Sanford opens tasting room in downtown Santa Barbara
Winery selects La Arcada for its first urban location
Sanford Winery has opened a new tasting room in La Arcada at 1114 State Street in Santa Barbara. Sanford chose the arts and entertainment district of upper downtown, with the art museum, the Granada Theatre, and the new public market at Alma Del Pueblo all within a block or two. La Arcada’s refined, cobblestone setting seemed the perfect fit for the winery’s first tasting room outside of its facilities in the Santa Rita Hills.
“We are thrilled to join a vibrant community of wine producers represented in Santa Barbara’s urban wine trail,” Sanford Winemaker and General Manager Steve Fennell said. “We love being part of the La Arcada business community and look forward to many years of success.”
Michael Martz of Hayes Commercial Group represented Sanford in leasing the 1,016 sf retail space. “While the rapid growth of wine tasting in the Funk Zone is exciting, the team at Sanford determined that La Arcada provides an elegant location that really spoke to their brand and their clientele,” Martz said.
