They have a few standout drinks, the peach spritz was great, and two of my friends had never tried mulled wine before, which ended up being perfect for the occasion. Plus, it comes in the cutest cups. The whole place is completely pinked out, super fun vibe. We stayed about 45 minutes, had some drinks, and joined in on karaoke with other guests. One heads-up though, don't request ABBA's "Gimme Gimme," it got turned down. Apparently it's played a lot or not a favorite of the owner. I thought it was a bit odd to refuse a song request that isn't vulgar, especially when people are there supporting the business. That said, I'd still recommend stopping by for the drinks, atmosphere, and overall experience.

You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that energy carries throughout the entire winery. One thing we really appreciated was having the option between dry and sweet wine tastings.

Every wine we tried was excellent, but my personal favorite was the Olallieberry wine, the perfect balance of sweetness with just a little tartness. This wasn't just a wine tasting, it was an experience. Great atmosphere, great wine, and even better company. Definitely a 5-star stop and a place we'll be talking about for a long time.

Even when the live music showed up, we couldn't bring ourselves to stick around because the food and wine were so bad. It's true, we did receive a story with our order. I don't care how good the origin story is if the wine sucks. It tasted like the bottle had been open for way too long (understandable given the lack of business) and the wine wasn't good to begin with so being stale didn't help. We were really there for the popcorn flight, which we had read raving reviews about. It was unimpressive to say the least. We kept expecting the flavors to get better but they only got stronger and more candle / soap like as we sampled. It tasted like the popcorn was doused in essential oils, so strong it was choking us to consume the soggy popcorn. Just brutal. I can't say one good thing about that popcorn. The one star I gave them is for the bow wow bag they gave my pup - it was a little goodie bag of milkbones which he appreciated!

Wonderful Italian blend wine. And very relaxing and stimulating experience with the water features and warming fire pit

The decor is fine.... indoor is pretty but not that large. Outdoor is good but you'd have to weather the elements (too hot or too cold). You really have to like the Santa Ynes valley wines. Otherwise, this won't work for you. It won't have the huge body and big bold hit on the pallette that Nappa wines give you. Otherwise they are OK wines and drinkable. and also the prices are cheaper. Note of caution. Unlike a typical Nappa winery, the cost of tasting does not earn credit or go towards any bottle purchase. I think if you buy 3 or more there is some credit. Also if you have a larger party, they add the 20% gratuity on the gross bill - not on the subtotal. I found out after I paid.

Normally there's at least one wine that I don't care for, but this tasting flight was probably the best I've tried. The location of this winery is on a ranch. It's beautiful, spacious and located next to a horse ranch. What a bonus! I wandered over to the horses and they let me pet them. I absolutely adored them.

If you're a fan of Rhône style wines, this is absolutely a spot worth visiting. In my opinion,…read moreAndrew Murray makes some of the best Syrah in Santa Barbara County. Just a heads up, if you're looking for lighter, more delicate reds, this probably isn't your tasting room. The focus here is definitely on bigger, richer wines, although they also make a fantastic Chardonnay. The property is beautiful, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and overall it was a really enjoyable tasting experience. I'm not sure I'll be joining the wine club, but I'd definitely come back for another visit. My only minor suggestion is that some of the younger Syrahs would benefit from a bit more air before being poured. The current releases are still quite young, and when a bottle has only been open for a few minutes, the wines can come across as more closed than they really are. Given a little time in the glass, they become much more expressive and show a lot more of their character. That small critique aside, the wines are excellent and this is definitely one of the better Rhône focused tasting experiences in the area.
