“Had an absolutely amazing time at Brick Barn. I have know been there twice. Each time we were served by Vanessa. I’ve been wine tasting a TON of times and Vanessa is one of the best servers we have ever had. Not only does she care about us, keep checking up on us, she is very knowledgeable about the wines and the entire wine industry. Thank you Brick Barn and Vanessa. We plan on visiting a lot more!“

“We had an incredible experience at Demetria! From the moment we arrived, Logan made us feel welcome and ensured our tasting was unforgettable. He was thoughtful and engaging, sharing insights about the property’s history and the wines, all while making sure we were well cared for. It’s no surprise he was a crowd favorite with everyone in our group of bachelorette gals!
The wines were outstanding—the best we tasted all day. It’s clear that Demetria takes immense pride in crafting exceptional wines and creating a memorable experience for their guests. This is a must-visit destination!“
“As someone always in search of the next adventure, I discovered one of my top five life experiences right here in Santa Maria at Presqu'ile Winery. And what better way to explore its spacious and enchanting grounds than on horseback?
From the moment you arrive, the winery captivates you. The winding road through the vineyard leads to a stunning, modern building. We were warmly welcomed, fitted with helmets, and guided down the property to meet our horses.
Now, let me preface this by saying I have an unreasonable fear of horses. But that didn’t faze our guide, who expertly introduced us to our horses and offered helpful riding tips. These horses, gentle and calm, seemed to truly enjoy their role as guides to the winery grounds. Their “day job” is training new riders—mostly kids.
My horse, Kicks, was a 30-year-old snuggler who immediately put me at ease. When I stopped petting him, he nudged my hand, asking for more affection. As we set off, Kicks patiently followed my commands, guiding me through the experience. Understanding my anxiety, our guide's mother, Sue, walked alongside us the whole time, helping me overcome a lifelong fear.
As we rode, we marveled at the rolling fields, mountains in the distance, and sightings of the coast just a few miles away. The rows of grapevines awaiting harvest gave us a glimpse of the future wine that would soon be tasted. After our ride, we were greeted with a crisp sparkling rosé—a perfect way to end the adventure and begin our wine tasting experience with a curated food pairing.
We returned to the winery, soaking in the views, and settled by the fireplace to sip wine and enjoy good conversation. Our server, a Santa Maria native, was incredibly knowledgeable about their wines, which included chardonnays, pinot noirs, and syrah. She explained the wine-making process in detail and presented a spread of delightful bites to pair with each wine—from a fresh salad with hand-picked fruits and vegetables grown on the property to handmade hummus and a whipped goat and feta spread. The food and wine pairings were an experience in themselves.
Our visit concluded with a tour through the winery's temperature-controlled cave, which stretches 60 feet underground, lined with barrels filled with aging wine. The tour ended on the terrace, where the breathtaking views once again left us in awe.
From start to finish, the entire experience was extraordinary. If this winery wasn’t on your bucket list before, it certainly should be now.“

“My mom placed a huge order for 30+ people and the food was amazing. I love the kung pow chicken, orange chicken, and broccoli beef, with chicken chow main. Both steamed rice and fried rice are delicious (but I prefer the fried rice). We had leftovers that stayed fresh for another week. Everyone enjoyed the food and the pickup was very easy.“
“This spot is in a lot with other wine tasting rooms and it’s a solid spot. This review is from a casual wine drinker.I just had their tasting that had about 6-7 wines and it was a solid set of offerings. The interior was very welcoming and the outside patio is a good spot to take a date. Overall the wines were very good and solid customer service from Matt.I’d definitely come back again to try their future wines.“

“Tried the MIA pizza and the boneless wings! 🔥 so good!!! The flavor of the pizza is really good. The cilantro gives it a unique taste. And the wings are great also!“
“Great experience as always! John was our tasting guide at first but then Kiana finished our experience. Both were friendly and helpful. We are club members not only because we enjoy Sanford Pinots but mainly because we are always treated so well by the entire staff when we visit. Donna is a great wine club manager while Kiana is the best every time we visit.“

“Unforgettable Experience at Babcock Winery!
I just went for my 40th birthday and had the pleasure of having Bryan Babcock take us into the Barrel Room for a tasting. It was SUCH a treat. Bryan is just out of this world knowledgeable, with so much experience making wine in the Valley - and a cool guy all around. It gave us all a deeper appreciation for the winemaking process and all of the hard work and detail that goes into it.
We then went into the tasting room and picked out one of the couch areas to sit and enjoy another tasting. Their staff is all exceptional, with not only sharing detail with each pour, but just made us feel like we were right at home.
Their tasting room is a VIBE!! I have never been there without buying some sort of cool jewelry or funky vintage item.
Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just looking to enjoy family/friend time and check out their rad spot, Babcock really does have it all.
Thank you Bryan, Lisa & Christina and all of the staff there for the years and years of great service & exceptional wine. You really have something VERY special there.
Till next time ;)
Xo, Lindsay“

“The service was prompt and friendly. the food was really good. The salsa was tasty but could have had a little more heat. That's just a preference. I had the chili relleno burrito and it was exactly what I hoped it would be.“

“Awesome corned beef sandwich“
“I first visited in 2010 during a Stagecoach wine tour. Jeff and his wine were equally amazing. I joined his club that day and remain a member today.
We have since returned several times for tastings and visiting with the horses on his ranch. Each visit has been exceptional. This week we spent a night in the guest house, which is available for rent. The accommodations were excellent, and only overshadowed by Jeff and Joanne's hospitality and generosity. Jeff spent hours riding with my daughter and providing her with invaluable education and training.
If you are considering a wine tasting in Buellton or Solvang, you should go on a tour with Stagecoach and request a visit to Bella Cavalli. If you are looking for a great place to stay in the area, I cannot recommend Bella Cavalli more strongly.“

“This is a really great local establishment.l under new, fantastic management. Raul really has some great tasting food on hand here, and I recommend all the locals and tourists alike come in for dinner or lunch. There’s no hard liquor, but the agave wine is great and well worth a taste.
It’s a revitalized Mexican spot, with tastes from all around Mexico. Give it a try.“

“Good California salmon tempura roll (five)
California roll regular (eight)
The calamari tempura is good but the sauce is not to the taste
Ramen is edible, but it’s not Japanese ramen. It tastes like Korean ramen.“
