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 will be held
from 1 to 4pm on April 19th, 2008 and will once again be celebrated
at River Park in Lompoc.
The festival will feature 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 why not make a weekend out of it, celebrating
the arrival of Spring and the beginning of the 2008 vintage
with us?

The Vintners’ Visa is your four-day pass
to twelve participating wineries, each of whom are waiving tasting
fees and might even be planning something special just for Visa
holders. To fully take advantage of the weekend, get a “combo”
ticket to visit tasting rooms on Friday, Sunday or Monday and enjoy
the Festival on Saturday.
And because we want you to enjoy your visit to
wine country and help keep our roads safe, we offer bus transportation
to/from the Festival from Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and Solvang
as well as a Designated Driver ticket, which allows your DD to enjoy
the festival ambiance, music and cuisine along with soft drinks
and coffee.
