I will once again be partnering with the Santa Barbara Vintner’s to help promote another awesome event in wine country!  As most of you know, I love wine and I am always looking for new wines, different wineries to visit, and of course different events to attend!  When the Santa Barbara Vintner’s invited me to the upcoming Key to Wine Country event and gave me a discount code to share with all of you, my readers, I of course kindly obliged. 🙂 See how to use my Promo Code, DANISDEALS below to get tickets at 25% off!

The Key to Wine Country, a premiere wine event will be coming to Santa Barbara the weekend of December 5 – 7, 2014.  This will be a weekend filled with Exclusive wine and food throughout Santa Barbara County!  The Key to Wine Country is like a VIP tasting pass that gives key holders special access to exclusive events, experiences, and offers at a variety of different wineries and vineyards!  Each Key is valid over the entire three-day weekend. Key holders will be going beyond the usual wine tasting and will be given the opportunity to participate in special events, such as  going into the cellar with winemakers, tasting library wines not open to the public, learning how wines are made and/or blended, touring vineyards, touring wineries, and more!
