Santa Barbara County Vintner Celebrations
After 30 Years Vintners’ Festival Returns to Historic Mission Santa Ines
April 19-22, 2013
The annual Santa Barbara County Vintners' Festival Weekend attracts wine lovers from near and far for an opportunity to meet member vintners, taste their wines, and enjoy great food and music over a long spring weekend.
The highlight of the weekend is the Festival itself, where every one of our 100+ member wineries gather to present their wines, often poured by the winemakers themselves. The Festival also presents some of the best local food from restaurants, catering companies and gourmet food creators.
Celebration of Harvest
2nd weekend in October
Annual celebration of the year's bounty, where vintners take a break from the vineyards and cellars to share with you harvest tales and wines.
The highlight of the weekend is the Festival itself, where every one of our 110+ member wineries gather to present their wines, often poured by the winemakers themselves. The Festival also presents some of the best local food from restaurants, catering companies and gourmet food creators.
This weekend, wineries also present their own events, ranging from Winemaker's Dinners through library tastings and sales to new wine releases and barrel tastings.
A favorite feature of the weekend is the Vintners' Visa - your passport to ten winery tasting rooms - use the Vintners' Visa to explore new wineries - or revisit old friends.
