8 Best Wineries near Santa Maria

“Hands down, my favorite producer of wine“

“Presqu’ile had been recommended many times and so happy we finally made the trip. The mezze picnic lunch was outstanding (a must have - the chef rotates the seasonal menu about once a month), the wines were delish, and we had excellent service from Tom. Felt like we really got to know the place and the wines on a beautiful afternoon. Plus… Walter Anderson prints inside, harkening to the owners southern heritage! Be sure to plan in advance and make a reservation as it’s popular and books out.“

“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!“

“Such a nice place! Bring your own food or snacks, have a seat outside and get a great wine tasting and/or bottled of your choice. Play some cornhole if you want (aiming get‘s better after some wine) and enjoy a pleasant afternoon! Tasting includes five good wines… - thumbs up!“

“best staff. best owners. great wine.“

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

“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.“

“My husband and I recently visited the tasting room and the hospitality is unmatched! Barbara was so kind! On their website it says reservation only but we were able to walk right in!!

They had two different tasting flights, one that was reds only and another that was a mix of reds and whites. I prefer red wines so I was thankful to see that offered in this area. We ended up getting three different bottles of their reds since we couldn't decide on just one. The prices are very reasonable! They even have a really cute merchandise area that's very well curated. Drinking wine and shopping?! The perfect pair! I'll be visiting again very soon! If you site on the patio, there are beautiful views of the Santa Ynez valley.“
