"When in Santa Barbara, always plan a drive through the San Marcos Pass. It’s one of three passages through the expansive Santa Ynez Mountains with a perfect stop to break up the drive at Cold Spring Tavern. It’s a former stagecoach stop that’s been serving food since 1865. Bikers and wine country aficionados dine at picnic tables and admire the vintage wagon wheels hanging from the walls. Order the beer-battered onion rings, tri-tip sandwich, wild game black bean chili, baby back pork ribs, or the buffalo burger." - Mona Holmes
