Santa Barbara, only 2-hour drive from downtown Los Angeles, would be a fabulous place to spend your weekend with families. You can go on a wine tour or enjoy the great beach view sitting in a jacuzzi in your hotel.

 

Urban Wine Trail

The tour includes 17 tasting rooms. Get on your bike and off the road!
