31 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Los Olivos

“Absolutely wonderful! A must visit if you are in the area !“

“Hi I came in a a week or two ago and finally getting around to doing a review . I had the best time and Danielle was the best host, so glad we stopped in and got some red wine . I came in with a few others on the way to a comedy show ...I was performing in. I enjoyed the red wine and am thinking of getting a membership there. I'll be back when I'm in the area, which is regularly.!One of the better places I've been !“

“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.“

“Just had a great experience wine tasting, and I'm in awe. We happen to sit next to the Harmon family at dinner. They were talking about their passion, wine. Turns out they own Terre et Sang, they offered us some of their Syrah wine, it was so good. We told them we would drop by their tasting room. Great place, if you love Syrah, you have to visit. Thank you Fred, I'll never forget your kindness, also Dalita, Duncan, and Theeanna, lounge manager. Can't wait to bring friends to visit.“

“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!“

“Always fantastic here cheers!“

“Lovely coffee shack named after legendary Lefty Frizzell, the first country singer to get a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. He was a big influence on names like Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. Check out his song “Cigarette and Coffee Blues” while you drink your coffee here. ☕️“

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

“This is the E11even tasting room, which is Andrew Murray's second label. While Andrew Murray Vineyards is delicious and has some standouts, we both prefer E11even, and as a bonus - they're more affordable. Becoming a member here also gets you the member perks at Andrew Murray as well. The sauv blanc, petit syrah, petit verdot, and cab franc are all standouts.

Alice usually runs the tasting room solo, and she's awesome. Loads of info and always up for a friendly chat. Well worth stopping by!“

“So many places to choose from. How does one decide which one to go to.

Theoretically one can go to all of them- you need gumption or time or no driving later or a place to stay in LO or a lot of money or all of the above. Coming from far away Dubai, we had to choose one and we chose SoS- and we are glad we did. All the wines were very good- my favourite though was the Gamay. Very light and with an afterthought of a taste.

Alyssa (hope I got the name right) was amazing. Explained all the stuff about the wines. Very well travelled (best of luck traveling to Italy to try out the wines this time).

All wines in neutral oak. Enjoyed ourselves.

Highly recommended.“

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

“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!“

“Beautiful scenery, fabulous wines and charming hosts!“

“Phenomenal wines!. Blake is exceptional and knowledgeable and makes every trip there worthwhile. (They are appointment only.)“

“Try your skills at being wine maker for the day at Artiste! What a fun experience! Enjoyed learning about blending wine. Artiste has a unique approach to wine making starting with creative label artwork. The art defines the wine! I loved every ounce of the experience and was thrilled with Coterie’s second place rating in the blind taste test out of 30+ blends.“

“This is a smaller tasting room, but nicely laid back. Becca loves sharing what she knows about wine and learning about what works for YOU and why. Prolly would have gone home with a few bottles anyway but Becca made the experience even better. Plus they feature plenty of unusual varietals. Malvasia? Never even heard of it!“

“This winery has a small but pretty tasting room in Olivios. The wines were uniformly fabulous (sadly I am a very experienced wine drinker so I know:)). Our small group loved the cabs and the rose also really stood out. We loved the wines so much that we arranged a tour of the vineyard which was stunning, like one would expect in Santa Barbara. Looks like a beautiful spot for an event. Happy canyon is what i recall — it was located a few miles from Olivios. Great wine!“

“It takes a winemaker with true soul to bring the combination of soil, climate, environment, and technology into each release. At Tensley, each bottle holds a narrative of the place from whence it came. I had heard of Tensely--through the grapevine, so to speak--when professing my love for syrahs. My expectations were high. My experience in the tasting room broke free of those preconceived notions to reach new dimensions.
In the Los Olivos tasting room, we were greeted with a smile and an array of bottles. The flagship Colson Canyon offered dark cassis berries and savory olive tapenade on the tongue, with enough hidden spice elements to keep you wondering what will open up in the next sip. Little did I know that winemaker Joey Tensley made more syrahs from the Santa Maria Valley AVA than I had ever dreamed possible. Santa Barbara County is almost an Eden lost and found in terms of its viticulture, with a vast array of microclimates that are suited to hundreds of different varietals. Even more so, the grapes from each particular place hold their own enchanting essence. Each unique offering brought its own balance of sweetness and solidity to the table. From the SBC blend to the vineyard-designated Thompson, all were fit for a king.
Since that tentative first taste of Tensley, I've had the pleasure of meeting multiple members of their winemaking family. Amanda does a fantastic job of running operations in the city of angels (shout-out for introducing me to these fine wines!), just as Sabrina creates a welcoming environment in the LA getaway of Los Olivos. They speak of their coworkers with a heartwarming level of trust and affection that brings out the best in those who are listening. You'll leave the tasting room not only looking forward to the fruits of their labor, but also wanting to be part of their family-fueled collaboration.“

“Great wine, relaxing patio, wonderful service - what more could be asked for! We stopped in with our newborn and dog to taste some of their wines on the patio and had an amazing time! We especially loved the carbonic Pinot Noir, but everything was great. Highly recommend!“

“We had the best Wine Tasting experience ever. The place and vibe are just perfect for friends and family. One thing that is truly remarkable here is their service. I can feel the warmth and hospitality of the owner who is truly kind. I would definitely come back and recommend this winery. Kudos!“

“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.“

“Good hotel and wonderful service“

“Loved the English Cotswold and Tomato sandwich! Came here with my group 3+ times during our weeklong trip b/c everyone loved everything they tried. Wide selection of chips, drinks, salads, and sandwiches (including delicious vegetarian options). Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back for my favorite sammie!

Vegetarian options: Lots of tasty vegetarian sandwich and salad options.“

“Zaca Mesa Winery and the entire team is simply THE BEST! My husband and I got married in October 2024 and toured the venue roughly 2 years prior. Would you believe me if I told you Zaca Mesa was the first and ONLY venue we toured for our wedding? We loved the property and the people SO much that we didn’t need to look any further. We booked it right away! We were beyond satisfied with everything! Tara, the events manager, is an absolute dream to work with. She is so kind, so responsive and very helpful. My wedding planner even told me Tara was her favorite venue coordinator she’s ever worked with! It is truly a magical location and we could not recommend them enough! My guests were raving about how gorgeous the venue was! And the wine! The wine is smooth, delicious, and affordable. We wish we could get married here over and over again! Obsessed!!!!“

“When making your list of wineries to visit when you're in town, don't forget Andrew Murray Vineyards! It's a super relaxed place, which a lot of seating inside and out. I particularly enjoy the outdoor section under the big oak tree. Both times I've visited we had the pleasure of having Thomas as our pourer and he is always excellent. This is a great mix of fantastic ambiance, friendly staff and excellent wine! I particularly enjoy how their tasting menus are a little more expansive than most others, giving you more opportunity to taste a larger variety. They're also very kid friendly here! Inside they have a FREE camera that can take stills, gifs and more that are displayed on the big screen inside but also emailed to you for free. A wonderful keepsake that the kids love.

This has become one of my favorites to visit when in town.“

“Great wine, great cupcakes, great staff!“

“We had a delicious pizza very good, oh, and the wine was superb!“

“We had a great experience this weekend. We only stopped to pick up our shipment but the lady welcomed us and convinced to stay for a tasting. We had a wonderful person help us who was studying for his somelier test and told us about the wine and a recent trip to India.“

“Great food great service!!“

“Perfect stop on shot afternoon for that cold beer“

“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“
