Celebration of Harvest - Santa Barbara

The annual Celebration of Harvest festival will once again be held on the beautiful grounds of the Rancho Sisquoc Winery, located on the outskirts of Santa Maria, on Saturday October 9 from 1-4pm.

The 100+ members of the Vintners’ Association will all be there, pouring their most current wines, and they will be joined by over two dozen local chefs, caterers and specialty food purveyors to showcase the bounty of our unique agricultural paradise.

Per tradition, Vintners’ will be donating a plethora of large format bottle wines, special dinners at their wineries and gift-boxed verticals for a Silent Auction, which will benefit local charities. Call 805.688.0881 or see www.SBCountyWines.com
