It’s amazing how fast the Christmas switch gets turned on the morning after Thanksgiving has passed. It’s like suddenly it’s acceptable to play Christmas music, write your Christmas lists, and decorate the streets with colorful bulbs of light. I had the experience of going into the same Starbucks in LA on Thanksgiving Day and then again the day after. Totally different experience once we officially moved into the Christmas season - the baristas were wearing Santa hats, Jingle Bells were playing from the stereo, and gift baskets were arranged next to the cash register for impulse gift buys.
As you start to put together your holiday gift plans look over the website for wrapped baskets, wood boxes,
and chocolates. We just updated our holiday gift baskets to include a few of our newest local products such as elegantly towering Los Olivos Cafe Bread Dipping Oil, savory American Vintage Wine Biscuits, and intensely flavorful Los Olivos Cafe Olive Tapenade. (Los Olivos Cafe is a Zagat rated restaurant in the Santa Ynez Valley). It’s the perfect Santa Barbara package for the holidays and also includes a bottle of wine. We stuff, wrap, and ship everything right out of our downtown Santa Barbara Winery. To cater to your needs our online store has set different price points for the baskets and you can choose a bottle of wine that fits into those categories - red or white.

Wine gift baskets are great ideas. What are the best ways to ship baskets containing wine?
We can ship them for you here at the winery.
