Wine tasting in the Santa Ynez Valley, May 2-3

We've received lots of positive response to our wine trip invitation. If you haven't already, reserve your spot for FoodGroup LA's annual Santa Barbara county wine tour. Space is limited for an unforgettable weekend of relaxation, good company, and great food & wine in the rolling green hills of Santa Barbara County. See pricing details below. Payment is due by Saturday, March 15. Write to me for the mailing address or Paypal account.

The weekend activities begin with Friday night dinner. End the work-week early and take a scenic drive up PCH on Friday afternoon for dinner at one of the many restaurants in Los Olivos and Solvang (relive a 'Sideways' moment at Los Olivos Café or The Hitching Post).

Saturday morning starts with coffee and doughnuts before boarding the Wine Bus at the Los Olivos rental house. The Wine Bus will take us in comfort to wineries around Los Olivos and Santa Ynez. We'll enjoy a picnic lunch with a view of vineyards and green rolling hills. Tasting fees are included for all wineries. The bus will have plenty of room for your tasting room purchases.

After our winery visits, the bus will return to the rental house in Los Olivos. We'll have an hour or two to relax and nap. Dinner at the rental house will feature the local specialty: Santa Maria-style BBQ tri-tip and chicken from an award-winning local caterer. Enjoy the rest of the evening sipping wine under the stars, and come prepared for a dip in the hot tub. See details below for wine tour pricing and details on accommodations in town.
