This signature springtime event invites guests on a self-guided culinary adventure through the heart of downtown Santa Barbara. With your wine glass and plate in hand, you’ll explore eight curated venues from 5:30 to 8:00 pm, each featuring a unique blend of gourmet bites, refreshing sips from local wineries and breweries, and the work of talented local artists creating live.

Once you’ve toured and tasted your way through the stops, the evening continues at the iconic Arlington Theatre for the Final Party from 7:30 to 9:30 pm. This after-party brings even more culinary delights, specialty cocktails, and a silent auction—all set to a backdrop of lively entertainment.

With over 30 premier restaurants, wineries, and breweries participating, this is the event of the season for lovers of fine food, art, and community connection. And it's not just a great night out—your ticket supports a good cause.
