10 Food & Drink in Santa Barbara That You Shouldn't Miss

February 21, 2022 Frederic Celentano

Nestled between the shrub-covered slopes of the Santa Ynez Mountains and the clear blue shores of the Pacific Ocean, Santa Barbara is California at its best. Mission Santa Barbara is an example of 18th-century religious architecture, boasting beautiful grounds and a wonderfully detailed interior. Work up an appetite with a walk through Shoreline Park, then dine above the water on Stearns Wharf. Fig trees, parks, waterfalls, and botanical gardens round out Santa Barbara’s natural beauty.

Fantastic find off the beaten path,Frequency was a couple of blocks off the main strip. Was there with family. The place is adjacent to a cheese shop where you can order cheese plates to accompany your tasting at Frequency. It is a small family run vineyard with family members pouring. Great people and conversation.Their pinots, chardonnays and special varietals were delicious. They were a great source for restaurant recos as well. It was a great way to take a load off enjoy wines and plan your next move.
