Vintners Celebration of Harvest @ Santa Barbara, CA (probdate)
The annual Celebration of Harvest is held in October each year, when we're in the thick of the winegrape harvest and winery staff will take a needed break to showcase their latest wines, many newly bottled!
Local restaurants, caterers and food suppliers showcase their talents and produce by providing delicious samples. Live music from several bands will keep your toes tapping. An important part of the Celebration of Harvest is the Silent Auction - your chance to own some very special bottles of wine.
Be sure to take in the sights, sounds, smells and excitement of harvest by extending your stay for a few days. The Vintners’ Visa is a four-day pass to 10 participating wineries, each of whom are pulling out all the stops just for Vintners’ Visa holders.
In addition to the Celebration itself, and the special treats offered through the Vintners’ Visa programs, many member wineries are hosting special events. From winemaker dinners to Open Houses to tours and tastings at wineries not generally open to the public, there’s a full slate of events during the long weekend.
