Epiphany Cellars and The Bubble Shack are under the Fess Parker umbrella. We whiled away a lovely afternoon in their welcoming, comfortable and relaxing outdoor area. (Knowing that back home in North Carolina temps were below freezing made the experience that much sweeter). I did the sparkling wine tasting, which was very enjoyable. The Blanc de Blanc was my favorite but they were all good. read more

We initially visited in March. At that time, the service was excellent and we were made to feel welcome by Kris, so we decided to join. We were told we could taste at Epiphany, Fess Parker, or Fess Parker funk zone in Santa Barbara. Our next visit was in April to their Santa Barbara funk zone location. It was a windy day so we had to sit indoors. It was semi busy but we were able to get seats at the bar. That's where it started to go downhill. The gentleman at the bar was quite arrogant and basically told us we could only taste a select few wines, unless we wanted to 'upgrade' and pay an additional fee. Never have I had to 'Upgrade' a tasting at a winery I was a member of. It did not give us a very welcoming feeling. We ended up buying a few bottles, as did our friends, but the experience did not make us want to return. Our next visit in June was again to Epiphany. We arrived at about 4:10 and the young man at the counter said he could not serve us a flight as it was too late. I mentioned that we were members and he did give us 2 pours and gave us our shipment. Again, a very unwelcoming feeling overall. We did not feel like members typically feel. Not sure if we will bother to go to Fess Parker or just cancel our membership. read more

Loving the seating/lounge area. Such a chill place to sit and have a glass of wine or a tasting. I chose the 25th Anniversary Wine Flight sticking to the red wines. Our server was very nice and did not rush us through the tastings. She let us enjoy the afternoon and the incredible weather. The wines were very good. I recommend a visit to Epiphany! read more

A return visit to Epiphany for some, but new to some on our girls' wine weekend with a full day in Los Olivios. This time I tried the sparkling flight. I am now a true fan of their Blanc de Blanc! Great server who gave us so much education! We loved sitting outside again on their trademark orange couches. My first time in this area at Christmas time and the town businesses decorate with a wonderful Cali vibe. read more

Epiphany Cellars - Girls' wine weekend - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Los Olivos, California

If I could give 10 starts I would!!! I came to this winery with family and Stephanie who manages the location and more... was amazing. I recently came back and brought business folks with me and it was like she never forgot my face! She recommended the best tasting wines even some out of my original palette. She truly knows her stuff. They have a beautiful venue in the back but more importantly you feel like family when you are here. This is always my favorite place to visit and have a good wine. A forever client! Thanks Stephanie! read more

It's been a long while since we last came here. Then no of us were members. Fast forward to this time, Two of our friends were members. We didn't have a reservation when we arrived. It was probably around 3:30 when we walked in and checked in with the hostess. As there was four of us, we asked if a table outside was available. There was plenty open tables but was told that none was available as they were reserved. But we could have a seat inside. At this point, we opted for it. It took a while for someone to actually come over to help us out. Kind of looked around to see who was working the room. After a bit, someone finally came over and did the first pour. Told them we we're members and went with the one that was offered. Honestly, service wasn't as great compared to other wineries we've visited. Kind of sat around waiting for someone to come over and pour once we were ready for the next. Don't know if they were short staffed or what. Saturday afternoon, I get people are visiting but service was just wasn't there. And throughout the whole time we were there which was a while, not one other group walked ok for an appointment. And plenty of tables were still open for outside seating. Don't know the reason for not wanting us outside but oh well. Nice place and centrally located in the heart of Los Olivos. Service wasn't worth it. It could be juts our luck but, with members visiting. Could of made an effort. And that's for everyone not juts members. read more

Checked out the stretch of wineries in Los Olivos and woooows epiphany was our fave! Drinks: -we got the classic wine flight and it was delicious! We went to several wineries so we shared the one but each pour was decent, different, and yum! We may try the discovery one next time cause we were impressed with the Syrah on the classic list! Ambiance: -sooooo lovely. I think this is just very my preference but it was so relaxing, people were there with families, there for catch-ups, dressed up, dressed casual, and many brought their own charcuterie set up or snacks (and thinking of the kids this is so nice and makes it comfier). And really loved it! Service: -friendly, informative, prompt, easy to find/check in with, and felt that we could have our own little date time too. Loved it! Overall: Definitely on our list if we're passing through this little stretch. I think I'd be fine with just plopping here with some snacks/food and try out their different flights and wine! Will be back! read more

