Santa Barbara Vintner's Festival

The annual Santa Barbara County Vintners' Festival Weekend was a huge hit this year attracting wine lovers from near and far for the opportunity to meet member vintners, taste their wines, and enjoy great food and music over a long spring weekend.

The highlight of the weekend was 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. Plan for April 2014!

Tickets to the Vintners' Festival, tickets for bus transportation to and from the Festival and Vintners' Visas are now available - click here to purchase.

Sulfites In Wine
Sulfites are a natural, organic preservative that humans have been using in wine and other foods for several thousand years. The only difference between France and the U.S. is that the U.S. requires a warning label, and warning labels create the unfortunate impression that where there's a warning, there must be something dangerous afoot.
