Santa Barbara Wine Collective

Casual wine pairings showcasing regional wines from the area.

Our server was a professional sommellier who gave us a lot of info and guidance during our wine tasting session last June 2024. The food pairing reco was spot on as well.

During the mornings the wine bar also serves as a bakery. The place is tasteful, relaxing, and roomy with a crafted industrial feel.

A great place to unwind and chill with friends and to learn more about the wine culture.

Savannah was AMAZING and gave us such incredible recommendations on wine to take home that we didn't taste based on our thoughts on the flights we tried. A+ service & wines all around <3

Well what a treat! We have walked by a few times and never pulled in. What a mistake that was.An amazing atmosphere, an amazing selection of local wines and to top it off Savanah was a wealth of knowledge and displayed it in such a professional and refreshing way. The cheeses were also fabulous, great job. We will be back and will bring others! Thank you.

Santa Barbara Wine Collective is an absolute gem! Fantastic and modestly priced wines, pleasant ambiance, wonderful staff, and live music on weekends. (Also delicious coffee beverages at Helena Ave Bakery next door!)If I lived in SB, I’d be a regular here. Highly recommended!

Loved this spot. Best BLT I've had in a while. Great wine too

We were there for trivia night.Great fun!

Had a nice private event here. The wait staff was nice, but for how many worked the event, they were not very on top of missing silverware/napkins. Food served with nothing to eat it with repeatedly. An area to improve but a nice overall experience. If you have any hearing issues, it was loud. The live music, combined with the size group we had, as well as background kitchen noise (blender) was a little challenging. Compliments to the chef though! Each dish was lovely. Reviews were only hit or miss on the dessert.

Be sure to check your tab. We were almost double charged for a $95 bottle of sparkling wine and almost paid for someone else's tab, when the check was brought to our table. The wine was good.

First time visit mid-afternoon on a Wednesday. Location is convenient and the outdoor patio is inviting. There were only a few patrons there at the time. We were excited for the opportunity to get to know some smaller labels from the region. Unfortunately, there was no guidance from the staff about the wines they represent. We were left with a menu and told to order at the counter. When we made our tasting choices and received our wine there was still no information. Had we wanted just a wine bar then maybe our visit would have been ok. Unfortunately we were looking to learn more in order to make informed bottle purchases to take home.
