Ep 59 

Why do I love Santa Barbara wine country so much?

Aside from Walla Walla, which you know I love so much, Santa Barbara is my second favorite wine region in the US.

It’s not pretentious at all. It’s just a bunch of wine lovers making wine that they love that they then want to share with other people who love wine. 

Santa Barbara has lots of smaller amazing wineries, top notch restaurants and it’s next to the ocean so those views are ah-mazing!!

This is why I’m excited to share all about Santa Barbara wine country with you today.

We will dig into the travel logistics - how to get there, how to get around, where to stay, and what restaurants to visit. 

And of course, the best part, I’m sharing the wineries I visited and what I loved about each one!
