“I rarely—and I mean rarely—write reviews. Frankly, I think most people who dedicate their time to composing them are trying to find meaning in an otherwise empty life.
But, in this singular case, I felt absolutely obligated to mention what an exceptional place Lofi is.
The experience starts with the people: Craig exceeded every expectation, going well out of his way to accommodate a difficult wine pickup schedule. He didn't just listen; he absorbed our preferences and offered insightful, perfect recommendations. The true measure of their quality is this: I don't even like natural wine, and yet, I am now a member of their club.
In a sea of overpriced, overhyped romcom backdrops masquerading as winemakers, Lofi is a breath of fresh air. They champion unique varietals and deliver something truly distinct while maintaining an incredible price point. This is genuine quality and exceptional value.“
“A Tribute to Grace in downtown Los Alamos is an absolute must-visit if you love great wine and even better hospitality. We stopped in to celebrate our anniversary, and the experience couldn’t have been more special.
Joaquin took such great care of us—he walked us through a tasting flight that was thoughtfully curated and absolutely delicious. Every pour was impressive, but the Grenache Blanc truly stood out as one of the best white wines I’ve ever had.
When we mentioned it was our anniversary, Joaquin went above and beyond and surprised us with complimentary bubbles, which made the experience feel even more memorable and personal. That level of hospitality is rare and so appreciated.
If you're looking for a standout wine tasting experience in Los Alamos, A Tribute to Grace delivers on every level. Can’t wait to come back!“
“We absolutely loved our visit to Pence Winery! Tristan was an exceptional host, providing a wonderful tour of the winery and sharing fascinating insights into the winemaking process while showcasing the beautiful, expansive property.
Of course, the true highlight was the wine—every pour was outstanding. We especially enjoyed the small-batch Pinot Noir and the Chardonnays, both of which were exceptional.
We were so impressed with the entire experience that we joined the wine club and are already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great wine, stunning scenery, and warm hospitality!“
“I've lived in Sonoma, Santa Lucia Highlands & SRH so have tasted more than most & this is one of the most fun tastings I have ever been treated to, exceptional value, would give 6stars if able, highly recommend, thx again Tyler team!“
“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!“
“THIS IS NOT A REVIEW OF ANY OF THE WINES. THIS IS A NOTE TO MELVILLE ABOUT SHIPPING. (as not to falsely give a negative rating, I'm giving this 4 stars)
I received 4 boxes at my office today for some colleagues. Two of the bottles were broken. This is a message to Melville Winery to use better packing equipment when shipping. The plastic bottle shippers used in their packing is not good enough. In the non-broken bottle boxes, you can still hear the plastic shipper and bottle flopping around in the box when it is handled.
I've received hundreds of bottles over the years for colleagues. They are always in the grey PULP wine shippers and have never broken during shipping.
This is the first time I've received plastic shippers and the results speak for themselves.
I'll reach out directly to the company to provide feedback. BUT TO YOU, POTENTIAL CUSTOMER, BE MINDFUL TO MENTION THIS SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ORDER WINE FROM MELVILLE. Enjoy your grapes! :)“
“The most idyllic wine tasting spot! We drove past so many wineries and this one was out of this world - the service and just everything. Super happy about this extraordinary experience! The wines were super tasty as well - highly recommend going there!“
“Sanford Winery in the Lompoc Valley was the highlight of our Santa Maria wine tasting trip and easily our favorite winery we visited.
The setting alone is stunning—tucked privately between rolling hills with wide-open views and vineyards literally about 10 feet away (easy, AMAZING photo spot!). Sitting outside in comfy chairs by the fireplace while a light rain drizzled felt like something out of a movie. It was peaceful, cozy, and incredibly relaxing.
Both the reds and whites were excellent—a rare win across the board. One of the older gentlemen in our group actually makes his own wine and was genuinely impressed by Sanford’s quality, which says a lot. The wines were reasonably priced, and we happily brought two bottles home—the first and last pours from the tasting menu.
The hospitality really stood out. When some of us got cold, they offered us blankets without hesitation. We never felt rushed; they let us take our time and truly enjoy the experience. Even at the end of the day, when they had run out of charcuterie, they gave us a soft close and let us stay a bit late, which made the visit feel warm and unhurried.
