I love the way it feels here, it's super casual and nicely decorated, it's a cozy vibe. Service was awesome! We couldn't decide on what we wanted so we sampled a few different ones before deciding on our choices. I love the names! Their processing of the ciders are on not on the sweet end. Resting Beach Face - Hibiscus Berry Tea - This was one of the sweeter ones and it was good. It wasn't as sweet as expected. BOT - Blood Orange Tea - this was pretty good, but the blood Orange flavor didn't really stand out. I had originally wanted to try the Apple Pie Cider because it sounds amazing but they didn't have it at the time we were there. Parking can be limited. The night we were there, they had a taco truck. Super convenient! Recommended!

Plus they always have a rotating list of ciders. Great to see what's on tap every time I visit! When visiting this cidery they sometimes have entertainment. We visited on a Saturday night and were treated by a guitarist. He entertained us for several hours with a smile. Plus we always appreciate the games available! This cidery is hidden a bit. Located in Goleta in an industrial park behind a paint store. Sign on the street leads the path to the Santa Barbara Cider Company.

They have a nice back area with a nice outdoor patio. A great place to chill and enjoy your drinks. Service here was pretty good when you order and she did come by to take our trash from our food order. Wild flower-Standard almost like neutral white wine Rare earth- feels like a nice warmed baked good in a drink with the cinnamon and spice. Sierra madre- has that quality aged wine flavor. Milk and honey had that creamy sweetness (not overly sweet) High and dry reminds me of a white wine with the crisp apple notes Kombucha here is not sour.

How time flies.....Its has been wonderful to see this location grow with the diversity of their offerings and the quality of their products. I am a traditionist with it comes to ciders so I like it dry and apply forward- but I branched out this time, at the suggestion of the employee, and was surprised to find out that I can enjoy mead and Kombucha just as much. At Apiary, they offered some non sweet mead and Kombucha drinks. The flavors of the offering were spot on and not fake tasting due to the natural ingredients. The Apiary is definitely worth a visit to kick back and relax with a good drink....

This is a family owned/operated wine and beer tasting room located in Carpinteria, with their vineyards located on nearby Rincon Mountain and in Paso Robles. Cool vibe entry area, with a large, garage-like back room and outdoor tasting areas. Parking available both on street and in a private lot in back. WINES: We were fortunate to have Jill, co-owner with her husband Edward, pour for us and the service was excellent. We tried 5 wines from the tasting menu, a '22 Storytime Rosè, '22 Susie Q (white Rhone blend), 2020 Dusty Vinyl (Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre red blend), '19 Tempranillo, and a '19 Monk (Bordeaux red blend). In addition, Jill also poured us a '22 Syrah. Again, all the wines were well-made and flavorful. We took advantage of the waived tasting fee and took several bottles home with us. You can also purchase wines by the glass or enjoy a bottle onsite. BEER: New since our last visit, Jill and Edward decided to brew beer, so we also decided to share a tasting. All ingredients are grown on their property and they're currently pouring a Lu Lu Lager, a Monk's Ration (Belgian Ale), and a Sal's Stout. The pours are generous and easily enough for two people to share a tasting. We're not huge beer fans, but these, especially the lager and the ale, were so refreshing and full of flavor. They're sold in 750ml bottles, and we took a couple of these home as well. I highly recommend a visit to Rincon Mountain Winery's tasting room. You won't be disappointed!

I love checking out new wineries I haven't been to, and came across this one on Tik Tok. There's ample parking here with other small businesses in this little plaza. Such as Captain Fatty's Brewery and Green Star coffee. The winery itself is located around the corner once you drive in. Look for the signage directing you towards the back. They have a nice outdoor patio area, but I chose to sit inside on my visit. I was the only person there most likely because it was a weekday. I decided to do a tasting of the reds. It was $30, which seemed a little high but the wine is from the Santa Rita Hills region. Anyone who knows about STA. is aware that they have the best Pinots. I enjoyed each tasting and Julie was really good at explaining each pour. The Pinot and Syrah/Grenache/Mourvèdre were my favorites. I also appreciate that I didn't get a headache after sampling the wines. That's a huge plus! Overall, I had a nice experience here. I would love to come back and try their wine specials and listen to live music on a Sunday Funday afternoon.

We visited this wine tasting room on 05/23/2026 at about noon…read more It was a lovely day, a bit overcast and the temperature was perfect. This tasting room has an outdoor deck on the Stearn's Wharf, with a great view of the water and the surrounding area. This outdoor deck is actually open to the public, so you don't have to buy wine -- but why wouldn't you? We were met by a very friendly person at the counter, who opened our tab and started us off with the first of our five tastings. You just had to make a quick trip up to the counter, to get your next one. It got progressively busier as the time went on; however, they were prepared with a second person as it got busier. Overall, this was a great afternoon. You can choose from an all red tasting, or a mixed tasting. We had one of each! I would definitely come back here again in the future.

The music is super chill and the wine is incredible. Moderately priced I always say. We got the signature wine tasting package which came with 5 pours.

So the service can handle a crowd. It was clean. The vibe was right, the wine was good, And the service was impeccable.

Our servers Alex and Kayla were exceptional at both suggesting some delicious lunch items, and also giving a rundown on their different wine tastings. They gave us some helpful information on the assorted varietals and vintages as well. We went in specifically for their M5 and Riviera Rose, but discovered their extensive selection of other varietals and vintages. Came away with some new favorites: Sauvignon Blanc, Trois Blondes (a delicious white blend), Viognier, Mourvedre, and Estate Syrah. Perfect that they open at noon for lunch. We paired our wines with their Santa Barbara Smokehouse Salmon, Smoked Duck and Arugula Salad, Chicken Pesto Sandwich, and Sausage Mushroom & Carmelized Onion Pizza. Still so much on their menu to enjoy.

I'm giving this place 3 stars because of the efforts of one server to keep things afloat outside…read more When we arrived, another large party had just left outside and she immediately cleaned one of their tables so we could sit. It was chilly so she tried to light the heat lamp at my request but both that one and the replacement did not work. The replacement actually had the propane disconnected so I assume someone knew that tank needed to be changed out but didn't do it. The other tables from the large party were full of wine glasses and a half eaten pizza. Those sat there for over an hour, and we watched several groups of people come but leave without being seated because no server was available yo seat them and the only open table hadn't been cleared. When it was finally cleared, one guest at a near by table commented that the pizza shouldn't go to waste. The girl who cleared the table initially carried it inside but came right back out with it and served it to that guest whose kid ate it. I'm all for not wasting food and if the guest had gotten up and grabbed the pizza himself, that would be one thing... but to serve old food that had been sitting out for a long time to a guest is a no no for a business. We otherwise enjoyed most of the wines in our tasting flight. Would've given 5 stars if service had been more timely, tables cleared and old food not served up.
