“This place gets it. First and foremost, best Chardonnay I’ve ever tasted in my life (I’m not even a chard fan typically). The environment they’ve created is so vibey with a beautifully appointed cottage, deck and garden area. Duncan is very knowledgeable and intentional about his craft and you can tell him and his family put their hearts into everything here. Must go!“
“Phenomenal wines!. Blake is exceptional and knowledgeable and makes every trip there worthwhile. (They are appointment only.)“
“Always fantastic here cheers!“
“How do we even begin to express our LOVE for Sunshine and her Future Perfect wines? My partner and I happened in one afternoon while stopping in the area for lunch. As we entered the amazing shop we knew we had found our people. We were greeted with such warmth, but what really blew us away were the WINES! I'm embarrassed to admit we are wine snobs, so tasting the bubbles they were pouring was a shock. They were so delicious! We have basically become super-fans, and stop there every time we are in Los Olivos now. We can't stop talking about Sunshine and her crew. We were lucky enough to be a part of their street fair, and couldn't believe the kindess and warmth of the people in the area. It's a stunning display of how when you love what you do, it shows in your product. Future Perfect for life!“
“Thank you, Tom, for the wonderful vineyard tour and private tasting! Your passion and knowledge are evident in conversation and we appreciated the time you spent with us. We’ll see you again when we pick up our first membership shipment!“
“I've done many wine tastings and this experience really stood out to us. The hospitality was incredible, the patio was charming and nicely shaded and we adored the wines. The small details like serving chips in a shell, and the decor on the inside being collected and well styled, this place just makes you feel good. We will absolutely be back, and the wines never disappoint.“
“The wines are phenomenal, thus why my wife and became members a few years ago. This Gleason Family winery is also a very attractive and amazing facility. The grounds are beautiful, and the tasting room gets you right into the ranch vibe. The staff that work here are by far the reason we love to come. There is a lot of amazing wine in the valley but it is the people wine educators and the rest of the staff that make this place the one you want to come to. The staff here to include Dean, Janet, and a special shout out to our special Susan all make us feel like family. We try and make the drive up whenever we can to visit and see our friends here at Refugio Ranch. Thanks again to all of you for making this place a wonderful spot to spend our weekends. They also have the private Ranch tasting at the vineyard for members which is a very special treat. If you are in the area please come in and visit!“
“Top notch hospitality and some of the best low-intervention wines in California. Brandon was great to talk with and was very knowledgeable about their wines and winemaking process.
Pro Tip: grab pizza next door at Lucky Penny afterwards!“
“Do not miss this place. Cheap tasting for the purpose of tasting before you buy. Next door they sell $25 glasses of wine.
Fun lady taking care of people, the wine is good, it's just a gem in the rough.
Support this kind of wine tasting experience, stop supporting the insane $50-$100 tasting fees.“
“I had a great time last month at Holus Bolus. Amy has an exciting winemaking style that showcases the best of what the Santa Rita Hills can be. It was also great to hear about her experiences making wine and plans for the future of her brand.“
“Toretti’s is a hidden gem with amazing wine. The owner, Pancho, always makes us feel at home and takes the time to get to know his visitors. A relaxed atmosphere makes you feel more like you’re in someone’s home rather than a tasting room. Torreti’s is a must-visit any time I’m in Los Olivos.“
“We enjoyed your wines while visiting from South Carolina.“
“Michael, the wine maker, hosted us, a group of 8, at the vineyard. We sat outside at a long outside table surrounded by the vines and grapes. As we tasted, we also walked around the vines, even got to taste the grapes since it was harvest season. All the wines we tasted were very lovely. We purposed several bottles to take back to Chicago with us. I would highly recommend visiting this beautiful vineyard with gorgeous views located in Los Olivos.“
“If you are visiting Solvang CA, it is worth the short drive to visit this tasting room. We were delighted by our wine steward Izzy, who really took time to answer all of our questions. Her knowledge on the subject was very impressive. We especially enjoyed their Syrahs. We visited in late October and the weather was beautiful.“
“Beautiful scenery, fabulous wines and charming hosts!“
“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!“
“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!“
“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.“
“We became members we enjoyed it so much!“
“Love this place! Had a great experience with friends. That atmosphere is very relaxing. The wine is great!“
“I love coming here in order to taste the wines that Michael and Maureen source from some of the best local wine makers that do not have tasting rooms. It’s a beautiful setting and you get to experience a great selection of wines. Highly recommended!“
“I've driven by here many times, passing Zaca Mesa for other tastings. With a late start and no particular plans, we stopped by later in the afternoon. This winery is an absolute gem. We tried the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir tasting, and thoroughly enjoyed every pour. The tasting room staff were friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. We'll definitely be back here!“
“We’ve been coming here for years and always make it a point to stop by whenever we’re in the area from Texas. The wines are consistently excellent, and the Pinot Noir is always a favorite. It really captures what makes this region so special—beautifully balanced, elegant, and full of character.
What keeps us coming back, though, is the tasting experience. The owners are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about wine. Michael has a great way of sharing insights about the vineyards, winemakers, and the region without ever making it feel overwhelming. Every visit feels both enjoyable and educational.
If you love well-crafted wines and want to learn more about what makes this area unique, this place is definitely worth a visit.“
“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 absolutely love Liquid Farm. Whenever we drive to the area from Los Angeles, we have to make a stop. Jeff, Brian, Anthony, and the rest of the team always make us feel at home when we're there. We even recently hosted our rehearsal dinner there, which was the perfect addition to our wedding weekend. We're so grateful that Liquid Farm was a part of it. Of course, their wines are also amazing, and our guests loved them - especially the White Hill Chardonnay! Highly recommend stopping by next time you're in town!“
“Good hotel and wonderful service“
“Great wine, great cupcakes, great staff!“
“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.“
“We came here and had an excellent time. I can’t say enough good things about Emi. She was incredibly kind, provided excellent service and recommendations, and was such a joy to be around. I highly recommend spending time on their patio and certainly recommend Emi ! Thank you for the wonderful time !“

“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 !“
