7 Best Wineries in Lompoc

“This place is incredible! We came for a (pre-booked! Important!) tasting session, and it's the best wine tasting experience we've ever had. Linda guided us through the tasting as well as the history of the wine maker and the estate with a lot of knowledge and passion. The wines are fabulous, and the vibe of the house and surroundings are incomparable.“

“Good wine! Will come again“

“When we didn't see the breezy 'Open' sign outside this Lompoc ghetto site for months during COVID, we were in despair. State restrictions had closed tasting rooms, then allowed partial functionality outside--and it wasn't until SB county achieved the inside allowances of the orange tier that Sweetzer was back on our radar. All the better, as Sweetzer's indoor decor is spare and therapeutic. Throw pillows adorn the couches, carved wooden blocks bear their name on the walls, and succulents or cacti can be found on every ledge. Lisa and Michael have a style all their own, which shows in their wine. They began with unconventional methods. Who would have thought producing wine was possible in an apartment in west hollywood? Their widely diverse lives, from tutoring in the 9-to-five to cycling in the predawn to pairing syrahs with pistachio-cardamom-rosewater biscotti, show that they can make magic from any varietal in their collection. Needless to say, we fell hard. Their La Encantada pinot noir was an early favorite. Their Lieff grenache made our tastebuds buzz. And on the lighter side, their chardonnays and rose keep prickling our senses of eagerness and curiosity. Come for the wine, stay for the ticonderoga number 2 pencil doodles, and keep Sweetzer in mind when you need a bit of recherche instagram inspiration...as these winemakers have certainly inspired us.“

“This was a fantastic experience! Lynn was so kind, knowledgeable, and made us laugh throughout the tasting. You can tell that she picked the right career. I would absolutely go back here, everyone I interacted with was friendly and helpful.“

“Sample several wines, love the Zin and red blends, good Sauvignon Blanc and Rose. Every knowledgeable staff. Brought home several bottles.“

“Such a wonderful winery ?The view is amazing ??It's off the main road so it's very quiet. You don't have to worry about your experience being interrupted. The wine was delicious ? We tried 2 different kinds of Syrah. Both were delicious. This would be a beautiful place for a wedding.“

“Bryan makes an amazing number of spectacular wines from a wide range of varietals. You will find something to like here! Plus, the tasting room is a must-see and the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable. We have been club members for years there. It is a world-class experience in Sta. Rita Hills. Go!“
