The Santa Barbara Downtown Organization hosts the Art and Wine Tour once a year. I have attended this event for the last four years as both a volunteer and as a patron. This year I have been fortunate to be pouring for East Beach Wine Company with selections from Carina Cellar Winery at one of the event locations on State Street. The wine was paired with appetizers from Pascucci's restaurant. The event started at the sunken gardens at the Courthouse and ended there with a 15+ wineries and restaurants catering to 500+ guests. There was a silent auction, a live band, and dance floor for the most courageous. The food and wine was such a collaboration of the best of Santa Barbara. I hope that if you are reading this blog that you take the opportunity in the future to attend.

Rancho del Cielo, or “Ranch of the Sky” is Carina Cellars’ exciting new winery and vineyards on the Westside of Paso Robles! Our 76 acre ranch has over 23 acres planted with our favorite Rhône varietals like Viognier, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre, along with some fun new varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Tannat.
