Conway Family Wines is happy to participate in this years Urban Wine Trail Holiday Trolley Tour! Looking for a fun evening activity for friends and family this holiday season? Eleven local Santa Barbara wineries and the Santa Barbara Trolley Co. have teamed up to provide an eventful evening of wine tasting and festivity.

The cost of the event is $50 per person. Tickets are available at participating wineries, and from Unity Shoppe, 1219 State St. Call 805.886.0613 for more information.
