The Santa Barbara Vintners are hosting a “Behind the Scenes” series of panels aiming to engage those who are seeking to learn more about the region. The original slate was whittled back a bit to just three panels, but there is hope that more educational outreach like this will be offered to the public in the future.
The three panels being offered are:
- An Exploration of Santa Barbara County’s Seven Unique AVAs: This will showcase all seven of the county’s appellations, featuring wines from Roblar (representing the Santa Ynez Valley AVA), Foxen (Santa Maria Valley), Dovecote (Alisos Canyon), Happy Canyon Vineyard (Happy Canyon), Gainey Vineyard (Sta. Rita Hills), Margerum (Los Olivos District), and Saarloos & Sons (Ballard Canyon). Roblar’s on-site restaurant will serve lite bites. Fri., May 19, 4-6 p.m.; Roblar Winery (3010 Roblar Ave., Santa Ynez); $85
