Santa Barbara

Located North of Los Angelos and on the west shore of California, Santa Barbara is generally thought of as a beach side resort, but it is so much more, it has a  growing winemaking Community with unique and interesting Diverse Wines and Tasting rooms.  The Topography spans a East to West orientation forming valleys allowing inland flows of fog and ocean breezes to shape one of the coolest growing regions in California.  The growing season is typically longer here, allowing the grapes to mature longer.

Temecula Wine Country

Temecula Wine Country is near San Diego, just off of Interstate 15. It has been growing for many years and since we began visiting in 2009 it’s has become even bigger and seems busier every time we go. It has a great Old Town with shops & restaurants that perfect for strolling after a day of wine tasting, or even during the day. There are two main roads, Rancho California and Deportola Road, where most of the vineyards are located, but there are several growing on the off shoot roads.
