Experiences

Discover Santa Barbara wine country through an intimate “Meet the Maker” experience curated by El Encanto in partnership with Coastal Concierge. Guests are welcomed into private estates for exclusive tastings hosted by the winemakers and owners themselves, offering rare access to small-lot and allocation wines seldom available to the public. Along the way, hear the stories behind each bottle, explore the philosophies that shape the region’s vineyards, and enjoy a thoughtfully arranged day that includes luxury transportation and a chef-prepared picnic. Each journey offers a personal introduction to the landscapes, craft, and character that define Santa Barbara’s celebrated wine country.
