Santa Barbara County
Vintners' Festival Weekend
April 20, 21, 22, 23

The annual Santa Barbara County Vintners' Festival Weekend attracted wine lovers from near and far for an 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 presented some of the best local food from restaurants, catering companies and gourmet food creators. The 2012 Festival took place on Saturday, April 21st, from 1 to 4pm at The Carranza, on the outskirts of Los Olivos.

This weekend, wineries also presented their own events, ranging from Winemaker's Dinners through library tastings and sales to new wine releases and barrel tastings.

A favorite feature of the weekend was the Vintners' Visa - your passport to twelve winery tasting rooms - use the Vintners' Visa to explore new wineries - or revisit old friends.
