11 Best Wineries in Santa Maria

“Hands down, my favorite producer of wine“

“I have had the great fortune of visiting some of the Central Coast’s top vineyards. This one was by far the best experience and in a class by itself. No detail was overlooked — from the wine, to the detailed directions to the vineyard, to the history of the ranch, to the smell of the old cabin — together they made for a simply delightful afternoon. Wes is so very likable and is such an accommodating host. We found the wines to be incredible — knock your socks off Pinots. (But truth be told I found the. Chardonnays even better). We are by no means wine experts, and enjoyed learning from Wes who quite clearly is knowledgeable and loves what he does. If you are looking for something truly special — Native9 will not disappoint… definitely on our short list of wineyards to visit again!“

“The most idyllic wine tasting spot! We drove past so many wineries and this one was out of this world - the service and just everything. Super happy about this extraordinary experience! The wines were super tasty as well - highly recommend going there!“

“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.“

“Had a great time at Presqu'ile Winery in Santa Maria Valley - they really know what they're doing with cool-climate wines. I tried several bottles and they were all solid, especially their Pinot Noirs and some hidden gems I hadn't heard of before. But honestly, their Aligote was the star of the show for me - super crisp and refreshing with this nice mineral taste that just hit the spot.“

“best staff. best owners. great wine.“

“Nothing beats this winery! Their wine is amazing. The scenic view can’t be beat. We have been wine members for years and are never disappointed. We are visiting the Temecula wine country for a wedding and all I want to do is come up to Rancho Sisquoc.“

“Definitely worth a visit to see the amazing wine caves, then stay for the great wine!“

“Cotiere winemaker proprietor Kevin Law makes some of the most compelling wines in Santa Barbara County and their QPR is absolutely outstanding! He also sources from Napa Valley and those wines are extraordinary as well. We had a magnificent tasting at the winery with Kevin and look forward to our visit every time we travel to Santa Barbara.“

“my husband and I started our summer off in a couple of winerys and we finished summer at Adamo Estate Winery🍷 the evening/weather/view was beautiful sitting on the patio. Their menu has changed from visiting a year ago but the suggestions from 1 of their servers was excellent. Friendly knowledgeable great service staff will definitely bring us back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I really like this winery. They are very friendly and generous folks, and they make wide variety of wines, which are quite good and are very reasonably priced, inexpensive by Santa Ynez Valley standards. They're located a bit farther out Foxen Canyon Road than most other wineries, but it's well worth the few extra minutes of driving to get there. Their tasting room is normally open only on weekends, but you can call ahead to make an appointment for a tasting on a weekday.“
