Tickets 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.
