The Santa Barbara Sea Shell Association will host its 42nd annual “Sips & Ships” Wine Tasting & Yacht Tour Fundraiser Saturday, October 3 from 4 to 7:30 PM at Marina One in the Santa Barbara Harbor.
“Sips & Ships continues to be one of our most anticipated traditions, bringing together the Santa Barbara community to enjoy the beauty of our harbor and celebrate the generosity of local wineries, breweries, corporations and businesses, and local and visiting boat owners,” said Denise Higgins, Commodore of the Santa Barbara Sea Shell Association. “It’s a wonderful evening of tasting, touring, and connection — all in support of the young sailors who carry forward our Sea Shell legacy.”

- Enjoy beer tastings too, paired with complementary bites
- Receive a commemorative Sea Shell wine glass with each ticket

- Bid to win fabulous silent auction items
- Mingle and meet all your friends during a wonderful afternoon and evening!
