Vintners' Festival

The annual Santa Barbara County Vintners' Festival attracts wine lovers from near and far for an opportunity to meet member vintners, taste their wines, and enjoy great food and music in a festive outdoor environment. The 2008 Vintners’ Festival was celebrated from 1 to 4pm on April 19th at River Park in Lompoc.

The festival featured the wines of our 100+ members of the Association, live and lively music, a silent auction and wine country cuisine by the area’s finest chefs.

And we made a weekend out of it, celebrating the arrival of Spring and the beginning of the 2008 vintage with the Vintners’ Visa - a four-day pass to twelve participating wineries, each of whom waived tasting fees and offered something special just for Visa holders.

And because we wanted you to enjoy your visit to wine country and help keep our roads safe, we offered bus transportation to/from the Festival from Lompoc, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and Solvang as well as a Designated Driver ticket, which allowed your DD to enjoy the festival ambiance, music and cuisine along with soft drinks and coffee.