Such a lovely day sitting at the patio outside and I decided to become a member. The Pinot noir and Rose are so delicious!! read more

Wonderful experience at the 2024 release party. The food was wonderful (catered by First & Oak kitchen food truck). There was an Inspiration white and Rośe tasting bar, a Syrah tasting bar, and a Revolution red tasting bar. The servers and wine tenders were friendly, and everyone was very joyous. We lucked out with perfect weather and delicious wines. The 2022 Grenache Rośe was my personal favorite. Delicate, flavorful, and perfect for a sunny day. The live music was also very enjoyable! I highly recommend this testing room based on the quality of the wine, the gorgeous setting, relaxing atmosphere, and friendly service. read more

SO... We joined the Fess Parker Wine club when we were at the Funk zone location. Decided to visit the 2 Fess parker locations in Los olivos the next day. why not?!?! We first went to Fess Parker ... 2nd stop was Epiphany. the setting is outdoor and rustic ...super cute and comfortable. Couches and a large coffee table. We had packed our lunch ahead of time and enjoyed our sandwiches and sides here. (if you're curious...lunch from Metropulos Fine Foods Merchant). We had two wine flight options...hubby and i got one of each and so did our friends. we even were treated to a glass of bubbly at the end! (my fav). everything was amazing. service was great and we even chatted with the people at the next table. the only negative...and you need to know this going into a visit... VERY few businesses in this town have bathrooms....and this is one of those places that do NOT. there are a row of relatively clean porta potty's in the center of town (adjacent to Epiphany). ...so ya...now you know. from what i understand (and i could be wrong)...the town is on septic tanks and the tanks are pretty much maxed out...there is talks of upgrading their systems...but that takes money... we will see what the future holds want to check out the bubble shack next! read more

A little late on the review, but I love Epiphany Cellars. We came here last month for a wine tasting to celebrate a friends 30th birthday. The rosè was amazing! The staff was also super friendly and thorough when explaining each wine! read more

Primarily outdoor seating in casual environment. I give the wine a "b". Good but generally pretty light. Perhaps a better tasting spot for a hot day. Complimentary with a wine club membership from Fess Parker wine club. The main issue here is that there is NO bathroom - what do you do? You have to walk a block to a porta potty - We visited during the holidays and the potties appeared to have not been cleaned in some time and the hand washing station was broken. Unless they provide a bathroom in the future I would be unlikely to recommend. In fact I was a bit shocked by the lack of facilities. read more

Epiphany Cellars - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Los Olivos, California

So this place had more misses than hits. The patio area was nice and nicely spaced so no issues there. The tasting fee seemed to be the same as most wineries in this area. The first white on the tasting menu was crisp, clean, and definitely had citrus notes. Our pourer seemed to be one of two and fell off the face of the earth for a while. She had poured a tasting and then walked off and a bug fell into the glass. I like proteins with my wines but not in that way, but after ten minutes of not tasting and her not coming out, I went in and got the glass changed. The wine was not that good and so this service level continued and we left without buying. read more

What a relaxing and trendy winery! While walking through Los Olivos we came across Epiphany, having heard good things about it and seeing just how inviting it looked, we had to stop in! They had 3 different tasting menus, two of wine and one of bubbles. Each menu had 4 wines so I asked if it was possible to taste 2 bubbly wines and 2 regular. While it isn't something they typically do, our tasting room associate said she would, and I am so appreciative for that! Each wine was brought out one at a time, the first already poured and then the next one poured into the same glass (glass changed when I changed from bubbles to wine). Our tasting room associate was extremely knowledgable on all of the bubbles/wines and told us about their vineyards in the area and where they were located. Really just a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Everyone was friendly, the wines were good, and the place had great vibes. I ended up purchasing a bottle of the syrah-cab blend and look forward to drinking it soon! Important to note that Los Olivos is a very old town with minimal plumbing so there is no restroom on site. There is a bathroom at a church down the street and some portables at the end of the block. The portables are fairly close, but I would recommend using them before you go so you don't have to leave the winery. read more

