Santa Barbara, nestled snugly between San Francisco and Los Angeles, is a city known for its warm climate, making it the perfect choice for resort-goers and beach lovers. The city sits right in the middle of the stunning stretch of coastline where the foot of the Santa Ynez Mountains kisses the Pacific Ocean, making it the perfect place for nature's marvels-aside from its great beaches Santa Barbara is also home to a variety of tropical flora and fauna. This stunning metropolis is also only 90 minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, which is a major tourist attraction of its own.

Santa Barbara is famous for its downtown, which is distinct in its red-tiled roofs and Mediterranean buildings, the reason why some like to call the city "the American Riviera." Santa Barbara's allure not only lies in its resemblance to that famous French getaway. The city also stands on its own when it comes to entertainment and shopping, as well as first class wining and dining in its restaurants and bars, wineries, and first class accommodations in four and five-star hotels and resorts. For wine lovers, Santa Barbara is definitely worth a visit. The city is home to the famous Pinot Noir of the Lafond Winery.