This was our first visit, but it definitely won’t be our last. Between the privacy, the views, the quality wine, and the thoughtful service, Sanford made our vacation feel extra special. We will absolutely be back.“
“Larry at Dierberg Star Lane Vineyards knows how to make a tasting unforgettable 🍷✨ From Missouri to California pours, every sip was a story worth savoring.“
“We enjoyed the better part of an afternoon visiting Tomi Cellars. We had the pleasure of spending time with one of the vintners, Boyd. He is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about his craft. The wines were excellent and well balanced. This boutique winery is definitely worth a visit!“
“Hands down, my favorite producer of wine“
“We chose Babcock Winery after reviewing the website. Our visit was everything we hoped for - a relaxing, casual and informative wine tasting experience. Jason, friendly and knowledgeable, poured the wine while offering facts about the origin of the fruit and the wine makers approach for each wine in the flight. The winery has a large indoor area and comfortable seating. We opted for one of the outdoor shady patio spaces where we could sip and enjoy snacks from home. A bonus was the company of the black winery cat. Two favorites were selected for purchase before we left Babcock Winery, the 2023 Radical Pinot Noir and the 2023 Top Cream Chardonnay.“
“Amazing winery, with amazing views and nature. We booked in advanced, and the tour guide(Alex) was amazing, he went in depth about all the processes and the way the wineries operate. He answered so many questions that I had, since it was my first winery tour and tasting experience, he was also very knowledgeable. The food prepared by chef Julie was amazing. They also knew it was my wife’s birthday and included little treats and gifts for us along the way. Oh and also they are baby friendly which was a relief! The price might be steep but in our opinion it’s well worth it.“
“One of our favorite wineries in the area. Alexis, Logan, and the rest of the staff are always very helpful and generous with the pours :-) The setting is gorgeous. Perfect to bring a picnic lunch and sit at the tables on their outdoor patio, overlooking the vineyards. They often have live music on weekends. Love the Beton Blanc.“
“Great experience for our first stop in Buellton! Matt was a wealth of knowledge and makes great wines! We had a great time and appreciated the tips he shared with us. He was spot on!!“
“Such a nice place! Bring your own food or snacks, have a seat outside and get a great wine tasting and/or bottled of your choice. Play some cornhole if you want (aiming get‘s better after some wine) and enjoy a pleasant afternoon! Tasting includes five good wines… - thumbs up!“

“We came here after visiting another winery in the morning. The food was great. Beautiful outdoor seating! Our wine tasting person was named Cheryl. She was fantastic! It was a really great experience!“
“Phenomenal wines!. Blake is exceptional and knowledgeable and makes every trip there worthwhile. (They are appointment only.)“
“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.“
“In this very small, unassuming building is the tasting room for one of the Pinot Noir Mount Rushmore winemakers. You can taste Ken Brown’s 50+ years of experience in every glass. Do NOT overlooking this tasting room on your next wine country tour if you’re a Pinot fan.“
“Definitely worth a visit to see the amazing wine caves, then stay for the great wine!“
“Always a pleasure to drive up, see the beautiful area and pick up my delicious, bold red wine! Plus a few more outstanding ones!“
“Spectacular architecture combined with perfect hospitality resulting in a beautiful experience.
The wines are fantastic, especially the “cool climate” Syrah and Grenache”! Our host and proprietor, Pierre is both meticulous and passionate about his project and it shows; unforgettable experience.“
“Fantastic experience, Danica was an excellent host. They will tailor to/help with finding wines you like. If you’re in the Santa Maria, this stop is well worth your time. We had a blast. Tasting fee of $25 or $35. A great value in my opinion
They took us through a range of different chardonnays and Pinot noirs. We liked every single one of them. Beautiful facility too, with a good view.“
“My husband and I came down for a visit to Santa Barbara from Sonoma. We wanted to experience Santa Barbara’s wines ( made famous by the movie “ Sideways” ) We’re used to exceptional wine produced in our Sonoma valley. Rivahill was a pleasant surprise! I could tell from the outside of their tasting room with their logo and the way the wine was displayed so beautifully, it had to be good ( I was right!) they mainly focus on Rhône varietals. Each crisp, refreshing, and full of fruit and not too heavy ( their Syrah 2016 is exceptional! As are all of their wines!) to summarize, run don’t walk! to Rivahill where you will be made to feel welcome and where you can experience exceptional wines ( yes even by our Valley of The Moon/ Sonoma standards!)“
“Delightful and very informative private wine tasting! While we toured four wineries, this is the one where most wine purchases were made. Thoroughly and consistently great wines. The owner gave us detailed information on each of her wines and gave us her personal perspective on each. Highly recommended!!“
“Beautiful scenery, fabulous wines and charming hosts!“
“One of the employees, I think his name was T, greeted me with enthusiasm and was super kind, he helped me choose my favorite wine and when I was done, he helped me carry my stuff to the car. He was super handsome and I will definitely be coming again (hopefully T will be there🫣). I couldn’t recommend this place more! 5 stars out of 5“
“Amazing wine, amazing view, amazing service!!!“
“My husband and I recently visited the tasting room and the hospitality is unmatched! Barbara was so kind! On their website it says reservation only but we were able to walk right in!!
They had two different tasting flights, one that was reds only and another that was a mix of reds and whites. I prefer red wines so I was thankful to see that offered in this area. We ended up getting three different bottles of their reds since we couldn't decide on just one. The prices are very reasonable! They even have a really cute merchandise area that's very well curated. Drinking wine and shopping?! The perfect pair! I'll be visiting again very soon! If you site on the patio, there are beautiful views of the Santa Ynez valley.“

“What an amazing space and not to mention amazing wine to go with it. Sitting down for an afternoon tasting on the back patio was truly delightful, hands down best place to have a glass of wine or three in Los Alamos! The staff was very helpful and we ended up enjoying the wine so much we took some home...Pinot Noir '14 was definitely a treat.“
