Santa Barbara Winery
Wine Tasting with Santa Barbara Winery and our featured artist, Beatris Burgoin
Enjoy an evening of art and wine as you sample selections from Santa Barbara Winery while exploring our current exhibition by Beatris Burgoin, Entre Mundos (Between Worlds), a reflection of coastal life lived between the mountains and the sea.
Deeply rooted in the local community and grounded by legacy, Santa Barbara Winery is the oldest commercial winery in the Santa Barbara County wine region. Founded in 1962 by pioneer Pierre Lafond, Santa Barbara Winery helped shape the region’s reputation for elegant, cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. With longtime winemaker Bruce McGuire, the winery crafts approachable, high-end wines, with award-winning Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs, and Syrahs among the highlights.
Meet the artist—and celebrate the beauty of Santa Barbara with us.

1st Thursday Art Walk
Art & Soul Gallery is pleased to present RAW AND REVEALED, a two-artist exhibition that brings together the porcelain sculptures of Joan Rosenberg-Dent and the abstract paintings of Sarita Reynolds in a striking dialogue of form, texture, and expression.
While working in distinct mediums, both artists investigate the balance between opposing forces—structure and spontaneity, fragility and strength, stillness and movement. Rosenberg-Dent’s sculptural forms, minimalist and refined, invite quiet reflection through their interaction with light and shadow. In contrast, Reynolds’ paintings pulse with energy, layering color, texture, and gesture in compositions that feel both intentional and instinctive.
Together, their work creates a shared space where contrast becomes connection—and where material and meaning are laid bare.
Wednesday, OCtober 15th 6–8 PM
