The original owners, Daryl Nielsen and Vince Evans, recognized the growing interest in the restaurant and decided to build a hotel on the site, which had previously been used as a wildlife zoo.
Over the years, the hotel has expanded from its original 25 rooms to now offer almost 100 rooms. With the growth of the wine country in the area, Pea Soup Andersen’s Inn has evolved to offer wine tours in partnership with local wineries. This combination of a comfortable stay and access to the wine country has made Pea Soup Andersen’s Inn a staple destination for travelers visiting Solvang.
