28 Best Wine Bars near Montecito

“Excellent wine tasting experience, lots of history . The wine consultant was very friendly. I will come again and reccomend.“

“Exceptional experience in every way! The ambience is gorgeous and the staff professional from the moment you enter. The room is so well appointed and in December the heaters surround you with the sound of the surf outside. The table placement is perfect so they are close enough to make the atmosphere lively while the experience is very private. Our waiter Mauricio was so attentive but never over bearing. And the food.. well every course is beyond perfection. I love abalone which is almost never on the menu and it was a great treat to start. Next up was the carbonera which we wonderful and we were just warming up for the spectacular santa barbara spiny lobster another home run. We upgraded for the cheese cart at the end which was another fabulous experience and fun to have with the port. We were never rushed which is unusual these days and when we were leaving I noticed a young man ironing the table cloths with such precision and care it just reconfirmed for me that every detail no matter how small is attended too with passion and focus. Definitely one of the best restaurants in California and can't wait to return.“

“A very special place. My children went there everyday after school. When they come home now one of their first stops is Wine and Cheese. It was a wonderful event today. Thank you for all you do for this community �“

“Great experience! Had been trying to visit for sometime! Thank you to Carlos, Isabelle and Mike of course! Food was prepared perfectly. The wings are huge and tasty! Fish and chips on point. Branzino was beautiful. Kitchen is talented and dependable. Don't miss this great place down the stairs off the main drag. It's really a gem. Ample parking below.

“Stopped by a few weeks ago to check it out and glad we did! Small place which makes it cozy and intimate. The outside seating is nice too. Service is awesome as well, they really make you feel welcome... We had red wine and porchetta, which is delish!!! highly recommended...and its local!!!“

“Wonderfully situated on State and Mason, The Society presents a wonderful street-side environment in which you may enjoy wine (both in flight and bottle) in which varietals from many a region are offered. And whilst the wine selections are fun and interesting, if you're fortunate enough to be served by Connor - a delightful young man who will treat you as one of his own, the experience will be all the better.

Well worth a stop to imbibe for a lovely afternoon.“

“Came a few days ago and did a mixed tasting flight for $25. Two whites and three reds. Everything was good! We were helped by owner Lenny, who is super personable and friendly! The tasting room is super cute and perfect for enjoying the wines.“

“Great location, service, wine, family friendly, dog friendly and live music what’s not to love ❤️“

“If I could give Gabi and team 10/10 stars I would. They not only knocked our rehearsal dinner and welcome party out of the park but they are the kindest people you will ever meet. They opened up their business to us like it was their home and their food and wine selection shows. My wife and I are forever grateful to the staff for making such a memorable event that everyone came away from incredibly happy“

“Great venue. Wonderful crowd!“

“Attended a rehearsal dinner here last week. Atmosphere was lovely and food was awesome. The best part was the staff- I left behind a very expensive pair of sunglasses and woke up the next morning in a panic when I realized they weren't in my bag. I went back by the restaurant and the nicest lady, Tamara, took my number and said she would reach out to the staff to see if anyone had found them. An hour later, she called and had my sunnies! Lot of integrity with their staff and it made my trip!“

“Our server,Cole R, was awesome-very informed and articulate. Food was amazing-cannot overstate the incredible preparation and presentation of the prime rib!“

“Fantastic experience today at Pali! We shared a carafe and tried some interesting wines. A large variety of wines to suit all tastes and a good atmosphere.
Very friendly staff, shout out to Jennifer who made our experience very special! We will be back!“

“Great spot for low-key locals.“

“We had a fantastic experience at Fox Wine Company. The tasting room is nestled inside the Waterline—a cool, industrial space shared with Topa Topa Brewery, Lama Dog Tap Room, Kiva Cowork, and The Nook Eatery, founded by Master Chef Norbert Guehr. The setup is perfect—guests can enjoy incredible wines and order delicious food from The Nook, which gets delivered right to your table.

A special shoutout to Evett, who made our visit exceptional. He was incredibly informative, professional, and engaging. His knowledge and passion for wine elevated the whole experience, and because of him, we’re already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend! 🍷“

“Nice bar ( take any seat ) order at the counter. Good vibes from the live DJ on the board walk. Delicious Sprizz!“

“We hosted our engagement party at Jamie Slone Wines and had such a great experience. The staff was super friendly and made everything feel easy and relaxed. The wines were amazing, def one of the best we’ve had in Santa Barbara.

The space itself is beautiful and perfect for an event or casual wine tasting with friends. Prices are also really reasonable for the quality. Overall, highly recommend Jamie Slone if you’re looking for one of the best wineries and best wine tastings in the area.“

“Hi mosaic locale I will see you“

“Great value!

Management needs to support their staff more for when they get slammed; they know they're the most reasonably priced place for good quality seafood, and SHOULD expect getting hit.

Hadn't been here in a while. Music didn't seem as noisy.

Left VERY satisfied after having been to the old Beachside couple times. Still also a bummer Enterprise is gone. This place is holding its own.

On point oysters. Shrimp cocktail was money.“

“This was my second visit & it was for a cozy anniversary lunch on a rainy day. I had black bean & rice soup that was just perfect for the day. My partner loved his burger, especially the bun! We took home two huge pieces of carrot cake for the evening. Best we've ever had. We'll be back.“
