18 Best Wine Bars near Goleta

“All they had was pizza slices - which were good! But not sure if they recently stopped with the larger variety of food.Edit - Owner reached out and said they are dealing with permitting and construction projects. They expect to have a full menu again come Summer '24. There was no information about this anywhere so hopefully this saves someone a trip.“

“I think ca Dario has a sweet spot for me and my husband because we have had many special dates here. It's amazing how inside it feels nothing like the actual location. The food is always great and the pasta is amazing! The best gnocchi I've had. I recommend for a special and yummy dinner.“

“Our waiter Cole really guided our choices by explaining ingredients. Since I cook I like to know everything! His explanation was so helpful. The black cod was the best thing I've eaten in a while. The Santa Maria tri tip was so flavorful. The citrus salad was tangy and flavorful with the fennel. I can't speak too highly of this meal and service. I would be a regular if I lived nearby.“

“Stopped by a few weeks ago to check it out and glad we did! Small place which makes it cozy and intimate. The outside seating is nice too. Service is awesome as well, they really make you feel welcome... We had red wine and porchetta, which is delish!!! highly recommended...and its local!!!“

“Great spot for low-key locals.“

“10/10 recommend for anyone looking to go wine tasting in Santa Barbara. Not only is the wine amazing, but the owner is such a great host! He was very informative on the wines we were tasting and let us in on his story of starting his business. When we visit Santa Barbara again, we will definitely be coming back to Skyenna. Thank you, Lenny!“

“Even though I would've driven right place this place nestled in a semi-industrial feel location. Overall, this is exactly what I would expect of a wine tasting. Tasted 5 different wines from the reds and roses. Our server seemed very knowledgable about the different wines. I know nothing about wine and appreciated her suggestions and insight. While I was hopeful I'd be wrong, I knew the chardonnay was going to be my least favorite since I have yet to find one that I like... from any where.It was a super chill patio experience. Apparently this is a popular place for dog owners to hang out with thier pups. Inside was live music but everyone still hung out on the patio because of either the dogs or the weather.The cheese board was a nice compliment to the wine, the nuts and crackers were helpful after my 2nd wine. It would've been nice to have some additional options for those who can't do cheese or have nut allergies. Ended up purchasing some of my fav, the Sauvignon Blanc (2022) and can't wait to share it with friends!“

“The food here was amazing! We had the oysters, steamed clams, rock fish dinner, and seared ahi tuna dinner. Everything was absolutely delicious. The ahi tuna was so buttery and yummy! Our server Ash was awesome. She gave us great service, was very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and quick to serve us! Even the prices are reasonable. All around great place! Definitely coming back.“

“If I could give Gabi and team 10/10 stars I would. They not only knocked our rehearsal dinner and welcome party out of the park but they are the kindest people you will ever meet. They opened up their business to us like it was their home and their food and wine selection shows. My wife and I are forever grateful to the staff for making such a memorable event that everyone came away from incredibly happy“

“Night and day experience. We had been to Happy Canyon earlier in the day and left disappointed. We decided to do a quick tasting at Grassini. The wines here are by far some of the best out of Happy Canyon AVA. Avery and Jackie were the girls working that day, they took great care of us. The Cabernet Sauvignon was our favorite. Grassini is a bit on the pricier side but well worth it. The staff and environment is very enjoyable. Will always make stop while visiting Santa Barbara“

“Well what a treat! We have walked by a few times and never pulled in. What a mistake that was.An amazing atmosphere, an amazing selection of local wines and to top it off Savanah was a wealth of knowledge and displayed it in such a professional and refreshing way. The cheeses were also fabulous, great job. We will be back and will bring others! Thank you.“

“Great location, service, wine, family friendly, dog friendly and live music what’s not to love ❤️“

“Great service, great food. And it’s in Santa Barbara!“

“Stopped here for a quick glass of wine, and it was a great spot. The outdoor patio is very open and has plenty of space, and there was even live music when we went which was fun. They have a pretty extensive wine list and each wine was around $15 a 6 oz pour, which is pretty typical pricing. I ordered the "Market Price" 2022 orange wine and although it wasn't very orange in color, it definitely had the classic flavor of an orange wine, and I really enjoyed it. My friend ordered the "Harvest Moon" 2022 white wine blend, which is similar to a vinho verde. This wine was very refreshing and light which we also loved. I wish the servers explained the notes of the wine or just gave us more information prior to us ordering our drinks, but next time I might order a flight to get that experience. Definitely a good place to spend an afternoon with a glass of wine in the funk zone.“
