Buscador Wine - Pug approved patio tasting. - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Buellton, California

Oh, man! Go see this buscador (seeker), Matt! I'm so glad he's settled into Buellton, making his exceptional wines and hosting in his whimsical, comfortable tasting room (with plenty of cozy inside and outside shaded seating). A generous tasting of 8+ of his wines is $25, waived with a $40 purchase. Warm and welcoming, super down-to-earth, and so genuine, Matt made the visit a memorable experience. He will chat with you (about the wine, Buellton, surfing, and/or his extensive travels) or leave you be to enjoy. It's super chill. Snacks available - try the smoked Gouda pretzels, yum. My favorite wine was the Xarel-lo, which I learned is the grape used to make Cava. There wasn't a wine of his that I didn't enjoy, and whether reds or whites are your jam, you will be impressed. I'm telling all my Central Coast friends and visitors to put this tasting room on their list. 10 stars! read more

Love these wines, love stopping in to visit. No better club to belong to! We'd be in more if we lived closer but it is definitely an excuse to drive an hour + up the coast on a weekend. Truly can't find a bad wine here and the company is great when you stop in! read more

Fantastic wines and the owner Matt is a very nice guy. He's very approachable and answered all our questions. I joined the wine club and everything has been delicious! read more

Just happened to find this unique winery hidden in an industrial wine complex. Very comfortable outdoor seating and the wine tasting was the best we've ever had. Every single one of the wines were excellent. Matt (owner) is full of experience, knowledge and he took the time share his conversation with us. Even recommended another winery he thought we would enjoy. Can only recommend his establishment to all who seek the best wine experience of all. read more

Amazing place, and we loved the wines. The Gamay and the Tuscan Blend were superb. The owner is great. read more

Buscador Wine - Outside cozy area - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Buellton, California

A little boutique winery with bold flavors and knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend

What an amazing winery. Had a great wine tasting here with the wine maker, Matt, who we really enjoyed talking with. Did a tasting for $25, and tasting fee is waived with a purchase of $40 or more (love when wineries do that). Loved a lot of the wines, but my favorite was the cab franc, so got a bottle of that, and bottles of a couple of white wines. Really cool decor and setting outside, and in - we opted for inside since it was in the low 50s. Definitely recommend and looking forward to coming back next time we're in town! read more

Hidden in plain site gem of a winery!!!! Matt is awesome and produces some awesome wines. We were so lucky to find out about this place when we first drove up from camping in Santa Barbara. The wines were so good we had joined their wine club which on this trip we picked up our selection at the wine club appreciation day. Matt put on one great party and we were lucky to meet several people and taste some of Matt's great wines. This being our first of several wine club events was N awesome experience. He went as far and hiring out a wood fired pizza to supply some awesome made to order pizza's. If you are in Bulletin and happen to look at Yelp for places to visit, there's a reason this one is number one on the list!!!!! Cheers read more

We stopped in on a recent trip to Buellton. Matt was awesome. He knew about his wines and answered all of my odd questions. The passion for wine comes out when he talks about his product. We ended up buying a couple of bottles and joining the wine club. We had the luminecent white wine. Delicious!!! We got a fruity green apple on the front and ended with a carmel after. We just drank a bottle of the 2019 cabernet sauvignon. I could drink that day in and day out. Definitely stop in and try their wines. I highly recommend it. read more

My mother and I stopped by this past weekend to pass some time before we had to meet some friends for dinner. This place is in the corner of a plaza where there are other wineries. It seems to have a lot of competition in the area, but this place had a cool vibe to it. They had excellent wines and the pricing was good as well. The only negative comments that I have about this business was that they do not offer any food options and the man, who was running the place at the time, did not seem like the most patient, or friendly guy. read more

