Crown Point Vineyards Winery •
1733 Fletcher Way, Santa Ynez

“With so many great choices of wineries in the Santa Ynez Valley, it can sometimes be difficult to know where to go for truly great wine. With Crown Point, you can rest assured that you're in good hands! Specializing in what they have designated as "coastal Cabernet", this is one of the few places in the region where you can go and taste truly fantastic Cabs in a beautiful setting. We were taken on an ATV tour to really get the full experience of what this property has to offer and it is well worth it! These guys take winemaking seriously and they are doing their part to be a true standout in an already burgeoning wine region. Well worth a visit and highly recommended!!“

Vincent Vineyards & Winery Wineries • $$

“I have never had a bad experience here. It is perfection. I have been at least 5 times and I live in San Diego. Beautiful, wonderful wine, nice and engaging staff who care deeply about their guests. Stop by whenever you get a chance but always be nice back, tip well, and they may reveal some special secrets about wine country and Santa Barbara in general. Thank you, as always Vincent Vineyards“

Sunstone Winery Wineries • $$
125 N Refugio Rd, Santa Ynez

“Wonderful wine tasting experience! Loved all the wine we tried, if you buy 3 bottles, they waive the tasting fee. They even offered an extra glass of rose that’s not on the tasting menu. You can also purchase a charcuterie & cheese box from any of the wine counter ($30, not on their menu) and there’s a food truck towards the back serving burgers etc.. Wish they open more of their estate for people to walk around than just a courtyard with seats. At least when we went, we were not able to really see the French style building/land/decor.“
