Santa Barbara Fall Tasting Festival

At the Museum

November 7, 2026 / 2:00 PM–5:00 PM

Celebrate the flavors of the season at the inaugural Santa Barbara Fall Tasting Festival, a new outdoor culinary experience for curious minds and locavores aged 21 and up. Join us for an afternoon of seasonal abundance as you support the community in one of Santa Barbara’s most beautiful natural settings.

Enjoy tastings of wine, craft beer, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages, and inspired food offerings from a diverse lineup of regional producers. Pair exceptional flavors with discovery as you meet the makers and learn more about the stories, science, and regional traditions behind what you taste.

This is a celebration with purpose: proceeds support the Museum’s science and nature education programs for children, helping inspire the next generation of scientists and stewards.

The Museum’s festivals usually sell out, so purchase your ticket today.

This is a rain or shine event.
