The Funk Zone is a 10 block radius in downtown Santa Barbara that has great wine tastings and restaurant options. Highly recommend checking out some of these spots! We love Fox Wine Co., and Pali Wine Company.
Great beers and The Nook restaurant next door has awesome food they'll bring to your table!
If you're looking to see some cool, mission-inspired architecture, definitely check out the Santa Barbara Courthouse. It's completely free to take a self-guided tour, and if you have the stamina it's well worth climbing the clock tower to get a 360-degree view of Santa Barbara and the ocean!
This is a pedestrian-only street spanning the length of downtown that has awesome shops and restaurants for exploring. Grab a cone at McConnell's Ice Cream Shop- it's sooo good!
