The Downtown Santa Barbara Improvement Association (DSBIA) has announced details for the upcoming 24th Annual LIVE Art & Wine Tour, scheduled for Thursday, April 30, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The evening will kick off with check-in at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, where attendees will receive a commemorative wine glass, plate, and a map to navigate the featured tasting locations.

As the primary fundraiser for DSBIA, the proceeds from the Art & Wine Tour will support various initiatives aimed at revitalizing downtown Santa Barbara. These include projects like the Vacant Window Beautification Program, the 1st Thursday Art Walk, new art installations, and enhancements for maintenance and security.

From 5:30 to 8 p.m., guests can stroll through downtown, where participating venues will transform into pop-up galleries and tasting rooms. Notable venues include the Jeff Shelton Architect Studio, Silver Wines, and Jessica Risko Smith Interior Design Studio.

Local restaurants will offer wines and signature bites during the tour, along with live art experiences. The evening will culminate back at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum for a final party from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., featuring more local culinary delights, spirit tastings, a silent auction, and live music by The Groove Collective.

This is a 21+ event, and tickets for this all-inclusive experience can be purchased here.

Participating wineries and restaurants promise a vibrant evening, making it a highlight for both locals and visitors alike.