If you are a wine member at Fess DO NOT COME HERE... even if they entice you to join the membership stating you get complimentary tastings at their bubbly location called Epiphany, just know this is not included. We were very disappointed by this when we came here. It also is misleading on their website that Epiphany is included in their wine membership, yet when we arrived we stated we were wine members and wanting to sit down to enjoy a complimentary bubble tasting and the hostess obliged...yet when it came time for the bill she said it was not included in the membership. We are leaving upset and no longer enticed to come back to either location. read more

Tucked away in Los Olivos, Epiphany is a great place to enjoy a glass of bubbly rosé or have a flight of wine. We started sitting outside but as our group grew and the day got warmer we moved inside. The patio has lots of small seating areas, not great for parties over four, but the staff happily helped us move some of the furniture around. Luckily we were there in a Wednesday so it wasn't too crowded. Inside we sat in the window area, also set up for smaller parties but was an amazing space for our growing party. I loved the sparkling rosé - this is always one of my favorite first stops in Los Olivos! read more

First time in Los Olivos and absolutely loved our time. Kris was so amazing, friendly and accommodating.

After our first trip to epiphany, we immediately signed up for their wine club! We love going back now for tastings, and always come away with a great bottle or two to bring home. It's a lovely place to sit outside and enjoy some wine, and I loved getting to bring the dog to hang out- they even have a doggie bowl for water. This last time we were greeted by Melanie, who is a wonderful host with a sparkling personality! It's hard to not feel welcome when she is the one at the door. We've always had great servers that make it a wonderful experience! read more

Epiphany Cellars - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Los Olivos, California

The boyfriend and I were on a much needed three day / two night adventure to the area. We researched Los Olivos wineries and made Epiphany Cellars the first stop on our trip... after having lunch at the Los Olivos Wine Merchant Cafe, of course. Because it was COVID, reservation were needed, even on a Monday. We sat outside under the beautiful wisteria topped trellis and proceeded with our tastings. The boyfriend chose a flight of reds and I opted for the Bubble Shack flight. The reds weren't particularly my style, more of warm weather fruit like that of Syrahs and Rhone Blends. The boyfriend enjoyed them though. The bubble flight was quite fun and a nice refreshing way to start the trip. They were all quite good, however the red bubbles weren't quite agreeable to my palate. The space to taste was lovely. And the fact that it's in the cutest little one road town makes this a must stop if in the area. We'll definitely be back because the atmosphere is that inviting. read more

Had a pleasant afternoon sipping wine in their outdoor patio. I had a weekday reservation. Called to see if I could come earlier than my time and was lucky to be able to. They also let me stay longer since it wasn't too busy. I was able to order a flight of white wines and sparkling wines. Generous pours and didn't feel rushed. I even bought a few bottles to take home. As this was my only tasting experience in this area, it was strange that they do not have a restroom their customers can use. There are 2 public restroom areas within the town. I don't recommend using the closest portables. Otherwise, staff was pleasant. Not sure if I will visit this area again. read more

