There is something so magical about Santa Barbara. It always seems like entering a new form of air. This weekend Woodworth and I decided to take a spontaneous trip to our favourite spot. Not only is he a great driver but he is also a fantastic travel companion. He does the driving, I do the planning. Although in Santa Barbara - there are no plans. It's very much a laid back scenario. While there are definite things to do and see, we like to keep things to a minimum and the laughs to a maximum.
With the busy and hectic pace of Los Angeles, I always feel so thankful to get away from it all. I like to reach peace, hear my own breath and listen to how loud silence is.
Bacara Resort cannot be beaten. If you've never been to Santa Barbara or if you've never fallen in love, then you must experience both these simultaneously here. It is such a beautiful resort filled with light and energy.
Wine tasting in this city is a must. One of my favourite vineyards is located in Los Olivos, on a street lined with boutique-like tasting rooms. Carhartt is owned by Mike and Brooke. They are such lovely people and they always welcome us with open arms. Carhartt is known as the worlds smallest wine tasting room, in fact the atmosphere is such the opposite. Be prepared to meet charming and intriguing characters from all over the world.
If I could live anywhere in the world, it would definitely be Santa Barbara.
