Great wine tasting! You certainly need to schedule the trip and book ahead, but our host Summer was really friendly and knowledgeable, and the wines were very interesting. The architecture of the place adds a cachet to the ambiance. We will come back !
Had a top notch experience here with the tour and tasting. We have traveled to many wineries around the world and are very impressed with the production and quality at Brave & Maiden. Our guide was very knowledgeable and thorough and we highly recommend any serious wine drinkers to come visit here!
Chris was fantastic for the wine tasting experience! What a place!
What a wonderful property to sit and enjoy wine among friends. when we arrived the tastings were already poured out for us. we had a lovely time with the host Summer, and we sat on the patio for a while soaking in the beautiful sun and sea breeze. I cannot wait to go back !
Phillip is amazing! We had such an amazing tasting with him. His presence is truly magical. We will be back!!
They're so desperate to sell you their overpriced wine that they'll just ignore you when you tell them you want to cancel your order.I spoke to someone on the phone on the same day I placed an order, and told them I want to cancel my order. They confirmed. Then I emailed twice to get written confirmation. Two weeks later I get a shipment from them of the wine order that I cancelled.No worries, I'll be sending the wine back (if I can) and reporting the transaction as fraudulent.They need to do much, much better. Very sad.
This was one of the most special things I've ever done with my family on vacation. The estate itself is breathtaking and the wines are stellar. Diana was a wonderful host - she was knowledgeable and was clearly personally invested in making the experience fun for our whole group. This is a memory we'll certainly never forget!
Beautiful winery with absolutely fantastic wines! 100% recommended!
Great wine. Amazing service (Thank you Chris). & stunning property.This is Top 10 in the area & you are missing out by not visiting. We joined the wine club today (Milke) & can’t wait to return!
One of the best tastings I’ve been to. The gentleman who led our tour and tasting was very knowledgeable and very polite. The wines were delicious and they ordered a beautiful cheese tray for us. The space was gorgeous with great lighting and the landscaping was top notch. It was worth every penny. So far one of the best wineries in the Santa Ynez valley.

My wife and I made an appointment in the middle of August. From the start to finish this was one of the best tastings we have both done. Plan at least an hour plus for your tasting. We ordered a cheese plate and it was a great compliment to the wine. As others have mentioned the winery is beautiful and the wine equally exceptional.
If you are an impersonal troll who doesn't want to sit one-on-one with a rep and chat about the amazing stuff they have to offer, this place isn't for you. If you want to eat and drink by yourself, just stay home with your box of wine - like a weirdo. This place rocks and is worth every cent!
A pricey private tasting experience with a very knowledgeable member of the staff. We were treated so nicely, greeted at the door, a custom menu printed with our name, and some ice cold water on a very hot morning. The setting is idyllic and was very tranquil. Wines are excellent, but it's really the overall experience that justifies the price tag.
Absolutely the most memorable vineyard experience ever!
Proposed to my no fiancé here last weekend and could not have had a better experience! Phil was my contact at winery and he went above and beyond. Can not thank him enough. Not only did Phil set up a perfect proposal, but his service after the fact was even better. Brave & Maiden now has a special place in our hearts and we will definitely be back.Setting: 10/10Service: 10/10Wine: Absolutely delicious but cannot provide an official score given the obvious distraction of just getting engaged.
