The Funk Zone, which is also a few blocks from the beach, has a lot of wine tasting rooms. Its also pretty close to the VRBO that I posted above.

Any favorite tasting rooms? We would like to hit one or two. (Not OP, but planning a trip)

Lots of options listed here. You can try multiple wineries' options at Santa Barbara Wine Collective. I like Babcock (served there) and also Santa Barbara Winery (has its own tasting room; wines for sale by the bottle at local grocers for much less than at the tasting room!).

Native SB here (another one! I guess we all got to DC at some point in our lives and found DCUM). Wonder if we know each other? Bishop HS class of 83

Anyways just want to say that I'm a big Bacara fan, but I do come down on the side that it's too far/remote if you want to really see the town, especially with kids as it's a drive. The other thing about Bacara is it's so great, you might just not leave there...and it really IS worth it to explore the town, SB is beautiful and has a lot to offer.

If it were me in OP's shoes, I'd do the Fess Parker on Cabrillo St., or something on Cabrillo.
