A glimpse behind the scenes of creating the Red Dining Book Los Angeles 2026 and Santa Barbara Wine Country 2026 editions 🍽️🍷❤️
Above all, a heartfelt thank you to all of our partner restaurants and wineries who made these editions possible. Welcoming us into your kitchens, dining rooms, and vineyards — and sharing your time with us — is what brought these books to life, and we’re incredibly thankful for the trust and collaboration.
A very special thank you to @simonevankempen_photography, whose images capture the spirit of these places so beautifully. These editions truly wouldn’t be the same without you <3
This process was such a joy from start to finish, and we can’t wait for everyone to experience these amazing restaurants and wineries for themselves.
