Vic’s is owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Aleah and Ethan, who fell in love in Santa Barbara while sipping wine in restaurants, on beaches, and in parks across the city. The wine bar bears the name of their Auntie Victoria, who lives in New Zealand. To know Auntie Vic is to be immediately swept up in her warmth and hospitality, and we want Vic’s to feel the same way.
Inspired by Kiwi café culture, where morning coffee shops often transform at night, Vic’s is open Friday–Sunday inside Little King Coffee at the Post Montecito. Their wine list is split between California producers and thoughtfully selected European imports, bringing together wines from close to home and farther afield. The food menu carries that same sense of place, with ingredients sourced locally from producers throughout Santa Barbara County whenever possible.
Vic’s is a collection of the best that life has to offer: sun-soaked afternoons, unhurried conversations, a savored bite and refreshing pours all around.
