Santa Barbara Wineries

[sagavista]

Will be stopping at Santa Barbara on a California Costal Cruise.  I have one choice to visit wineries in the area: do I go to the wineries of Santa Ynez or the wineries of Santa Barbara?  Also, I gather it's a tender port - does anyone know the name of the dock where the tender arrives.

Thank you

Not aware of any wineries in Santa Barbara...if there are,  I would think it's simply a tasting room for a winery that is actually in the Santa Ynez valley.

The Santa Ynez Valley is a 30-45 minute commute...

The tender landing is simply called Sea Landing.

There is wine tasting walkable from the tender landing.

 

I'd go a wine tasting tour to visit specific wineries I wanted to see (Fess Parker, Zaca Mesa, Firestone, etc). Otherwise I'd stay in town.

There are numerous tasting rooms in Santa Barbara, just walk up state street.
