Meet
The Drawing Room on De la Vina
Your daily meeting home: a light-filled hall for up to 50 guests, steps from your rooms, set and reset for you each day.
Both evenings are hosted by our own restaurants: same team, same standard, and none of the vendor juggling.
Dine · One Night
A Private Dinner by Bistro Amasa
Our bistro takes over the Drawing Room: candlelight, long tables, and a menu built for your group.
Dine · One Night
Al Fresco at Barbareño
A private open-air evening at our Central Coast restaurant, cooked over the fire.
Explore
A wine-tasting afternoon in the Santa Ynez Valley with Rockstar Transportation, or a beach day hosted by The Barbara Beach Club.
Capture
Video content captured throughout your stay, edited into a highlight reel for your company.
All Within a Short Stroll
Six Doors, One Neighborhood
Our three inns, the Drawing Room, and both restaurants sit within a few blocks of one another in downtown Santa Barbara — easy to move between on foot.
A Sample Stay
Three Days, Fully Planned
Every retreat is shaped around your team. Here’s how three days with us tend to unfold.
Day One
Arrive and settle into your inn. Gather that evening for a welcome dinner hosted by Bistro Amasa in the Drawing Room.
Day Two
Breakfast at your inn, then a working morning in the Drawing Room and an afternoon of wine tasting in the Santa Ynez Valley. Dinner al fresco at Barbareño.
Day Three
One more breakfast and a closing session, then a beach day with The Barbara Beach Club before your team heads home.
One point of contact plans it all: rooms, meetings, meals, transportation, and excursions. You just gather your people.
