Things to Do

Enjoy our town while you're here...

During the week of the wedding, some of you out-of-towners may find yourself with some free time between events.


Here are some of our favorite places in town to eat or take in the town.

Favorite THINGS TO DO:


Watch the Sunset at Butterfly Beach:

See the special place where David proposed!


The clock tower at the Santa Barbara courthouse:

A 360 degree view from downtown, see the mountains and all the way to the ocean.


Wine tasting in Santa Ynez Valley:

There are dozens of fantastic tasting rooms and vineyard to pick from. Vega has a petting zoo and great wine. Los Olivos has great tasting rooms and restaurants. Our personal favorites are Stolpman's Fresh Garage and Bar le Cote.


Stearns Wharf / Harbor Breakwater:

Get out over the water, grab clam chowder or check out the small aquarium.


The Art Walk:

Local artists showcase their work every Sunday right next the pier along the beach.


Ostrichland USA:

Go meet the Ostriches and Emus face to face! It's incredible!


Favorite places to EAT:


Secret Bao - gourmet bao and Asian food

Los Agaves - perfect Mexican food with incredible salsa

Apertivo - wine bar, excellent pasta and Italian apps

Buena Onda - empenadas and Argentinian fare

Shalhoobs - outdoor California BBQ and Tri-Tip.

Brophy Brothers - maybe the world's best fish and chips, it's right on the harbor

Industrial Eats - Bre AND David's favorite. Period. (25 minutes out of town in Santa Ynez Valley)

Third Window - the best smash burger you'll have, hands down




Favorite places to DRINK:


Pearl Social - upscale boozing in the The Funk Zone.

Rodeo Room/Seven - top notch cocktails, great chow.

La Paloma - gorgeous margarita bar in downtown.

DUSK - high-end mixology

The Good Lion- classy cocktails

Biergarten - boots and steins with great sausages

The Imperial - all the way in Goleta, but it's David's favorite local spot
