SANTA BARBARA, CA— The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History invites the
community to raise a glass to the flavors, landscapes, and people that make the region
extraordinary at the 38th annual Santa Barbara Wine Festival®. Set against the Museum’s
iconic oak woodland campus, the festival brings together many of the region’s most
celebrated wineries, restaurants, and culinary artisans for an afternoon of tasting,
discovery, and connection on June 27, from 2-5pm. While many more winemakers and
chefs are yet to be added, we are delighted to announce the first phase of showcased
vendors with over 75 vendors already confirmed. By the time the festival comes around,
this number will be closer to 90.
Guests will enjoy wines from across Santa Barbara County, including the Sta. Rita Hills and
beyond, poured by an exceptional lineup of producers such as Au Bon Climat, Foxen
Vineyard and Winery, Fess Parker Winery and Vineyard, Tablas Creek, Zaca Mesa Winery,
Lyons Vineyards, Presqu’ile Winery, Beckman Vineyards, Hitching Post II Restaurant and

Wine Company x Barden, Grassini Family Vineyards, Rideau, Peake Ranch Winery, Lumen

Wines, and Riverbench Vineyard and Winery. The full list of confirmed wine makers can be

Complementing the wines is a vibrant culinary program that reflects Santa Barbara’s farm
focused, seasonal ethos. Guests can sample bites from beloved local restaurants and
producers including The Lark, Loquita, Ospi, Convivo Restaurant, Finch and Fork, Costa
Restaurant, Paloma, Blackbird, Empty Bowl Gourmet Noodle Bar, Secret Bao, Lucky
Penny, Il Fustino, Helena Avenue Bakery, Bob’s Well Bread Bakery, Cuso’s Creamery,

alcoholic options round out the tasting experience, with participation from Draughtsman
