Day 3

Saturday, April 2 | FULL DAY WINE COUNTRY TOUR INCLUDING FARM/WINERY TOUR WITH THE OWNER AND WINEMAKER

Everyone's heard of Napa, but fewer are familiar with the incredible wines being produced out of California's Central Coast. 

Today, we are going to change that as you embark on a tailor-made Santa Barbara Wine Country experience with a knowledgeable local food and wine guide. You'll begin the day in the heart of the Pinot Noir region in Lompoc in the Cebada Canyon area. Here, the owner and winemaker of a renowned local winery will give the group an exclusive, private tour of her vineyards, winery, and farm. You'll enjoy an in-depth tasting here including sparkling wine right in the vineyards!

Following your time with the generous winemaker, you will enjoy lunch at the famous Hitching Post Restaurant and tasting room, where you will taste wine and fill up on a casual lunch. After lunch, you will head to the uber-charming Danish village of Solvang, where a pastry tasting will be waiting for you. But don't fill up yet! Your last stop is in the quaint village of Los Olivos for a wine tasting at Stolpman's (a Belfrē partner winery!) tasting room. There will be a bit of time to wander charming Los Olivos before heading back to Santa Barbara for the evening.
