Celebrate the Holidays with Santa Barbara County’s Award-Winning Wines As the holidays approach, the spirit of celebration beckons. One of the best ways to enhance these joyful moments is with a glass of exquisite wine. A thoughtfully chosen wine from a remarkable vineyard can turn these joyful moments into unforgettable memories with family and friends. This season, look to Santa Barbara County to enrich your celebrations with exceptional wines. Located on California’s Central Coast, Santa Barbara County is not only home to the American Riviera—the city of Santa Barbara—but it is also a veritable paradise for cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. A rare east-to-west mountain range funnels Pacific Ocean winds and fog into the vineyards, creating one of California’s longest growing seasons. The grapes ripen slowly, developing full flavors while holding onto their natural acidity. Affectionately referred to as “refrigerated sunshine,” this climate, combined with diverse soils, produces vibrant, irreplicable wines. Recognizing the magical qualities of this place, Wine Enthusiast Magazine awarded Santa Barbara County 2021 Wine Region of the Year. Why Choose Santa Barbara County Wines for the Holidays? Brimming with natural acidity, ripe fruit flavors, and a touch of salinity, Santa Barbara County wines are delicious to sip on their own and are extraordinarily versatile for pairing with just about any dish from traditional turkey to takeout Thai. Whether you are planning a festive dinner or a cozy evening by the fire, there’s a bottle for every occasion.
