Great Wine and Ice cream.

Melissa was amazing tour guide. She gave us so much history about Santa Barbara and the Funk zone. We went to 2 different wine rooms. One was in an industrial chic building with different food options. The second was established in 1962 a block away from the beach. The stop at McConnells ice cream was another great hidden gem of Santa Barbara.

The people at the wineries were friendly and interesting to chat with and Melissa str...read more
