A Weekend for Santa Barbara Wineries

If you’ve been planning a trip to Santa Barbara, this weekend would be a good time to take it. All 22 wineries in the county are holding an open house. Special events include tours of wineries normally closed to the public, meals with various wine makers, tastings of older wines. . . .

Sunday features include a free all-day barbecue at Ballard Canyon Winery with country music, and a bouillabaisse festival at the Brander Vineyard ($10 per person). For more information, call the various Santa Barbara wineries, or (805) 688-0881 and (805) 688-6144.
