🍂 Fall may be tiptoeing in, but there’s still a place in Santa Barbara where summer lingers on the plate. At Rascals, the menu is alive with authentic vegan creations that celebrate bold, vibrant flavors.

Their much-loved spicy elote—a true taste of sunshine and spice—remains a year-round favorite, ensuring that no matter the season, you can hold onto a little piece of summer. 🌽✨

✨ Perched high above Sta. Rita Hills, John Sebas

✨ Perched high above Sta. Rita Hills, John Sebastiano Vineyard is as dramatic as the road that winds up to it—steep slopes, swirling fog, and cool ocean winds shaping every grape.

Once a daring venture by two friends, it’s now one of the region’s most distinctive vineyards, celebrated for Rhône varieties like Grenache, Syrah, and Picpoul.

Winemakers across Santa Barbara County are drawn to its character and complexity—the kind of fruit that tells a story of risk, vision, and place.

September is California Wine Month! In 1973 Marsha

September is California Wine Month! In 1973 Marshall Ream planted a vineyard on a plateau near the headwaters of Zaca Creek. It wasn’t long before he recognized the value of making wine from their grape harvest, and he brought in a young recent enology school graduate named Ken Brown as the first winemaker of Zach Mesa Winery.

Over the course of 40 vintages, a slew of winemakers, assistant winemakers, enologists, lab techs, cellar rats, vineyard managers and vineyard workers have made valuable contributions to Zaca Mesa. In turn, the winery has offered them a place to learn, innovate and hone their craft—becoming a launching pad for many illustrious winemaking careers.

Zaca Mesa alumni recall the early days, camaraderie, and winemaking that shaped SantaBarbara's wine scene.

"It took some courage to stake out an investment in the future of an almost unknown region at that time, but they did it and time has proven them to be prescient." Daniel Gehrs

Summer in Santa Barbara is about sun-soaked days and the freshest local flavors. Think juicy tomatoes, sweet corn, stone fruit, and farmers market finds that make every meal a celebration of the season. ☀️

Some of this summer’s faves:

🌽 Bossie’s Kitchen, @bossieskitchen.sb : Home of Old Bossy the cow (~1940 - 2020). This neighborhood restaurant is open for lunch and dinner with indoor and patio dining. Their produce is always sourced from the Santa Barbara Farmer’s Market!

🍑 It’s National Peach Month, and you need a summer peach with ricotta honey and arugula pizza pie at St. Bibiana, @st.bibiana on Ortega Street.

🍦 And on Saturday nights, make sure you find Creaminal Ice Cream, @eatcreaminal at Your Choice Restaurant on State Street for No Sad Sundaes. Flavors change each week, check out some of the fun flavors!

Summer in Santa Barbara is sunny skies, gentle breezes, and simple joys in every bite. 🌿✨ In our latest issue, Pascale Beale of @pascaleskitchen invites us to unwrap al-fresco living—where a picnic, a light lunch on the terrace, or a casual nibble among friends becomes a moment of celebration.

Elizabeth David said it best: ‘There is nothing like eating outdoors. The taste of food is enhanced by the open air.’ Whether it’s tagliatelle swirled with summer pesto, juicy white peach crostini, or silky peach-pistachio semifreddo—you’ll find that summer tastes brighter in the open air!

So grab a friend, pull up a chair under the sun, and let the season sing. Read more in our summer issue.
