Santa Barbara brings the region's wineries to the city itself, with tasting rooms tucked among the restaurants and galleries of the Funk Zone, just steps from the beach, and in the downtown core.
Wines poured here come largely from vineyards across Santa Barbara County, from Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir to Santa Ynez Valley Syrah. Combined with the city's Spanish-style architecture and coastal setting, it makes for an effortless day of tasting on foot.
