No Forks Given: A Wood-Fired Feast

Get ready to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty at our one-of-a-kind, utensil-free dining experience! We’ve partnered with Daou Winery for an unforgettable evening of oak-grilled goodness, featuring an epic five-course meal straight from the farmer’s market to your plate.

Daou’s winemaker will be joining us to talk all things wine—what’s in your glass, and why it pairs perfectly with the flavors of the evening. We’re also thrilled to welcome Miliken Farms to chat about fresh, locally-grown crops like sugar snap peas, sweet potatoes and so much more. Learn about the farm-to-table journey and hear firsthand how these ingredients end up in your meal.

The best part? You won’t need utensils to enjoy the incredible flavors we’re serving up. It’s all about getting your hands in there, savoring the rustic, authentic flavors, and soaking in the true spirit of local cuisine. This isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience. Let’s get messy and raise a glass to great food, great wine, and even better company.

Welcome receipt will start at 5:30pm and dinner will be served at 6pm.

A portion of the proceeds from the Taste of Santa Barbara will benefit the Santa Barbara Culinary Experience in partnership with The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts.
