The only beachside wine festival in California, held at Chase Palm Park along the Santa Barbara oceanfront with unlimited tastings of hundreds of premium California wines. The backdrop of the Pacific, combined with the city's architecture and 300+ sunny days per year, creates an atmosphere no inland wine festival can match.
