No type of Cali Love here. Lady from the Wine Tasting Room came running after us 12/18/21 3:20pm stating "we took a glass." After yelling at us in front of all the public and making a false accusation, she did not even have the courage to apologize after noticing she was completely wrong. Never visit this place if you are looking for a place with great service, after purchasing couple of bottles. read more

Tried to go in at 5pm on 8/1, Thursday, and they were closed. Was going to use a groupon and had to jerk around with getting a refund; not cool. The website clearly states they are open 2-7. Can't speak to the quality of the wines for obvious reasons- if you really want a quality experience go to toccata or Lucas and Lewellen (same owner), both less than a block away on the same side of the street, for some proper knowledge without any stuffiness. Caliclosed! read more

Skimpy servings, overpriced and low-quality wine, and an incredibly aloof and unhelpful staff (especially when we came back with a leaky wine bottle hoping to replace it). Maybe use some of that excess money you're charging people to source wines that are packaged in bottles that won't leak after 30mins in a sealed bag in the shade. Waste of money. read more

This was the best wine and winery theme all day during our wine tasting day in Solvang last week! The gal who was working was very friendly and willing to work with us on their tasting menu--we aren't interested in red wines and their flight tasting includes 6 tastes, but they only had 4 whites/roses that we were interested in. She said she would pour us 4 tastes and charge us only $10 instead of $15--okie dokie! The wine names, labels, and wine room were all great! All 4 of the wines we tried were DELICIOUS! Definitely the best wines of the day! With all of that said, two reasons for 4 stars instead of 5: 1. Their wines were super expensive. We bought multiple wines that day and the prices were $25-30 MAXIMUM! We fell in love with their sparkling rose wine, but it was $45 per bottle! That is REALLY expensive!...but we bought it anyways because it really was delicious! 2. The wine room was a reasonable size, but 70% of it was blocked off by these 2 strollers and 2 girls who were playing with a baby and had toys scattered everywhere (tacky/messy). I'm not sure who those 2 girls were, but it was kind of a bummer that we couldn't enjoy the entire space- not sure why a baby extravaganza was allowed in a wine tasting room...seemed a little weird and unnecessary TBH. In any case, if back in the area, I would definitely come back to this wine room and have more of their wines! Very good! read more

Amazing place, great music and great wine! Plus a great service, I've been to several bars in Solvang and definitely visiting Cali love again. Girls were great!! Love Amanda and Rochelle! read more

Every pour was a good pour. Chill new age vibe. With glitter that bedazzled the displayed bottles and karaoke that kept the littles singing. An overall excellent experience. Rochelle was helpful and the hotty Totty was a real treat. Step in to taste from vibrant wine for any pallet. read more

Would never come here again. Walked in right at opening at 4:15 and she used a condescending and rude tone about coming in. She kept rolling her eyes when my friend was making a purchase. Did not appreciate her bitchy tone with any of us. Her credit card machine wasn't working and when we offered cash she was condescending again about it. Will never ever go in there again. There are plenty of better wine places with a lot better service. If there was a place for zero stars that is what I would put. read more

We decided to go in for a drink because there was a dj and everyone was having a good time. But the service was not good. It seemed like the whole staff was drunk, very unprofessional and $15 for a glass of wine is ridiculous considering all the wines are too sweet. When I tried closing my tab I couldn't get the woman's attention she was too busy on her phone and another customer noticed I was waiting for a long time and walked over to the bar to get her attention. Overall I could believe how inebriated the staff seemed read more

Me and my boyfriend were coming back home from a weekend in Pismo beach when we decided to stop in Solvang for some wine tasting. We decided to check out a few places when we came across Cali Love. We were interested in it because it was 2 for 1 tasting with the SB County access card. As soon as we walk in we were greeted and the wine was pouring. The cool vibe made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. Everythig was Cali inspired and the decor was so cool (guitar pics everywhere). The workers there did not make us feel pressured to buy anything and we enjoyed the conversation. All the wine there had cool names and awesome graphic designs. Long story short I ended up signing up to become a member. The great part is that it is not a monthly fee, but quarterly. I can't wait to go back with a few of our friends for another tasting! My favorite bubbly wine is called "Stardust" absolutely amazing! read more

Nice little tasting room in Solvang. They've managed to set up a good sized outdoor tasting area. They offer a flight of 4 tastes, and they were all good. read more

