22 Best Wine Bars in Santa Barbara

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

“Great spot for low-key locals.“

“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.“

“Such a welcoming tasting room, beautiful space, delicious line-up of Rose, Red and White wines. And all from Santa Barbara County.

Mickey was pouring for all of us, and educating us about those wines all along the way. Was like a Master Class in Wine Tasting. We will definitely be back.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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! 🍷“

“Kim was awesome and so much fun to hang out and chat with! I had some friends visiting from Japan. And luckily, we stumbled into Jamie Slone's for some wine tasting!

The wines smelled great (I no longer drink). But my friends really enjoyed the wine tasting and atmosphere! My friends also took many pictures 😂🙏

We'll definitely be back to visit!

Thanks for the hospitality, Kim!“
