The Santa Barbara Urban Wine Trail

Looking for an easy shore excursion in Santa Barbara? If you're a true oenophile, but just don't have time to venture further afield, boot up for the Santa Barbara Urban Wine Trail. 

Just steps from Stearns Wharf, you'll find a generous handful of excellent California wineries, many of which are family-owned and produce small lots, making this an experience you can't get anywhere else. Choose a few tasting rooms to visit while strolling the pedestrian-friendly streets of downtown Santa Barbara. From the "cool, funky" environment of Kalyra, to Oreana's sunny patio, which was once a tire shop, this is a wonderful introduction to Southern California's fantastic vineyards!

Santa Barbara is the penultimate port of call on the California Coastal Cruise by Princess Cruises, part of this month's FROSCH Hot List. Ask your FROSCH Travel agent for info on booking!
