Solvang Trolley and Carriage Company
Since its first appearance in the 1960’s, Solvang Trolley has been a family-run business, passed down from family to family. Today, it is owned by the Orona family. Sal Sr. drives the horse and trolley, Sal. Jr. gives tours, Lorena works the stables and the ice cream parlor where tickets are sold, and Claudia (Clau) creates the costumes and divides her time between the trolley, the ice cream parlor, and community events while serving as one of Solvang’s Town Council members. Find out more about the Orona family here.
Throughout the years, the company has grown to offer a variety of horse-drawn carriage services appropriate for almost any occasion. We offer a quaint, charming way to enjoy the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley that is relaxing, and in many ways, romantic. Find out more about the rich history of the Solvang Trolley here.
