Santa Barbara Vacation Rentals’ Tips For Exploring Santa Barbara Wine Country
By Santa Barbara Local | February 26, 2010
During your vacation getaway, Santa Barbara Vacation Rentals encourages travelers and wine enthusiasts to tour one of California’s most diverse grape growing regions. A majority of the 21,000 acres of vineyards planted in Santa Barbara County are family owned properties. This has proven to be a delightful discovery for every traveler. In order to create a memorable wine experience we offer the following tips:
- Hire a tour service to show you the finest wines Santa Barbara County has to offer. With over 200 wineries, vineyards and tasting rooms, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Tours are guided by wine experts who can show you the ultimate wineries and vineyards that specifically match your unique palate. The average tasting room pours 5 or 6 wines, and using a tour service will put your worries about driving to rest. We recommend using a service such as Coastal Concierge for your wine excursion.
- Known for its excellent growing conditions, beautiful scenery, and spectacular wines, we suggest you tour Santa Barbara County’s three distinct appellations: Santa Maria Valley, Santa Ynez Valley, and Santa Rita Hills. Note: you might also appreciate a visit to the Los Alamos Valley region, between the Santa Maria Valley and Santa Ynez Valley appellations.

- With glasses of delicious wine at your disposal, it’s perfectly acceptable to pick and choose what you want to drink. You will more than likely visit multiple wineries in a day and it’s important to remember…don’t be afraid to toss! Swirl and smell the wine, have a small taste, then pour it out. A couple crackers in between tastings will freshen your palette.
- If you fall in love with a specific winery, be sure to join their wine club. You will then be eligible for greater access to savings as well as receiving select varietals before they are released to the public. If you can’t wait to open up your new favorite wine, purchase a couple bottles at the tasting room and bring them back to your Santa Barbara vacation rental.