Found Buscador courtesy of Yelp. So happy we found this hidden gem. The tasting room has an unpretentious vibe, very relaxed and intimate. We were welcomed by Matt the owner/ wine maker. Really enjoy a wine tasting experience where you get to learn about the wines from the wine maker. Listening to Matt, you can really here his passion for wine making. The entire wine flight we got to taste was amazing. I had some many favorites, but decided to take home a bottle of Merlot. That surprised me because I never buy Merlot, but this one was classic and memorable. Also really enjoyed the Cab Franc as well. When you want an intimate wine tasting experience with delicious wines, make sure you visit Buscador read more

I can't say enough good things! My husband and I stopped in after a hike with no idea what to expect. We ended up having a great time. A tasting flight is $20 and includes seven wines. We liked everything we tried and ended up leaving with four bottles. The winemaker, and owner, Matt is a really cool guy with great stories. As the afternoon went on, a bunch of people showed up that Matt knew by name and you could tell this is a spot that locals love. We'll definitely come back the next time we're in the area. read more

As much as I enjoyed the wines next door at McClain's ...I really enjoyed Buscador and felt like I was on holiday in Spain. Yes, that's the beauty of a good wine tasting where you forget where you are and what you are doing and you find yourself just going there! The tastings were delicious but as I had paraglided to Spain, don't ask me what I actually tasted but I did buy a bottle of big Merlot...and have already polished it off with dinner last week. Yes, I will have to come back for MORE....and hopefully, transport myself back to SPAIN! The winemaker, JIM, (I think) or was it JUAN...no, JUAN, was in SPAIN...did the pour and we talked shop, etc...IT WAS FUN! read more

Had a great visit to buscador. Carolyn was extremely kind to our large group. She was super accommodating and personable. We started off with the rose which was a fan favorite. The Malbec was fantastic and I tend not to be a Malbec fan. Overall, I loved the tasting room and it was really nice that we were allowed to bring in our own food, THANK YOU! i will definitely recommend to friends and come visit again soon! read more

This place has a great small atmosphere and the maps and decor are phenomenal. The wine maker was friendly and held great conversation. I liked the whites but wasn't a big fan of the reds due to their high tannins. They were a bit richer and chewier than I tend to like. However, the rest of my party quite liked them and were especially excited by the offering of Mourvèdre. read more

Wonderful wines! We visited for the first time on Sunday. The owner was so nice and gracious. We are not big white wine drinkers, but loved the rose and white wine blend. The reds were what really sold us. They were consistent across the board, all varietals were excellent. Definitely make this a stop if you are in Buellton. read more

This place was recommended to me by Ken Brown and it was definitely worth the stop. It's a local guy with the true passion. It's a nice chill space that has a more casual and relaxed vibe. I ended up buying the The Pinot Noir which was amazing l. I also purchased the Rose which I don't believe is released yet, but it was too good to pass up I had to grab a bottle! There's a nice large parking lot with a few other tasting rooms. It's on the left side of industrial away. If you want to swing over to Figerora Mountain Brewery after it's right across the street. And there's great food across the street as well! It's a dog friendly place that's worth the stop! read more

Wines are so good here. My hubby loved the Chenin Blanc and Cab. I loved them all, but Grenache Blanc, Cab and Cab Franc were my faves, if I HAD to pick. Great tasting room space with outdoor space. OK for kids too! Low key environment with really good wine and service. read more

I stopped in this week and was fortunate to sit with the winemaker for about an hour, the wines were great and Matt is an awesome individual. He is really open minded about experimenting with multiple varietals and it sounds like the sky is the limit for his future. I was able to learn a lot about winemaking including a lot of the challenges, but he also shared a lot of information that really helped me get the most out of my road trip. Thank you so much, Matt. read more

Very inviting environment in this tasting room. The owner/ bartender/ wine maker was very social and made us feel comfortable, especially since we are kind of new to wine tasting. I'm the kind of person who will enjoy an establishment even with lower quality food/ drink if the customer service is good, luckily the wine was very good here as well. We bought two bottles of the Chenin Blanc after our wine tasting. Overall very pleased, we will certainly be back to this tasting room. read more

Buscador is amazing! The owner, Matt, is incredibly hospitable and takes time with every group that stops into his quaint and unique tasting room. Be prepared to be impressed!
