Epicurean Santa Barbara is a community-based membership club that offers culinary experiences, exploration and education through unique creative culinary events in the Santa Barbara area. When you join our club, you’ll be part of a networked community of foodies, chefs, winemakers and artists, with access to discounted rates and member-only events.

To attend all events at the discounted rate, one must become a member. To become a member, simply register for a membership plan by clicking here. Memberships auto renew annually from the date you sign up. Once you’ve created your online account, login to your account and then register for events at the discounted rate via the events calendar. ESB hosts approximately 2 events per month, although we’ve been known to host up to 4. Two to three times a month you will receive a newsletter with upcoming events and sometimes a blast mid-week for pop-up events or special offers. Follow the links in the email to register. Just make sure you are logged-in to your account when purchasing.

The membership fee subsidizes events and covers the costs associated with running the club, including website hosting and maintenance, transaction fees, insurance and more.

We offer a 30-day money back guarantee. If you sign up for a membership, attend an event, and decide it’s not for you, we will refund your membership fee if requested within 30 days of your registration. Just email us as info@epicureansb.com. After 30 days, your membership fee will not be refunded. To cancel your membership after 30 days, login to your account and choose the cancel option under on the subscription page. 

Events range in cost from free to several hundred dollars. We host pop-up tastings, group travels, dinners with Michelin starred chefs, and fun casual open houses. Attendance of events ranges from 10-30;  just enough for members to have one-on-one time with chefs and artisans. There is also an online directory and message center available to members; so you can keep in touch with those you have met through club events.

Yes. Depending on your membership you may bring 2-4 guests per year at the member rate . Simply add an additional ticket on the site when registering for an event. If an event has limited spots, only members will be able to register.

There are no refunds for tickets. In the case registered Ticket Holder cannot attend a ticketed event, he/she is welcome to request a ticket cancellation for store credit, or offer the ticket to another club member (or non-member guest if approved by ESB). Ticket cancellations must be made more than 7 days prior to the ticketed event. A cancellation fee of $10.00 will be deducted from the original cost of each ticket registration. Any remaining value will be provided as store credit to the Ticket Holder’s member account that may be used towards the purchase of a future event(s). Cancellations made inside 7 days will only be granted a ticket credit (less $10.00) if the ticket is purchased by someone on the waitlist, when applicable. Waitlist purchases are not guaranteed. All cancellations are final.

**If you cannot make an event at the last minute, please let us know. Do not let your seat go unfilled. Often we will have a waitlist, so if you fail to inform us of a cancellation, that seat goes to waste!

Yes you may.
