Santa Barbara Vintners Festival
One of California's longest-running wine festivals, now in its 41st year, gathering 80+ Santa Barbara County wineries for a single afternoon tasting at an estate vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley. The breadth of the county's winemaking — from cool-climate Pinot Noir to Rhône varietals — makes this an exceptional survey tasting. The vineyard setting and wine country landscape are as good as California gets.
