Lompoc, (pronounced LOM-POKE), is located on scenic Pacific Coast Highway, 55 miles north of Santa Barbara; downtown Lompoc is just 8 miles from the Pacific Ocean. The Lompoc Valley is part of the Central California region. Rolling hills surround the Valley on the north, south and east. The Valley is open at its western end to the Pacific Ocean on the undeveloped Gaviota Coast. The Santa Ynez River runs east to west through the Valley while Burton Mesa, a chaparral forest with sandy soil, lies to the north. This location not only features some of the best scenery you will ever enjoy, but makes it ideal for wine growing, with the Lompoc Valley acting as the principal premium wine producing region of Santa Barbara County. The local appellation, called “Santa Rita Hills” includes thirteen wineries and more than 11 different wine labels featuring Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Lompoc Valley is also often referred to as the “Valley of Flowers” and the city is home to an annual flower festival that brings people from miles around. Lompoc is notable for its location adjacent to Vandenberg Air Force Base, the nation's premier polar launch site. The Air Force Base is home to five launch complexes and one commercial spaceport and has been the keystone of the continued strength of the post-War economy in Lompoc. Lompoc has just over 40,000 residents who love to call it home, for the great scenery, temperate year-end temperatures, great schools as part of the Lompoc Unified School District and so much more.
