It’s harvest season: Head to Santa Barbara wine country to celebrate – by S. Irene Virbila for the Los Angeles Times
On Saturday afternoon, Mattei’s Tavern on the outskirts of Los Olivos in the Santa Ynez Valley will host a Harvest Celebration in collaboration with Terroir, a collection of wineries owned by Charles and Ali Banks.
The historic tavern’s partner and chef Robbie Wilson has planned a special menu that includes okra tempura with whipped French onion dip, shaved Wagyu beef with vine-smoked tuna and anchovy mayonnaise, charred beets with Turkish urfa pepper and mint, crispy beef tendon and salmon chorizo.
But what sounds really intriguing is the cotton candy station “executing adult-flavored beehives.”
