    Wine tasting!
    Alex K.

    Awesome place with amazing service! We had the best time wine tasting here, Lamar was our server and he made our experience super special he had great knowledge about the wines and was very fun to talk to! Highly recomend this place and ask for Lamar!

    If you're looking for a really good red wine, try McClain Cellars.

    This was our first visit to Solvang & McClain Cellars. We learned a lot about the wines & had a great time with Cornelius. So much so that we went back every day of our stay to see him. After the 3 days we spent in Solvang, it was unanimous. McClain Cellars was our favorite. Thank you Cornelius! You made our trip unforgettable. P.S. On our last day, Cornelius introduced us to Sebastian at the Buellton location. We look forward to seeing him on a return trip.

    I had a stellar experience with my girlfriend. We both opted for tasting flights. I had the Laguna Wine Flight and she had the Reserve Wine Flight. The staff there were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable not only on wine but on other alcohol. After hearing that it was my girlfriend's birthday, we were treated to an extra glass of complimentary sparkling wine. Definitely will be back again.

    I'm sure there are a ton of tasting rooms in the central coast... This place just sort of stands out yes the wines are very good and a ginormous variety for a boutique vineyard but the service and the circuses and every little thing about here you should make it stop that you're in the Solvang area.

    Gorgeous space - creative, artsy, family friendly, and attentive to every detail. Loved meeting the owner by chance. You can tell he loves the biz and he makes wine for his customers. Supporting black owned businesses is a great way to invest my money. Oh, and the wine and popcorn were FANTASTIC!!!!

    Comfortable sitting area outside

    This was our first visit to the winery. Con was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the wines and really listened to what we like and don't like. He picked the perfect tasting for us. The grounds are super cute and comfortable to sit and relax and enjoy a afternoon of tasting or enjoying a glass of wine. They have a very nice selection of wines for everyone. I particularly loved the sparkling rosé, it was very crisp and light. We enjoyed our visit so much we joined their wine club.

    What a great experience. Awesome wine. Our host Valeria was super knowledgeable about the wine, the labels and the stories behind each. So entertaining. We stayed much longer than we had planned as she made the experience so enjoyable. Thank you all the way from Virginia. We will be back!!

    Great wine

    I am a very happy wine club member of this winery, which a friend introduced me to a few years ago…read more Although the tasting room is in more of the "industrial" part of Industrial Ave., and in what looks like a simple warehouse, you can't let that steer you away from having a tasting here. Once you get inside, you actually see where and how everything is produced (something you won't get at the "fancier" tasting rooms). The staff is so knowledgeable and pleasant, and they go out of their way to make your tasting experience a nice and memorable one. Ryan Roark is the type of winemaker who really likes to let his grapes do the talking and his wines are AMAZING! If you want to go off the beaten path onto a road less traveled and get away from the fancy tasting rooms to enjoy a casual, fantastic tasting on a backyard patio (with wines that easily rival the big names in the area IMO), this is a place you need to seek out for sure!

    Not a huge fan of all their wines. Definitely one of the newer wineries. They work out of a rented…read morelot, lots of great ideas but execution was not great. Rose was delicious as well as their Pinot Noir. Great for tastings and groups, suggest to come with friends and do a small private tasting. Prices are okay, not too expensive. Buy them by the case. Much better price!

    Choosing Vega Vineyard & Farm for our October 2025 wedding was one of the best decisions we made…read more The venue is absolutely gorgeous, but it was the people who made us fall in love with it. From day one, Jimmy and Jessi made us feel welcomed, cared for, and supported, and that feeling never changed. Every corner of the property felt like something out of a dream. From exchanging vows surrounded by stunning scenery to celebrating under the stars in the courtyard, each moment was more beautiful than we imagined. What makes Vega so special is that it feels like more than just a venue. It's a place we'll continue to visit for years to come, celebrating anniversaries and future milestones. The food was incredible. Our guests are still talking about the salmon, roasted lamb, fresh salads, and amazing orzo. Every dish was beautifully prepared, and the family-style meal created such a warm and connected atmosphere. We truly wouldn't change a single thing. Our wedding day was perfect, and we will forever be grateful to Jimmy, Jessi, and the entire Vega team for making it such an unforgettable experience.

Their brunch menu has amazing food options. I had the Louise's Cheesecake that tasted so delicious! On another note, their service was absolutely wonderful as well! Kudos to every employee there, you all were fantastic and very keen to your service. I highly recommend stopping here for your next brunch spot!
