Taste of El Encanto

The iconic El Encanto, A Belmond Hotel, Santa Barbara—a tranquil hideaway perched in the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains—will host its Taste of El Encanto event featuring Volcán De Mi Tierra Tequila on June 27-30, 2021. The Taste of El Encanto, Volcán Experience invites guests to enjoy an array of exclusive dinners and culinary activations in the hotel’s stunning coastal setting.

The three-day event offers a selection of hands-on experiences and demonstrations as well, including a “Sipping and Succulents” workshop, a private Flamenco dancing class, and a handmade tortilla making demonstration.
