Kimpton’s Canary Hotel is celebrating the start of another sun-soaked summer by announcing the return of its Sunday Sangria Sunset happy hour as well as its Monday evening wine tasting series.
Guests and locals alike are invited to marvel at stunning views from Santa Barbara’s only rooftop terrace during the happy hour and wine tastings, both of which are quickly becoming seasonal traditions.
The Canary Hotel’s Sunday Sangria Sunsets is a perfect way to cap off any Santa Barbara weekend. Offered every Sunday evening from 4 to 7 p.m. from June to mid-October, guests will be able to indulge in $15 pitchers of sangria and bites from Finch & Fork restaurant. Additionally, food specials will include oysters on the half shell and seasonal ceviches from Finch & Fork executive chef James Siao.
The Canary Hotel’s rooftop wine tasting series also has kicked off. Every Monday evening from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. through mid-October, local wineries will be showcasing their best vintages and participants will have the opportunity to learn about one of Santa Barbara County’s leading industries.
And as wine is best when paired with equally exquisite food, guests can also sample various tempting bites from chef Siao, from the Canary Hotel’s newly re-concepted Finch & Fork restaurant. On Oct. 14, the Canary Hotel will bid farewell to the summer season, and the tasting series, with a festive grand finale bash featuring several of the vendors that have graced the Canary Hotel’s rooftop during the summer months.