I was charged twice for one round of drinks!!! They left my "tab" open without notifying me. When I went to pay for my second round of drinks with a different card they charged me on two different cards for the first round. The red headed woman behind the bar was also rude and condescending when I asked about their drink menu. Don't recommend going here unless you want to get scammed read more

Such amazing service. Rochelle is the sweetest along with the rest of the staff. This is the most lively place in Solvang from its great vibe to its fun music. read more

Was a cute spot but the gentleman at the counter did not acknowledge my husband and I. We walked in in hopes to do some wine tasting and thought ok looks like a cute small spot but we were not greeted just looked and continued with his only one couple sitting there. Now I if this is a business there should be some sort of acknowledgment like a hello can I get you some wine samples something but nope, nothing... We felt so off and out of place thought it was beyond rude, and I'm sure his couple he was enjoying the conversation with would have understood he needed to attend to new customers. Will never go back and will no recommend. read more

This place is great. Even the old guys with a guitar Aaron welcome. And we have a wonderful chamborg. God bless caLi love.

Super cool spot... we came here in the late evening (they close later than other wineries) and had a blast! Staff is super cool and the ambience is awesome. 5 Stars! read more

We had a STELLAR time at Cali Love. We brushed off our fear and participated in the funnest night of karaoke and delicious wine. We were having such a good time that we forgot a bag of purchases there--2 days later, we think to call and Michelle took care of us! Ships tomorrow and safely home to Arizona. We just want to say THANK YOU to a great crew!!! read more

We were very hopeful that we would have a great time at Cali Love's karaoke night on Friday, Jan 25. We were celebrating a friend's birthday and Cali Love was recommended by the owner of their neighbor tasting room, Lucas & Lewellen. We headed there after dinner to sing some karaoke and drink some champagne. We ordered a bottle of champagne and were offered chambongs - so we were excited for a lively and fun night after a day full of somber wine tastings. A friend in our group got into a confrontation with the man handling the karaoke/music after he touched her drink (which we understand now was just to move it out of the way, but nevertheless, a group of girls is wary of men touching drinks). The bartender named Rochelle, told us she was the owner of Cali Love, named Amanda Marsh, but that was untrue, and we found out several days later her name is Rochelle and I believe she is the rude blonde mentioned in some of the other negative reviews. Rochelle asked for my credit card to hold behind the bar for our open tab. Once I was done singing karaoke, Rochelle brought me a receipt to sign and said my friends and I were no longer welcome in her bar and needed to leave (due to the confrontation with her friend). I went to sign the receipt and realized she had overcharged my card for the Cali Love branded hat we had worn while singing (everyone was doing this, not just us). She refused to reimburse my card for the hat. I did not take the hat and I've since disputed the charge with my bank. The icing on the cake was when she called us "drunk dumb tourists" and slammed the door in our faces. If you're not local to Solvang, or if you're looking for a fun time, stay far far away from this tasting room. They appear to cater to a fun and lively crowd, but in fact per their employee's behavior are not interested in those types of patrons. And, quite literally, even if you are local to Solvang and just looking to taste the wine, there is much better wine to be found practically anywhere else. read more

Had the best time with these ladies! Good music, good vibes and wine! Try the chambongs you won't be disappointed! A must stop in Solvang !

This was our least favorite wine tasting experience this weekend. Normally I would let it slide that the wine wasn't very good but in addition to that the person helping us tried to rip us off when we went to check out. I was told it was his first day but then his inability to do math was just annoying as he insisted on trying to overcharge us even after he had me speak to his manager over the phone. Please don't have someone checking people out that is not properly trained. Also, he didn't know anything about the wine he was serving. If you want to head to a "bar" and be served wine this is the place for you. Otherwise I would go somewhere else. read more

Love this place! Best customer service and atmosphere. Friendly staff, so welcoming and fun. Been coming here for years, will definitely be back! read more

I absolutely love Cali Love! We made reservations in advanced due to covid restrictions and had zero issues. When we arrived our table was ready. The guest ahead of us were a little unhappy because they couldn't get seated for a tasting. Unfortunately they left a bad review. Reservations are key during these times and I hate that this establishment received a negative review because these people were unprepared with zero reservation. Anyways, the owner is lovely and her number one priority is showing her guest a wonderful time . We visit at least once a year from Los Angles and will be back again soon read more

