Have tasted here a number of times. Hands down the best Santa Barbara County pinots and chardonnays for my palette. Amazing wine and people here. Definitely worth a visit!

Connor Casey

Incredible and unique Pinot, Chardonnay, Grenache and Gamay. Friendly tasting staff. One of my favorite wineries to visit in the entire state. Top shelf all around.

We’ve always had a great experience at Whitcraft! I think this is the best Chardonnay and Pinot made in the Central Coast!!!!

Great wines and great company. Drake and his staff are full of knowledge and stories. Really an excellent experience. I make a point to stop by every time I’m in Santa Barbara. It’s rare to find someone so talented and passionate about their craft

Brett Baker

Great wine and friendly team! Our favorite spot to taste in town!

Chris Carlson

Great wine great vibes Bacon can walk you through the entire history and network of Santa Barbara winemaking and make the entire experience feel like you are at home (even though we had five children running around). Kid friendly!!! Music on request!!

Ned Taylor

Such a wonderful experience. Bacon took care of me and had some fantastic wines. I’ve been twice and both times were so great. My favorite wines are the ones where there is a connection to the wine making team. Keep it up Team Whitcraft!! Love you guys.

Mark Edwards

The best winery in Santa Barbara. Outstanding Chardonnay, Pinot, and Syrah. Drake took great care of us. A must visit!

Best Pinot’s in Cali 2 blocks away from the most pristine coastline in California?! Drake and the crew run a flawless program.

Oskar Sköld

Amazing wines and the most generous hosts in the business! Can’t recommend it enough.

Had a lovely tasting with Drake. His knowledge of the vineyards he sources from and the soil they’re grown in was awesome to experience. I myself make wine in Napa and this is the only wine club I am part of. The wines are consistently great and the team behind them are awesome. We’ve been back a few times to pick wines up and always have a great time chatting with Bacon. If you like good wine this is a must visit. Also, if you’re at all interested in Mezcal pick Drakes brain on the subject. Very knowledgeable and down to earth dude. Always excited about our next shipments and our next trip down to the area.

Some of the best wine in the county! Bacon & George conduct very well thought out tastings without being pretentious. All of the wine that is being poured is delicious and the unique process Whitcraft uses to produce the wine is extremely interesting to hear about. I couldn’t recommend this spot more!

We had the most amazing tasting and tour at Whitcraft Winery. This is a small producer, and they've recently expanded a bit, which means they have a lovely tasting room now. Chris, their Assistant Wine Maker, provided so much information to us on the area, the terroir, the winemaking philosophy, and did it all through amazing stories and anecdotes. He really brought their wines to life for us, and best of all, their wines really lived up to all that we'd read and heard prior to arriving. He really set us up for the rest of our five days of touring and tasting. We can't thank him enough!
