The Experience
Your evening begins with check-in at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum (136 E. De la Guerra Street). There, you’ll receive your commemorative wine glass, plate, and a map highlighting multiple venues.
The Tour (5:30 PM – 8:00 PM): Stroll through downtown venues as they transform into pop-up galleries and tasting rooms. Sip world-class wines, sample signature bites from local restaurants, and experience live art.
The Final Party (7:30 PM – 9:30 PM): The celebration continues back at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum! Enjoy a high-energy finale featuring even more local delectables, spirit tastings, a silent auction, and music.
Sip, Savor, and Support
Featuring ~30 premier restaurants, wineries, and breweries, this is the downtown event of the year. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, it’s the ultimate way to experience the best bites, sips, and culture Santa Barbara has to offer.
