Santa Barbara County has more than 200 wineries across several growing areas. The Santa Ynez Valley is about 45 minutes from Santa Barbara over SR-154 or an hour via US-101 and Buellton. Los Olivos has dozens of tasting rooms within walking distance, which suits large groups, while estate wineries in the hills often need smaller vehicles.
The Funk Zone near Santa Barbara's waterfront has many tasting rooms within a few blocks, so a group can be dropped and picked up without driving between stops. Tastings should be booked before the vehicle.
