Santa Barbara Food Tours

Taste the American Riviera

Santa Barbara pairs ocean views with one of California's best small food scenes. Part of our California experience gifts and our wider Santa Barbara experience gifts, this collection is for anyone looking for a Funk Zone food tour, a Santa Barbara taco tour or a relaxed wine and food tour with a local guide. Each walk mixes tastings with stories about the neighborhoods and the people behind the food, so guests leave with a list of places to come back to.

From the Funk Zone to Solvang

The Funk Zone is packed with tasting rooms, street art and casual eateries, while downtown tours hop between cafes, taquerias and local favorites. A short drive inland, Solvang's Danish bakeries and village charm make a fun contrast, with photo stops along the way. Food lovers exploring further can browse our California food tours for more cities. New tours and tastings are added regularly, so the lineup is worth checking again.

A Gift for Food and Wine Lovers

A food tour makes a thoughtful anniversary gift for a coastal weekend, a fun birthday gift for friends, and a tasty Christmas surprise. Every Giftory gift comes as an instant e-voucher or in a printed gift box.

How much food is included on a Santa Barbara food tour?

Tastings usually add up to a full meal, so guests should arrive hungry and skip a big breakfast.

Can food tours cater for dietary needs?

Many tours can adapt for vegetarian guests or allergies with advance notice, so mention any requirements when booking.
