Santa Barbara
Article Abstract:
Santa Barbara is home to 18,000 acres of vineyards, and while much of it is Chardonnay, it is Pinot Noir that has captured the hearts of most winemakers, by inspiring great passion for planting in the appellations in the Santa Rita Hills and Santa Maria Valley. Other than Pinot, the popular red grape in Santa Barbara is Syrah, which is gaining a foothold in both warm and cool areas.

Several small vineyards in the canyons of valleys which are not noticed otherwise are visible from above the ground.
