Your day will begin with a beautiful 2 hr kayak tour of the Santa Barbara Harbor (no previous
experience needed). Our professionally guided tour includes a kayak lesson/briefing, all kayak gear and
paddles. This tour is the perfect introduction to kayaking and is fun for the entire family. Your tour starts
at the boat launch, winds through the harbor, under Stearns Wharf , and out to the one mile buoy.
Chances are good the locals will show up to greet you. Dolphin, California sea lions, and harbor seals
may cruise by to say hello.
Next, you'll be escorted to Santa Barbara 's wine country, the Santa Ynez Valley. There you will
experience the rugged beauty of the west as you ride horseback through this historic area. Then you'll
enjoy lunch at the area's most famous restaurant "Cold Spring Tavern". Built in the 1860's "The Tavern"
was originally a "STAGE COACH STOP". A historical must see and some good eatin' too! In addition
to delicious sandwiches, salad & soups, "The Tavern" offers Buffalo Burgers, Venison Steak
Sandwiches, and many other interesting choices…too much fun! (lunch not included in price).
Then, the finish to a perfect day, wine tasting as you review the days activities. You'll visit two of the
region's top wineries for wine tasting. Our first visit will be at the Gainey Vineyard which is surrounded
by 85 acres of premium vineyards, rolling hills and gracious oaks. At this Spanish style tasting room
you'll enjoy Gainey´s great wines and leave with a souvenir wine glass. At Gainey you will be given a
tour of wine making at its finest . Then you'll be escorted back to Santa Barbara.
