The Funk Zone in Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone has developed into a subculture of artisan shops, hip eateries, wine-tasting rooms, and award-winning microbreweries.  You’ll quickly pick up on the cool vibe in the Funk Zone that resonates throughout this eclectic community of winemakers, surfboard shapers, local artists, and shopowners.

The Funk Zone is home to a majority of Santa Barbara’s Urban Wine Trail with a series of 17 tasting room representing Santa Barbara County wineries and vineyards.

You’ll find Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone nestled between the Pacific Ocean and Highway 101 (Between Cabrillo and lower Montecito)
