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!
