Please the Palate Pick of the Week: Bento Box Tasting and Wine Pairing at Margerum Wine Company in Los Olivos
Many wineries offer food and wine pairing experiences at their tasting rooms. A successful food and wine pairing can be symbiotic.

15 Best Wine Tasting Rooms In Santa Barbara - Tasting Table
Another Funk Zone favorite, Margerum Tasting Room in the Hotel Californian is a bright and airy tasting room that serves plenty of great food and wine.
