hors d’oeuvres daily Happy Hour featuring local wineries.”

Innkeeper Dave Pollock joins us to welcome the audience to ForFriends Inn & Village.

Posted on by

Jet had a pretty incredible Thanksgiving Holiday as his daughter, Amaya Chloe Tila, was born on Nov. 17th. Given the pro he is Chef Jet still prepared and cooked his own turkey (brined,) and procured the outstanding sides and pies from Cook’s Country on Beverly Blvd. in Los Angeles. (The pastry chef is a co-owner.) He’s courageous as his guest list included both his Mother and Mother-in-Law.

Producer Andy was in Wine Country Temecula with his Family. Thanksgiving was the abundant, multi-ethnic buffet at the Pechanga Resort Casino. Their well-received turkey preparation was brined and then deep-fried. The standout elements this year were the Asian and Mexican specialties. Producer Andy stayed at The Inn at Europa Village (a superb, chef-driven Bed & Breakfast) which is discussed in Segment 2 of the show.
