Santa Barbara Wine tasting trip to SB - need suggestions!
Posted: Sun August 27, 2006 03:40 PM UTC
Would like to go to SB over the holidays in December. (3-4 days) Need a nice hotel near wineries.(Price not an issue.) (Will have a rental car.)

Also need a map of the SB area - any good web-links for this?

Any other suggestions would be helpful and most appreciated. Thanks! :)

My wife and I just stayed there a week ago and had a wonderful time. This is the area sideways was filmed at. It's about an hour north of santa barbara. The country side is beautiful. The service at the inn was excellent. Complimentary wine and very good appetizers are served in the sitting from from 4:30 - 5:30pm. $275 a night is what we paid. Very happy with it.

My wife and I spent our last anniversary there for a long weekend. There are so many good wineries, you won't be disappointed. Try this web site: http://www.winecountrygetaways.com/sideways-wineries.html
We went to several and were always pleased. Tally and Sanford were two of our favorites. Los Olivos cafe is a sure bet for a fine dinner.

I would second wine tasting in Los Olivos. Just be sure to either have a designated driver or arrange alternative transportation.
