A Weekend in Santa Barbara


Lodging: The Fess Parkers Doubletree Resort, the Santa Barbara Inn and Hotel Mar Monte are all right across from the beach on Cabrillo Ave. Lodging can be expensive in Santa Barbara so if you don’t want to splurge cheaper options are available in Goleta, just north of town.


For a MEMORABLE stop north of the city, try the “Sideways” Wine Tour, modeled after the 2004 movie that featured several Santa Barbara County wineries. Fess Parker, Foxen and Firestone vineyards’ proximity to each other and beautiful natural setting memorably captured in the fi lm make for a mini-Napa experience without traffi c and crowds.


The “American Riviera” averages more than 300 days of sunshine and a comfortable 64°. Due to the city’s unique location—tall mountains very close to the ocean and the California coastline runs almost due East/West—inclement weather and blistering hot days are kept at bay.


Mission Tours:


The Santa Barbara Mission, the tenth of 21 missions spanning the California coast, still functions as a church nearly 225 years after its founding. The twin bell towers and stone façade pat-


terned after an ancient Latin temple stand out on grounds characterized by green lawns and a beautiful rose garden. The mission occupies high ground overlooking the city stretching to the Pacifi c; tours are available.