I hope they had an epiphany for this review .... it's a rather long one, folks. Brace yourself. It all started with a Google search. My sweet dear fiancé wanted us to go wine tasting since we were spending the weekend in Santa Barbara. This seemed like a safe place to go in terms of the bubbly wines I like ... the atmosphere looked inviting and the service on paper (reviews) was promising.... so where did it go wrong? Arrival. We made reservations prior. We were greeted by the sign that stated reservations recommended, must be 21 and over. Okay .. maybe we missed the memo entirely. We were prepared to be turned away as we had our 4 year old with us. We understand if that's what their establishment is all about ... but to our surprise they didnt. Instead the hostess said "we can do as a 1 time courtesy to allow her in but she must be seated at all times." Okay ... so I felt mixed emotions at this point. Like ... omg that's so great we don't have to leave her in the car or take turns so we can get our drink on.. how kind of them" (slight sarcasm there) But also "oh okay... yeah we'll make sure we glue her to her seat, maybe make her not talk at all and continuously remind her that this is a 21 and over and she didn't make the cut." (Slight sarcasm too folks) Okay okay we're getting to the good stuff now. We were seated. Was told "I'll be right with you,folks!" Did our polite smiles and waited. And boy did we wait. And wait. And waited some more. While we waited we had a chance to look around .... from our seats. Glued our adorable 4 year old with a phone so she can watch her usual paw patrols. And then we waited some more. A few things happened while we waited. 1. A sweet older couple walked in without reservations (omg how dare they!!...) but they genuinely wanted to have a few glasses of wine and maybe lunch. Well... they were turned away. Per the hostess "we are actually getting pretty booked up here in the next few minutes. I can have you guys come back later .... like much later in the day." ** note. It wasn't packed. At all. 2. A another couple walked in.. was seated. Served within minutes. 3. A lady walked in with a bigger party.. also was seated. Served before us. 4. And another couple ... seated further in the back .. was also seated. Served before us. So.. are you all still with me and know where this is going? Finally ... after everyone else was served, it was our turn! Yay! And not by the person that was actually "assigned" to us may I add. But at this point we were already irritated and hurt by this kind of treatment (we have feelings... lots of them) so we just ordered the bubble wine flight. Then finally our originally hostess/server came by she just had to make a comment about "oh wow I'm glad they let her in as a courtesy since this was your first time." Ummmmm. Yeah. Thanks for letting us join this pretentious club of yours! We are just so honored. We were served 5 tastings (don't ask me what they were because she explained it so fast and I wasn't paying attention ... because I was hurt) bleh. Literally all 5 tasted the same. Every. Single. One. I mean they were different colors but it all tastes the same. Nothing special. Very disappointing. Anyway; didn't bother wanting to stick around. The service left a bad taste in our mouth .. the wines too. I love wine. I really do. In fact we are members at a few in Temecula. We just wanted to have a relaxing Sunday. They slightly ruined it for us. ****side notes**** 1. Our 4 what old is actually super sweet and very well behaved so hah! Jokes on them. 2. If you are still reading this and you happen to have children .. or a heart, if you go right across the street (won't name that winery) you'll be more welcomed with open arms ... and cupcakes. Delicious ones I may add. And open safe space for kids to play and run around ... aka VERY FAMILY orientated. They won't make you feel bad for not driving a Tesla .. and no designer bags.. and for having kids. Adorable ones. Catch my drift? read more

I have a mix recommendation for this place! Visited this place yesterday and had a great experience with Raymond! Good vibe and good service. Week back today and experience was completely the opposite. We were sat inside in a corner. Bought a bottle and basically were forgotten about! We had to go and get our own bottle to re-serve ourselves and then ended up at bar to pay for both our bottle and the bottle stoppers we actually pulled out of a container ourselves! The person who took payment did offer us a free bottle stopper and we shared how different our experience was! Will be back but only when we know Raymond is working! We will also sit outside! read more

We had an enthusiastic sommelier here but couldn't get over how tired the place has become since a decade ago. Same sofas never updated from new and now stained and uninviting, construction around the bubble shack, which was closed, still no toilets, hence having to go across the road to a different business, all in all, in decay and neglect. There was a time Epiphany was on par and sometimes better than related Fess Parker in its offerings but with the neighboring Inn now being overpriced and the Epiphany cellars so tired, we did not renew an old club membership. read more

This place is amazing. I enjoy Fess Parker wine, I would rate their vineyard tasting area a 10/10 and their wine QPR at 6-7/10. But their spinoff Epiphany/Bubbleshack discounts/free tasting might make them my favorite wine club. Everything Epiphany makes is delightful and unique, the blanc de blancs and blanc de noir from Fesstivity are absurd QPR for bubbly of that quality. The patio is lovely and there is great food in the area to bring and eat while you do a wine tasting. And lastly, their entire staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful, but Bryce might be our favorite server in all of Los Olivos. He really listens to you when you describe your feelings on each tasting, and comes with impeccable recommendations for other bottles that might interest you based on them. Also, it is a great place for a tired, post hike Husky. read more

