October 2012

In keeping with the spirit of epicure.sb, Santa Barbara’s 4th annual month-long culinary extravaganza, Bella Vista is dishing up a savory five-course wine dinner menu for just $75 per person during the entire month of October. The lineup, developed by executive chef Alessandro Cartumini, is a locavore’s dream, with a parade of delectable dishes drawing from the region’s local bounty – from fresh seafood and all natural free-range beef to flavorful seasonal produce and artisanal foods. Outstanding wines from popular local vintners have been paired to perfectly complement each course and offer an overview of Santa Barbara County’s winemaking talent.
