Nobody ever said you had to drink the local wines while amidst a world-class wine country, and the Wandering Dog plans to remind everyone of that with its "World Tour."

The Solvang wine bar will send event attendees' taste buds around the globe, with wines from old world to new. What's more, guests can refresh their palates with beer samples from England and Germany, enjoy some gourmet appetizers, listen to Spanish guitar, and win wine stuff from a raffle to benefit the PAWS parks of the Santa Ynez Valley.

So don't waste your time and money on costly world travels. Just head over to the Santa Ynez Valley Carriage Museum on October 2 and become a seasoned wine drinker between 1-4pm.

Tickets are $45 ($35 for Wine Society members), get them online here or call (805) 686-9126
