If you're never seen a polo match in person, you are truly missing out! Polo is an incredibly exciting and fast-paced game, comprised of two teams riding horses in an attempt to score goals by hitting a ball into your opponent's goal using a long-handled mallet. The action is fast, furious, and a sporting event truly unlike anything else you'll see in the world. One thing to note: While it's not required, they do encourage guests to dress as you would for a typical polo match. This means for women a stylish sundress, hat, and gloves, and for men a polo/button up shirt with chino pants, shorts, or nice jeans.
Once the polo action is completed, the fun will move to the heart of the festival: live music and wine! This year's lineup will feature some amazing artists, including ZZ Ward, Booker T. Jones, The California Honeydrops, and Quinn Deveaux. There will also be DJ sets played throughout the day by Soul Dust Productions, which will help to keep the mood just right and the atmosphere perfect!
Now, what would this amazing atmosphere be without some delicious wine to enjoy it in, right? Well luckily for you, The Polo & Wine in Santa Barbara has a lineup this year that's truly can't-miss. There are a number of amazing local wineries participating this year, including Sanford Winery & Vineyards, Old Creek Ranch Winery, and many more!
