Santa Barbara Wine Getaway

We had a wonderful trip down the central coast wine region and a final day in Santa Barbara proper. We explored the Santa Maria Valley Foxen Trail, the Los Olivos Promenade, Solvang and the Santa Barbara Urban Wine Trail.  It was nice to experience a new valley since we spend so much time in Sonoma and Napa. The wine, the views and the food were all breathtaking. I brought back a few postcards for you:

Saarloos and Sons - cupcake and wine tasting

Andrew Murray - Amazing Syrah

A burrata burger with shaved meyer lemon from Sides Hardware and Shoes 

Goat cheese with almonds and leeks at Succulent Cafe, alongside a house made charcuterie plate (sadly, not pictured)

Bubbles were hard to come across but a visit to the excellent Wandering Dog wine bar led to a flight

Cruising in beautiful Santa Barbara

Oysters at The Hungry Cat - great raw bar and seafood small plates. Happy Birthday Joe!

Souvenirs!
