About Graze

Graze started with a simple question: why is it so hard to find the best places to eat and drink when visiting a new area?

Big review platforms are noisy. Social media is ephemeral. Word of mouth doesn't scale. We wanted something different — a curated, community-driven guide that feels like getting recommendations from a friend who lives there.

Covering the entire 805 area — from Santa Barbara and Montecito to Solvang, Carpinteria, and the Santa Ynez Valley — Graze brings together the best restaurants, wineries, breweries, and local favorites, all recommended by people who actually live here.

Users can save their favorites, share lists with friends, and claim exclusive perks. For businesses, Graze is a new way to connect with tourists planning their trip and locals exploring their own backyard.

Our value-first model means businesses pay nothing until Graze proves it drives real customers — no credit card upfront, no risk.

We're growing. The 805 is our home base, and we're building Graze to expand to every great food & drink region worth exploring.
