It's the ultimate in a fully functional "backyard retreat" We brought our dog June, in an effort to give her June-cation deux. Recently her big brother Jackson had passed and she was left quite distraught. We figured a weekend out with numerous pets and lovers from fellow wine lovers would brighten her day. And boy did it. Montemar was a last minute addition to our schedule. We hadn't even planned on staying the night but did last minute when we found a great hotel deal that included dogs. I had been curious about the Lompoc wine scene for ages and this was the perfect opportunity. Lucky for us it was a quiet Sunday afternoon and June was given free reign of the backyard. We tasted a few flights and then opted to share a bottle of the Grenache blanc Pet Nat - perfect for a balmy Late fall afternoon. We loved the chill vibe here and would recommend to anyone with low energy pets. We can't wait to return and try out more wines and literally just chill and hang. It's such a peaceful environment for that!

I went yesterday for a passport application. Here are few things that are good to know ahead of…read moretime that will probably make your experience easier: 1) If this is a new issue passport you will be required to pay $110.00 (adult) and $80.00 (child). With either personal check or money order. You can not pay with cash or card for this fee. 2) They do pictures at this location for a fee of $10.00 the passport requirements are strict and having the photo done by the person that is going to accept it will save you time. Learn from the person who paid for Walgreens only to be told it wasn't a good enough close up and had to pay another $10.00 in addition to what I already paid Walgreens. 3) If this is is a new issue passport you are required to pay a $35.00 processing fee to this location. You an pay this amount via card, cash, or check and it is paid directly to the City of Lompoc. 4) If you have an old passport that nothing has changed on and it is within 5 years of its exp date you can process your renewal by mail. 5) All forms are available at the Anderson rec center, but you can save time by printing them ahead of time online if you want. 6) If you are applying for a child passport both parents and the minor must be present or you must have an approved document from the parent that is not present to state it is ok to apply for the passport for the child. If this is your case I would call ahead of time. Overall it isn't the worst experience... however like most interactions involving government issued ID there is just a lot to know before you go so take these tips and I hope it makes your experience a more positive one.

I've attended three times thus far, for Metalachi, an AC/DC (Colonel Angus) cover band, Red Hot Chili Pepper (Red Hot Tribute) & Pearl Jam (The Faithful) cover bands. Each show was terrific. Not only are the acoustics surprisingly good in this cozy venue, but the staff is outstanding. Whether you're ordering their food, drinks, or checking in at the door, everyone is friendly and helpful. Check their page frequently or find them on social media (Facebook) to see upcoming events. They provide a little something for everyone and if you're staying in the "Santa Rita Hills" for wine tasting and want a little fun after your grueling daytime wine adventure, this might be the place to come to watch some great live entertainment.

I've stayed here twice now, and both occasions were pleasant! I can see this being the pitstop while in neighboring areas! It's one of the three things that's totally worth it about Lompoc (while in passing of course) I love, love Embassy Suites by Hilton! Which provides a separation between the bedroom + bathroom (together) and the kitchen + living room (together)! It's tiny, comfortable and well thought out. (The couch is a pull out). This location has superbe customer service! Employees are very courteous, including the cleaning staff which prompted me to tell Mom that management must treat the workers well because everyone took a lot of pride in their work! Breakfast is provided. Mooom got an omelette which they make fresh and we requested that they use a clean pan and the guy was extremely accommodating and very respectful, he went ahead and cleaned out the pan from the meat remnant and made a delicious omelette for my mom (he did the same thing previously for my entire family when we stayed here before! My younger brother communicated to him in Spanish and he was such a gentlemen about it! My Spanish isn't as good so I asked humbly in English last time we went and he responded with the same grace!) 2-3 fire pits downstairs. Tables and chairs in the garden for snacks and food.
