35 Best Wine Bars near Buellton

“2025.01.19 - Tasty ribs, tasty burger all oak grilled pair nicely with solid wines. Nice place, aside from a small indoor seating area the seating is outside where you can smell the smoke of the grill and see the ostrich farm off in the distance. The 2018 Sanford and Benedict Pinot Noir paired well with the delicious BBQ ribs that had a sauce that was more jelly and glaze than sauce with a very slight kiss of heat to the flavor. The Oak Grilled burger was also delicious, though over cooked. The hosts were all friendly and accommodating, great staff. We tried a glass of the 2018 Sanford and Benedict - Pinot noir - tasty and bold for a pinot noir. Subtly nuts? Maybe walnuts?“

“Beautiful patio. Lived the wine and music“

“I have been coming to Hitching Post 2 for 20 years and I've never experienced such slow and lackluster service, and on my birthday! We sat down at 6:40 and didn't leave till 9 PM and not because we were drinking copious bottles of wine, ha, wish!  the enthusiasm level from the staff was very low, and it took nearly an hour to get our main course after ordering. We were seated in the annex room next to the bathrooms, which is fine, but not very fun atmosphere but at least it's quiet. The birthday delivery of dessert took forever and wasn't served with much fanfare. Disappointing night from an otherwise solid and great restaurant.“

“Great owners and wonderful staff. The location is excellent and the food incredible... They are not a regular restaurant, so check the day you are going to see what's on the menu and if they are hosting a private event. I totally recommend Fridays for the Viking Sandwich and a honey ale. They have awesome wines as well. One of the best local spots for my wife and I. Be sure to stop by when in Solvang.“

“good service the cheese and flight worked out“

“This place is absolutely beautiful, the service was great and the bbq truck they are paired with was also delicious.

They have a wonderful wine selection but also had some great non-alcoholic options.

The gentleman at the bar even turned on the heater next to our table for us since it was a drizzly day.

If I lived around here I’d definitely be here all the time!“

“Feliz Noche Cellars is a hidden gem in the Solvang, in the Santa Ynez Valley! Tasting room Manager, Chucky Hernandez is knowledgeable and enthusiastic, making the tasting experience both educational and fun. You're welcomed with warmth when you enter the tasting room in Solvang. Felipe Hernandez's winemaking skills are evident in every bottle. The wines are outstanding, each providing a unique taste of the region. I especially enjoyed their signature blends.“

“Always fantastic here cheers!“

“I had a great time last month at Holus Bolus. Amy has an exciting winemaking style that showcases the best of what the Santa Rita Hills can be. It was also great to hear about her experiences making wine and plans for the future of her brand.“

“The best wine , atmosphere, and the greatest staff“

“We have a good experience with our young & Sharp bar tender, the German-American Lamar, he was so very attentive. The wine testing pretty good, tasted the industrial wine flight, We bought the bottle of Five Hearts.“

“We had the opportunity to visit Grimm's Bluff and were blown away. We loved the private vineyard tour. The grounds were beautiful and we learned so much from Ashlyn as she introduced us to the property. The wine is STUNNING - unique and delicious, and different from SY valley. Ashlyn was a wonderful host and we can't wait to come back.“

“Love this place! Had a great experience with friends. That atmosphere is very relaxing. The wine is great!“

“I usually do not like to write reviews but this one is well worth a sip.I happened to walk into this charming little boutique wine store and tasting room on Grand Ave in Los Olivos. Mike, the owner was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the wines in the region as well as around the world. You could see he has a passion for this business.A good variety of wines to taste and purchase at respective prices. Definitely worth the walk in out of all the stores on the street.Then buy a bottle and eat at one of the restaurants that accept BYOB. A true spirit of small town USA in California.I will be back to fill my wine fridge for friends and family. A perfect break on my drive to Monterey.“

“One of the highlights of our trip! It was crazy busy in Solvang over this weekend (December), people were lined up outside of other places, and we managed to get in here! The two workers (a young man and an older woman (sorry, I can't remember their names) were awesome. It has an old fashioned/European/romantic feel. There was also live music. Vast selection of wine and beer. I had a delicious dry champagne, and my husband loved the German beer on tap. We had a cheese plate that was incredible value. We will be back next time we are in Solvang!“

The lunch menu was vast with several additional specials. The fresh lobster roll and crab bisque were both outstanding! I certainly will return soon.🦞🦀“

“During our trip to Santa Ynez, Refugio Ranch stood out as our favorite stop. Alex’s warm welcome and friendly service allowed us to sit back, relax, and enjoy.

The wines at Refugio ended up being our favorites of the entire trip. The world-class smash burger and lobster roll were welcomed additions to the experience as well. You must try the food if you go here on the weekend.

We went to Refugio 3 separate times during our stay! I cannot praise this establishment enough. Can’t wait to return on our next trip to the area.“

“Surprised this spot doesn't have more reviews! Visited in January with a few friends in the wine scene in SB county and Sunny was a brilliant hostess. I wasn't much of a wine person until I visited this area and Future Perfect was definitely part of that turning point!“

“First time for us at this restaurant. We ordered bruschetta pizza, it was quite a large size and very delicious. I ordered pasta with shrimp and mushrooms in a light tomato sauce which was very tasty and very good. My husband had A pasta dish with a variety of seafood. It was Valentine’s so the service was quite slow. For dessert I ordered a warm Apple strudel with vanilla ice cream., delicious! We are vacationing in this area and when we return we will definitely dine at this restaurant.“

“Some of the best musicians locally and across the US have come to play here. The sound system is stellar, created by Chris Pelonis owner, and professional sound studio engineer. The surroundings warm and intimate with beautiful guitars glowing under amber lights on the wall. A locals retreat, and tourists delight.“

“Fun staff, good food and service!“

“If only I lived in Solvang. This place is the type of place you go to and you wished your town had a place like thia. awesome vibes, great set up, and good games. Staff was amazing and all the beers me and my wife tried was great and not your average beer.“

“Came here for happy hour. The duck fat fries and aioli were delicious. The cocktails were unique and tasty as well. They were quite busy but our server always made time to check in on us and our orders came out in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend and come back!

“My son and I travel across the United States (Pembroke Transportation). We look for great value, fresh food & ingredients, good service and a atmosphere to relax for a few minutes and enjoy a great meal. Corner House Cafe has taken over our #1 spot. This chef will make you a meal that will tantalize your taste buds and have them asking for more even though your stuffed. Sous chef is a great asset to this Brother Sister team. Thank you for a wonderful breakfast and great memories. Hope to see you soon“

“Wonderful yummy restaurant! Great ambiance. Service was really good. Very attentive! Food was delicious! Started with the burrata salad and the beef carpacio. Both delicious. I had the Risotto Primavera which had lots of veggies. It was large enough to feed two people but I ended up having some left over to take back to hotel (yay!). Husband had the lasagna which was a good healthy serving size. We would recommend this place for sure!“
