MUSHROOM FESTIVAL FEBRUARY 17th

This event has been rescheduled to Feb. 17 due to the closure of HWY 101 in Santa Barbara from the mudslides. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope you will join us over President’s Day Weekend.

Our festival is a must  for mushroom lovers! It is a culinary event not to be missed. The afternoon event unites mushroom and wine lovers alike to revel in the gustation of mushroom-centric dishes and Bedford wine. See Events for more details.

T’is the season to get in the spirit!
