The Experience

The Tour (5:30 PM – 8:00 PM): Stroll through downtown venues as they transform into pop-up galleries and tasting rooms. Sip world-class wines, sample signature bites from local restaurants, and experience live art.


The Final Party (7:30 PM – 9:30 PM): The celebration continues back at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum! Enjoy a high-energy finale featuring even more local delectables, spirit tastings, a silent auction, and music.

Featuring ~30 premier restaurants, wineries, and breweries, this is the downtown event of the year. Whether you're a local or just visiting, it’s the ultimate way to experience the best bites, sips, and culture Santa Barbara has to offer.


The LIVE Art & Wine Tour is the Downtown Santa Barbara Improvement Association's (DSBIA) primary fundraiser of the year.
