Bring Your Hat - Santa Barbara health, wellness and wine trip

Day 1:

Pick up rental car

Stop at Lazy Acres for house supplies

Airbnb in the Mesa

 

1440 Santa Rosa Ave

Check in at 1:30

4 mile walk along the ocean to the Wharf and back

Snacks by the fire pit and pool

 

Day 2:

4 mile morning walk before the fog lifts to the Wharf along the ocean

9AM yoga session for two of the girls

9:30 Local hat retail visit, grape sorting and foot stomping at Samsara wine for me. https://www.samsarawine.com . Another bucket list item checked off the list. Hanging with the wine maker for a tamale after our hard work paired with the Radian vineyard Chardonnay was delicious. I will be writing a full article on this experience separately.

Head to the Funk Zone to shop

https://www.fessparker.com

3:30 pm reservation wine tasting at Fess Parker ( I am a member, so we get a free tasting for four)

5:00 pm reservation for dinner at Lark ( I have the chef’s Aunt and Uncle’s home listed in St Augustine Florida currently. What are the odds?) This was our favorite dinner of the trip.

 

Day 3:

https://hiddenca.com/gaviota-hot-springs/

Self guided. Bring towel and water.

This made for a beautiful ride up the coast and the hike was challenging, but I don’t believe we ever found the actual hot springs. Apparently they aren’t easy to find and you need to bring a local with you that knows the secret.

Stop at Lazy acres to pick up some soup for lunch

Wine in the hot tub was a midday treat

Www.Loquitasb.com

Dinner at 5:30 ( Stick to wine by the bottle or cocktails here. Beautiful garden setting, authentic food, friendly service and the wine by the glass options were limited.)
