Just one block from the beach and Stern’s Wharf, J. Wilkes's tasting room is at the heart of Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone, serving a rotating menu of bites alongside their portfolio of unique, sub-appellated coastal wines. With its stunning backdrop, the tasting room embodies the spirit of the American Riviera, where laid-back vibes meet upscale sensibilities, leisure meets luxury, chic meets casual and trendy meets timeless.

This is the first time TGIF is hosting at J. Wilkes, so come on by and try something new! Bring a layer for the cooler coastal evenings.

TGIF events are a great way to start the weekend in a fun and relaxing setting. At TGIF you will make new friends, catch up with existing friends, and get to know the local restaurants and bars. With no registration required, the events are open to Newcomers and graduates, and attendees can bring a friend along. Come join us, Newbies!

This is a pay-as-you-go event. Please note that tips are not included in the price of food and drinks. Kindly tip your servers and bartenders when you order food and/or drinks. (SBNC recommends tipping 20% or more). We want to leave a positive impression in the Community at all times and consistent with the Club’s values treat everyone with respect.

To help us assure the best experience for all at our very well attended TGIF events, please refrain from bringing pets and dogs (other than Service Animals).
