15. An itinerary for the perfect day
Crafting the perfect itinerary for a day in Santa Barbara involves a blend of coastal sightseeing and delicious food. Need a hand putting together the perfect day? Captain Spencer MacRae, co-owner with his wife, Courtney, of SunSwept Sailing has it all figured out. “Our family has called Santa Barbara home for seven generations and loves ‘touristing’. If you are looking for the quintessential Santa Barbara experience, we suggest starting with a sunrise hot air balloon ride with Sky’s the Limit Ballooning over the vineyards of the Santa Ynez Valley.
“Then visit one of the amazing bakeries, like Mortensen’s Danish Bakery, before starting a wine tour with Rooted Vine Tours complete with lunch and local Olive Oil Tasting at Rancho Olivos,” suggests MacRae. “Finish off the afternoon aboard Yacht Kelpie for an authentic sailing experience along the American Riviera with SunSwept Sailing.”
MacRae also recommends ending the night at a beloved dining spot. “Top off the evening with casual fine dining and drinks at Toma, an Italian seafood restaurant across from the harbor. As a bonus, if the weather is lovely, spend an extra day exploring the Channel Islands National Park and Marine Sanctuary.
A trip to Santa Barbara Wine Country wouldn’t be complete without an authentic sailing experience aboard Yacht Kelpie.
