We had the best weekend and can't wait to go back! Next time, we'd love to check out some of the wineries and towns nearby.
Our Santa Barbara favorites:
The Funkzone : our favorite little arts district of shops, restaurants, breweries and tasting rooms
Fox Wine Co. : great local spot for wine, beer, and shopping all in one hipster space Area 51 : a quirky little tasting room in the funk zone, the owner Martin is quite the character
Butterfly Beach : absolutely beautiful, especially if you bike there. Go for a beach day or just to take in the views.
McConnells Ice Cream : so yummy!
The Lark : delicious family style restaurant with a wonderful charming ambiance, pricey but so worth it!
Lucky Penny : great little patio lunch spot in the Funkzone
The Shop : adorable little brunch place, delicious food and super charming - must go!
Jane : romantic little restaurant on State Street. Get the chicken picata!
Stearns Wharf : beautiful views especially at sunset and we heard theres a great tasting room there too
Santa Barbara County Courthouse : incredible views of Santa Barbara from the clock tower |