I am all about giving credit where credit is due. This isn't it. Nopety nope nope. I brought two friends to this location to have a last minute drink after wine tasting for the day. Yes we arrived 20 mins before closing. We're they closed? No. Not only were the drinks flat but I asked for water as the designated driver and I never got water. My friend was served a flat no bubble champagne for 18$. She had to ask for a replacement drink. Honestly doesn't matter if it's the end of the day or the beginning of the day, no excuse for flat champagne or even worse no water whatsoever for a designated driver. I will not come back nor would I ever suggest anyone coming here. read more

If you love a good Syrah or Petite Sirah this is the place. They really know how to make you feel welcomed, they are all knowledgeable about their wines and Bryce is my favorite person there.

Epiphany Cellars - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Los Olivos, California

Ephiphany Cellars is definitely one of the higher end wine tasting rooms in Beautiful Los Olivos. Before I had even become a wine club member with Epiphany/Fess Parker wineries, one of my previous bosses had told me about how much she loved wines from Epiphany. She highly recommended that I needed to check out their tasting room the next time I went to Los Olivos. Turns out she was right, and I can now honestly speak just as highly about Epiphany just as she did for me. The wine tasting room is small, but can definitely accommodate a few different groups at their indoor tables. Of course their is standing room at their wine bar, but If its a beautiful day outside, I would highly encourage you to sit outside in their outdoor seating area. Staff will come around and bring your tastings directly to you while you converse with your group and enjoy the California sunshine. Their wines are top notch, and I personally enjoy their selection of reds. If you are wandering around Los Olivos are contemplating which tasting room you should try, I would recommend spending the money for one tasting at Epiphany rather than going to two other tasting rooms and getting two mediocre flights of wine elsewhere. There are many perks of being a wine club member here other than just getting complimentary tastings and discounts on their wine. You also can enjoy complimentary tastings at Fess Parker winery up the road, the bubble shack (sparkling wine) next door and discounts at the Fess Parker Inn to name a few. Tip: grab a sandwich at Panino on the corner (a 2-3 minute walk from Epiphany) and eat your sandwich in Epiphany's outdoor seating area while have a flight or a glass wine. You can thank me later. Enjoy! read more

Tasting was fine and thrilled they were able to seat us without reservation. My second time here and had Amy or Emy. Delightful and very sweet. Only one drawback. There is no restroom for guests. That alone would keep me from joining the wine club or perhaps visiting again. How can you charge $25-$30 a person for tasting and NOT have a restroom for guests? Even the Los Olivos Grocery store provides a restroom for their guests. Unacceptable. read more

We chose to stop in for a glass or tasting based on the gorgeous outdoor area they have. Very modern and much cleaner looking compared to what else is in Los Olivos, We were greeted by a friendly very informative lady who explained the wine club etc and made us feel welcomed. We chose a spot in the nice outdoor area. Let me preface this by letting others know. If you spend some time here you will need to use the restroom. They do not have restrooms. You must walk down the street and behind a fence to some absolutely disgusting porta potty's. I witnessed a nice lady come out of one throwing up due to their condition. What a wonderful mood set. Great Ambiance and what you want to experience while wine tasting. So now back to the Winery. One we were seated we were brought a glass and a menu and the pour started. It was not clear what was happening. We did not ask for a tasting but it just started. Not much info was given and we were off. The wines themselves were decent. heavy on the Syrah. Very slow in between the pours. The pace was off and after the portable toilet disaster we made sure to close out our tab as fast as we could and move on down the road. read more

Awesome place. Great atmosphere, great wine and great service. They made our visit for my husband's 40th fantastic!!!!

We were told they stopped tastings at 4:30, it wasn't 4:30 yet, so we were then told they were full.... Unfriendly, bad service.

Love the atmosphere and courtyard! Great for a sunny day. Lots of shade and comfy couches. Very good easy reds that everyone would love. Service is friendly attentive but not intrusive. Would like some soft background music and further descriptions on the wine. We kind of were given the wine and left research on our own. Maybe it depends on who or what day you go? I would go back? I just had better experiences and information at other places read more
