Santa Barbara is known for it's Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, However, the valley is exquisite for the different micro-climates. You can taste wines from inspirations of Bordeaux, Rhone and Burgundy/Loire Valleys.

Staying in town we recommend a few spots (all tasting rooms): Melville, Au Bon Climat & Samsara.

In the Valley, located off of Foxen Canyon, we love Andrew Murray and have so many family memories there. In the Santa Rita Hills, Babcock is another favorite.

Spend 4.5 Hours cruising around the Santa Barbara Channel Islands in search of in search of humpback, blue, and fin whales.