My husband and I came to this place last weekend, it is very cute and girly. I love the sparkly wine bottles the owner had! We did the flights to taste and our absolute favorite was the Hot Mulled Cidar and the Sparkling wine. Our only regret was not taking some home!! Its a cute, fun little place to go visit if you are in Solvang! read more

Agreed with the review posted by Andrew few weeks ago. This place seems out of place and decided to give it a try. Owner was very laid back for my liking and the wines were not very good. This place seems more of a dive wine bar. read more

Hmmm. I really wanted to like this place! The decorations really spoke to me! Glitter, girly and wine! The price per glass was a little extreme for what it was. I accidentally ordered rose since their menu said "ganache" but was not red. They said they could not do anything since they rang it up. Hmmm. Not impressed by the pretentious attitudes by the workers, when I tried to be polite and honest. Customer service and prices could be better for a wine tasting place. read more

Just left this place . Very dog friendly!!!!! The most happening place in Solvang. I can't believe this town closes so early. 7p it's a Saturday night!!!??? Any way karaoke fun!! read more

Although we showed up close to closing time, they still accommodated us with great customer service. We will definitely be a regular each time we visit this cute little town. Rochelle & Amanda are very friendly! read more

The women working was drunk... while we were there she gave free champagne bombs to everyone else but my bf and I since we were not friends of hers. The wine was trash and the atmosphere matched that. We were drawn in because it looked like a fun vibe. She gave us no attention because she was engrossed by her ex bf there... read more

This place... I swear..... Is LEGITTT. Love this vibe, love the drinks, good music, and TOM, awesome guy, he's the best, he made it happen. Anyways, check it out for yourself, have fun! read more

Amazing place, amazing staff! Jacob is the best! We cane in and did karaoke, Jacob was able to put up with our group and did a wonderful job! read more

Calliove was mine and my husbands favorite stop in Solvang. We came a year ago when Brad worked there and had a blast. We stopped in again this year and was greeted with "are you even old enough to drink? Such a baby face". Then came the wines. They weren't good. Overly sweet and tasted like they went bad. The owner wasn't super friendly and the other employee that took over for her was texting on her phone the whole time. Wasn't a good experience this time around. Won't be back. read more

2 stars is more than gracious. The only reason for the better rating is for the hostess who took care us. But let's begin... the smell was AWFUL! A mix of cat urine and cinnamon. The cleanliness was subpar and the wine was ok. I get it, it was a tasting room not a full winery with a Somalia but the hostess wasn't even explaining anything about the wines and just pouring. Not my ideal experience for a tasting room. Spend the extra and go one door to the left for a more classy upscale room read more

The loud music club like atmosphere gave me a headache and the wine was even worse. No quality and depth whatsoever almost like they added water to the wine. Nothing stood out to me. I couldn't wait until I was finished with my my flight. And the service...the lady was in and out. Quick to describe the wine and girl bye! This might be a good spot for the newly 21 year old who wants to feel sophisticated and get trashed off of their subpar wine. read more

Went there to see a band play and dance last night. Fun times and a cool little tasting room.

We stopped here because we heard good music. This was an awful experience. Wine was horrible. Service was fine but I can't imagine how they stay in business! Worst winery in Solvang! Only wine tasting we've been to where there were kids playing on the floor and cartoons on the tv. read more

Fun wine experience! The girls behind the counter were so friendly and helpful! The bottle presentations are very unique! Hidden gem in Solvang! read more

The most unique wine tasting experience! I've never been with the girls and it was such an epic and unforgettable day. Basically spent the whole day there because the wine was so good, the people we met were so fun and the karaoke was a hit. 10/10 recommend! read more

We were recommended this place from another winery that we had stopped by before coming here. It was a most excellent recommendation. The ambience was fun and festive. Lots of musical history. I enjoyed the guitars on display and the decor. Colorful and in the spirit of the holidays. Brad was wonderful! aka the wine guy as he's referred to. So knowledgeable and informative. I loved all his descriptions of the wines. He made us feel right at home. Even rewound the Christmas DVD we were watching. I had a lot of fun here. The wines were all wonderful and I loved the stories behind each of their names. We also tried the wine mould in the crock pot and it was delicious! Tasted like warm apple cider perfect for the chilly wintertimes. read more
