Starting at Oakland International Airport drive south on I-808 until you reach Hwy101 South at San Jose.
Get ready for amazing views that unleash each new valleys produce specialty; from Gilroy’s Garlic to Salinas’ Lettuce to Paso Robles Vineyards, each new rise I. The road leads to exciting new sites; until you ultimately get to Solvang. This charming little town just 3 miles east of Hwy101 is the Danish Capital of North America.
