GOINGS ON : If You Like Art or Wine, a Trip North Is in Order : Vintners group offers colorful map to area wineries. Quilts and paintings by local artists are on display.

After all the holiday activities--plays, concerts, parades and the like--that have been going on in Santa Barbara County recently, this coming week might seem a little on the quiet side.

But there will still be festive displays at the malls and along main thoroughfares and, if you like artwork or wine, there is still plenty of reason to make the trip north of the Ventura County line.

If family guests are in town for the holidays or you simply have some time off work, you might consider traveling through Santa Barbara County’s wine country.

The Santa Barbara County Vintners’ Assn. recently published an attractive color map of the 31 wineries and eight independent growers that are members of the organization. Location and wine tasting hours are listed.

These maps are available for free from the association, P. O. Box 1558, Santa Ynez, 93460. They can also be picked up at wineries, visitor information centers and lodging facilities throughout the county. For information, call 688-0881 or (800) 218-0881.
