We joined Tyler Winery's wine club last year after visiting the Santa Barbara tasting room. We were…read morein Los Olivos this past weekend and decided to check out the winery while we were in the area, booking a tasting at the Mae Estate Vineyard House. Tyler is a small operation, and tastings are private and by appointment only. I didn't realize they were private private, and was surprised to find we were the only guests during our 1:00 Saturday time slot. We were traveling without our kids, but noted that the set-up was very family friendly. We were hosted by Linda, with assistance from Julian. She welcomed us in with glasses of blanc de blancs and introduced us to the property. The vineyard house was pretty and inviting, apparently founder Justin Tyler Willet's home for a number of years before becoming the winery's hospitality space. We started our visit by going out back and admiring the vineyard, with Linda telling us about the house, the land, what was planted where. The view was marvelous, blue sky and California bounty as far as we could see. The tasting was held in what must have been the old dining room, with a direct view of the grounds outside. It was a lovely space, sunny and comfortable, and Linda and Julian were wonderful hosts. The visit took 75 minutes, as advertised, and was complimentary due to our membership ($50 a head for non-members, totally reasonable for the experience). We did go for the picnic add-on, though, for $25 each, and the light spread tided us over from breakfast to dinner. It was all good stuff, Comté cheese and two kinds of salami, olives and cornichons and sourdough with fancy butter. Tyler specializes in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and every bottle I've had from them has been interesting and delicious. On this visit, we tasted the Mae Estate Chardonnay, the Fiddlestix Pinot Noir, the Mae Estate Pinot Noir, and a more limited Mae Estate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that were maybe single vineyard and named for Justin Tyler Willet's children--all with Linda's expert guidance. An educational tasting, and an outstanding selection of wines. We left with our spring allocation, plus six extra bottles, which Julian packed up for us while we wound down with some nice espressos. We had a splendid time at the Mae Estate, and look forward to coming back. We might even bring our kids next time, let them romp around the idyllic property while Mommy and Daddy drink wine.

They had a dining table area with a nice view of the vineyards. We arrived for a 3pm tasting and by the time we were getting ready to leave the sun was setting behind the distant hills. It was beautiful. The tastings started with the 2020 Mae Estate Vineyard, Chardonnay and ended with the 2020 Sanford & Benedict Vineyard, Pinot Noir. A total of five tastings with an extra tasting of a cabernet. We had a chance to taste the 2019 Happy Canyon Vineyard RSW, Cabernet Sauvignon. We ended up buying a few of the bottles to take home. Our hostess was very knowledgeable and helpful with information regarding all the wines and the history of the winery. I hope to return to the winery soon.

I enjoyed a glass of rose and a snack on the lawn while my husband painted the rows of wine grapes right beside me. We were there in late June, but apparently the fall colors are spectacular. I felt the wine price per glass was reasonable for the quality. The snacks are pricy, but i believe you can bring your own. Cosmos helped us, and he was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about wine and the history of the winery. Thank you, Cosmos, for a perfect afternoon!

Good pours and all the wines were low alcohol. They try and make them as natural as possible and are smaller batches than bigger wineries and labels. Friendly service as well. My only critique are the stools, they were really uncomfortable so sitting there for the whole tasting was not fun. We purchased one bottle and could have maybe purchased a couple others but we opted not to. I will also mention that there was a slight push to try and buy bottles at the end. Stopping short of saying "you should buy some bottles" but a lot of "nudges" and "hints" about buying bottles. We would definitely come back to try other pours.

I'm not one for white wines and I even loved their white varietals, so that should speak volumes! The staff member during our visit was very friendly and had excellent taste in music. The pours were generous as well, more so than a usual wine tasting! It was fun to sip wine and they even let us pick a vinyl to play while we visited. We were so impressed by the wine that we even joined their wine club. I can't wait to receive the first shipment! I'm also already planning our next visit to this tasting room, which is located in an awesome one road town. Located across the street from The Alamo Motel, where we stayed for the weekend, so we just walked across the street for our tasting. It really doesn't get much better than that! I definitely suggest making a trip to this charming wine tasting room and finding out for yourself what a treasure it is.

Stephan, the owner/winemaker, poured for us and provided us with his winemaking history. We tasted three wines, a '20 Chardonnay, a '22 Grenache, and a '22 Tempranillo, with revisits of our favorites. All were good, and we left with a couple bottles to add to our home cellar. He also had a couple friends visiting that brought their guitars and had a little folk music jam session, which created a very relaxing and fun ambiance. The week before our visit, they participated in the annual Mushroom Festival where they poured the same wines, however they had a food menu with several mushroom based items which really caught my eye. Definitely something to add to our calendar in the future. Overall, a pleasant experience and nice wines. Would stop in again to check out new vintages.

Joaquín was a gracious host and poured for us a '23 Grenache Blanc, and several other Grenache reds from various vineyards and produced with varying methods (whole clusters, co-fermentation, etc.) Good aromas and flavors on everything. Enjoyed several enough to take some bottles home with us. Overall, a nice, unique experience and would highly recommend to any Grenache wine fanatics.

The most honest review of Casa Dumetz begins with a warning to AVOID this place at all costs. While…read moreall advertising would suggest this is a friendly, female-focused winery, all staff members our group encountered seemed to be the exact opposite. Our group of 5 all ordered $30 wine tastings where we were not allowed to actually select the wines to taste. When I asked what wines would be included, the server identified several on the menu and unfortunately only half of these ended up being included in the final tasting. As our group began to enjoy our tasting, the staff unexpectedly took our heater away to warm a 2 top table without ever asking our group if we still wanted the heater (we did, it was 50 degrees out). One person in our group brought out a leftover bite of baguette from a previous stop in town and was QUICKLY alerted by the owner with the wag of a finger and note that "they sell food there and she can't bite her own food." The owner waited until my friend put her small bite in her purse before walking away. When checking out, the server told us we'd need to pay via one card only (fine) and proceeded to watch closely as my friend chose her gratuity option (rude). Although we selected a nice 20% tip on the screen prompt, the actual math shook out to a 24% tip without us ever agreeing to it. Short story: - Too expensive - Rude - Performative, white-centric feminism - Not worth visiting when there are so many other great options close by
