SANTA BARBARA
Couples Trip
November 11-13, 2026
THE AMERICAN RIVIERA
With golden beaches, Spanish-style architecture, and palm-lined streets, Santa Barbara is the perfect blend of coastal beauty, laid-back luxury, and California charm. We’ll stay at Hotel Californian in the heart of the Funk Zone, steps from the beach, tasting rooms, and some of the best dining in town. Slow mornings by the ocean, sunset strolls, and evenings out make it an ideal backdrop for time away.

SUGGESTED ATTIRE
Wednesday | November 11
-
Arrival: Comfortable travel attire. We’ll head from the airport to the hotel and walk straight to lunch on the patio, so you won’t have time to change. Sunglasses are recommended.
-
Dinner: Casual. Dinner is a walking taco tour through the Funk Zone, followed by dessert on the hotel rooftop. Comfortable shoes and a light jacket are recommended. We’ll be outdoors after sunset and temperatures will drop into the 50s.
Thursday | November 12
-
Catamaran Cruise: We recommend dressing in layers, as it tends to be cooler and breezier on the water. A light jacket or windbreaker is recommended. Wear comfortable, non-marking soled shoes. Don’t forget your sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat that won’t blow away.
-
Afternoon: At leisure. Pack a swimsuit if you’d like to enjoy the hotel’s rooftop pool.
-
Dinner: Smart casual. We’re heading to a farm estate in the foothills above Montecito, and the evening will be spent mostly outdoors after sunset. Please bring a warm jacket or wrap, and wear shoes suited to grass and gravel.
Friday | November 13
-
Trolley Tour & Lunch: You'll be packed up and checked out prior to the trolley tour, so you’ll want to be in comfortable travel clothing. We’ll be hopping on and off the trolley for pictures and for lunch in Montecito, so comfortable shoes are recommended. Again, the weather on the coast can be breezy, so keep a light jacket handy.
