Spend an unforgettable half a day enjoying beautiful Santa Barbara with your friends or family. Live like a local for a day, on a lively, engaging tour of the town. Fill up on delicious food from 5 to 6 eateries. Sample the region's best wine with up to two tastings in between jaunts that will take you past the town's many theaters and plazas.
El Paseo is more than a building, it is a vibe and a mini neighborhood. When you walk in from State Street there are a couple path ways leading into a lovely courtyard. The buildings surrounding the courtyard are filled with local businesses, a lot of local wine tasting rooms and a couple of restaurants and a lot of history dating back to the early 1920’s.
Our tour will visit one of the local wine tasting rooms to enjoy a wine tasting of 3-4 wines and eating a shared grazing box (shared only with people from your group).
