We did the tour and tasting and it was a wonderful experience definitely recommend. Brett was very knowledgeable about the grapes, vineyards and wine making process. Would recommend the tour and tasting and am hoping to come back during harvest season

What a special spot! A beautiful drive from Santa Barbara. Tom was a wonderful tour guide--he was very knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to answer questions! The vineyards are beautiful and lovely to walk around. Highly recommend the farm tour and tasting--I learned a lot and the vibe was very down to earth.

This is a great place to taste. Good wine, reasonable prices, unpretentious and a great outdoor tasting area. The servers are pleasant, engaging, and down to earth. There’s a great pond area for the kids to explore. Our tasting fees were waived with bottle purchases.

This is definitely on my list of wineries to revisit in the future.

Aaron and Tom are great hosts and wine experts. We had a wonderful experience at this outstanding winery with several options for both Bordeaux and Rhone style wines.

Had a great time on the tour and an even better time sampling the wine

Great service, and a great location to walk around in. The wine was varied and tasty and Tom was great at explaining what was being served.

Great vineyard and tasteful wines. The estate Grenache was a favorite, as well as the Syrah Block Six. The grounds are beautiful and very peaceful (no road noise as it’s a bit off the road). Tom was incredibly informative and personable and was the cherry on top for our visit. We’re already looking forward to visiting again in the future.

Absolutely fantastic winery with beautiful grounds and great wine! Bring snacks ;) or picnic style..

These were taken in November. Now everything is likely green and vibrant.

I love their Syrah.

Beautiful winery and excellent wine tasting experience. Perfect location to bring your lunch and enjoy great wine in a very relaxing, beautiful, and comfortable setting.

All wines were greatly enjoyed, especially the Grenaches and Syrahs; it's very apparent a lot of attention is put into their wines. Wines are also sold at a wide range of price points, which is greatly appreciated.

Our pourer, Juliana, made the visit extra nice due to her knowledge of the wines, the area, and her friendly disposition.

4.5 stars, but I'm rounding up just because they asked if we wanted still or sparking water with our tasting! (I'm a sparking water fan, but that option is offered more often in Europe than in the US, so yay Beckmen!) Besides that, the setting was lovely, with lots of outdoor seating to enjoy the view. Service was also excellent (thanks, Alia!) and the wines were quite nice. Well worth a stop when you are in the region!

Beautiful grounds, nice outdoor table seating and knowledgeable server about their wines.... Had a nice time there this afternoon

2025.01.19 - Off the beaten path, but well worth the detour. A great place to catch a sunset as the outdoor seating has a great view of the ridge line on the other side of the Santa Ynez Valley. There is also a little pond with a deck over the water that a party seemed to be enjoying. The wines were good. We met a couple, professors at UCLA, that had ridden ebikes they rented in Solvang to Beckman and other vineyards in the area.

Very mixed experience… the location is beautiful and makes for a delightful visit. The wine is unremarkable and the tasting price at $30 a head is quite frankly insulting. If you can get a deal or just pop in for a single glass shared between the group worth going.

Fantastic tour of the vineyard by Kip who had so much knowledge about the winemaking process. A cracking day with a very knowledgeable man and the wines were super tasty too! Highly recommend!
