The 24th Annual Downtown Santa Barbara LIVE Art & Wine Tour
Calling all food, wine, and art enthusiasts! The highly anticipated Downtown Santa Barbara LIVE Art & Wine Tour is back and better than ever. Join us on Thursday, April 30th, from 5:30 PM - 9:30 PM for an extraordinary culinary and artistic adventure through the heart of downtown.
The Experience
Your evening begins with check-in at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum (136 E. De la Guerra Street). There, you’ll receive your commemorative wine glass, plate, and a map highlighting multiple venues.
The Tour (5:30 PM – 8:00 PM): Stroll through downtown venues as they transform into pop-up galleries and tasting rooms. Sip world-class wines, sample signature bites from local restaurants, and experience live art.
The Final Party (7:30 PM – 9:30 PM): The celebration continues back at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum! Enjoy a high-energy finale featuring even more local delectables, spirit tastings, a silent auction, and music.
Sip, Savor, and Support
Featuring ~30 premier restaurants, wineries, and breweries, this is the downtown event of the year. Whether you're a local or just visiting, it’s the ultimate way to experience the best bites, sips, and culture Santa Barbara has to offer.
The LIVE Art & Wine Tour is the Downtown Santa Barbara Improvement Association's (DSBIA) primary fundraiser of the year. Proceeds from the event will support the revitalization of Downtown and DSBIA initiatives including the Vacant Window Beautification Program, 1st Thursday Art Walk, downtown art installations, enhanced cleaning and maintenance, security cameras and more.
