    Magical high fives with THE BEST
    Catalina T.

    Magical high fives with THE BEST! Do check in! Getting a magical high five by far is only the beginning of your experience at Municipal wines. The wines are refreshing and tasty. 4 tastings for $20, dog friendly. Spacious location for you and your friends as well as your dog because yes! They are dog friendly! Emma my wine server was so chill, even though it was so hot. She's super nice and a great vibe. I'm so glad that I came back. Let's hope it doesn't take me 6 years again to get some magical wine because this is worth the drive. Cheers!! ******Dog friendly ******

    We visited the Municipal Winemakers tasting room when we were visiting Santa Barbara last week. I was thrilled to find a Santa Barbara tasting room with natural, skin-contact, biodynamic wines. The service was great, and the space is nice too - very modern, cool, well-decorated. I loved that they had various seating areas - inside, outside in the shade, outside in the sun. The wines were good, too! I had a flight while my husband chose one or two wines by the glass that he wanted to try. I had a nice time! I'd happily return when I'm next in Santa Barbara.

    Chill spot for wine tasting My wife and I were looking for a low key, fun and cool looking place to have a winetasting at. The interior and exterior of this place was super artistic, modern and minimalist. But when you walk inside it has so much character and the selection of wine looks so fun. There's also a furry friend to greet you when you grab your next wine to taste. I am not very knowledgeable about wine, and haven't met many that I don't like, but each selection comes with a nice description card which really helped while trying to taste the flavors of each of the wines. The ambience outside was awesome on a warm day, so we sat out there for a little bit. I could even go back and read a book on the patio while drinking wine. After a few other wine experiences in Santa Barbara, I was glad we made it here. We also bought some wine that we enjoyed. I'm sure we will return once we are back in SB.

    This place is a must. Their tasting ($20) is comped with two bottle purchases. Average bottle super reasonable around $30. Of course I did the tasting and purchased two bottles. I brought the wine glasses to my seat where my hubs drank beer from the brewery. Brewery and winery offered the same food menu. I could also order wine at the brewery if I wanted to. This place has quite a lot of seating, including outdoor seating with heat lamps. It was white busy though. Tip: Sign up for their emails before arrival for a discount code and $10 off. Would have used that.

    My fave white wine in Santa Barbara

    I highly recommend this friendly winery. Their white wines are so refreshing and perfect for summer. Luckily, one can sign up for a subscription service in order to have the wine shipped to your household monthly.

    Muni wines celebrated National Ditch Work Day by hosting a party and secret event. As I arrived The tasting room patio was jamming with music spritzers and pizza. After hanging out and enjoying the festivities we were ordered to leave The tasting room leave our glasses form a line and head up to the street as we walked the half a block they're set the Landshark the activity started to unfold and away we went on the Good ship Landshark out into the bay for an afternoon of more wine music and levity. I'm a member of a couple of wine clubs some have great events some not so much. Wow! Municipal wines hit a Homerun no make that a grand slam! Thanks Muni wines for a great afternoon rumor has it this may be an annual event

    We came here Tuesday around 6:30pm. It wasn't too busy. Wines were decent here. Dog friendly place. We did the tasting indoors, but kept our masks on in between sips. Tasting is $20 for 4 wines. They had a Chardonnay and 5 reds. Pretty spacious. They sell other gift items in their shop too.

    We went to 4 tasting rooms and hands down our favorite in the city wine tasting spot in SB! The customer service and quality of wines offered was amazing! Also helped they had a lobster counter next door that was SO DELICIOUS! We ended our night by returning to Municipal to purchase 5 bottles to go. Thank you for being everything we needed whole in Santa Barbara for a girls weekend!

    Santa Barbara's Funk Zone is such a cool area. Over the past few decades, this district, which spans the area between the ocean and Highway 101 and is adjacent to the Amtrak station. There are so many boutique tasting rooms, cafes, galleries, and shops. Converted warehouses and buildings decorated with graffiti murals and contemporary art pieces is where you will find Municipal Winemakers (whose wine club is known as Club Awesome). It's a cool vibe inside with a large patio in the front. Try the Mumble; it's delicious. The rest of wine was decent and the fast it's literally surrounded by multiple other wineries is amazing.

    Is this place pet friendly?

    It sure is. They just need to be on a leash and staying with you at your table.

    Is this place kids friendly?

    Hi Lan. We love kids! People bring their kids along all the time. We have a couple of vintage arcade games to keep them busy too.

    Polished Review…read more Definitely a great place to stop! I came with a large party of around 25 people, and Skyenna went above and beyond to accommodate us. The owner, Lenny, was super cool, welcoming, and made sure we had a great experience from start to finish. The wine tasting was fantastic, the atmosphere was relaxed, and that beautiful Santa Barbara ocean breeze made the experience even better. We had an amazing time, and everyone in our group enjoyed themselves. Hands down, I'll be back! If you're in the Santa Barbara area looking for a great winery with good wine, great vibes, and a welcoming atmosphere, definitely check out Skyenna!

    This was our first time at Skyenna, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish…read more Mickey took the time to share the history of Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Valley wine region, which made the tasting feel much more meaningful and immersive. We sampled a variety of wines, including Sauvignon Blanc, Anastasia Red Blend, Grenache, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay--each one was excellent. Mickey is also a sommelier, and his knowledge really shows. He not only educated us on the wines but also highlighted and supported other local businesses. He truly feels like an ambassador for Santa Barbara. Hands down one of the best wine tasting experiences we've ever had. Highly recommend! Ian Lantz

    Such a wonderful experience at Orgullo Wine in Santa Barbara!…read more This Latino owned winery is truly a hidden gem. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner and his wife, and from the moment I walked in, they made me feel like I was at home with family. They were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and passionate about what they do. I did the wine tasting, and I loved how detailed they were with each pour. They took the time to explain the wines, the different flavors and notes, and what makes each one unique. You can really feel the pride and love that goes into their wines and everything I tasted was delicious! If you're looking for a fun Santa Barbara day trip, I definitely recommend hopping on the Amtrak, enjoying the ride up the coast, and walking over to Orgullo Wine for a tasting. It's such an easy and enjoyable way to spend the day. Great wine, beautiful culture, and even better hospitality. I will definitely be back. Salud!

He was so honest and said, "if you prefer that kind of wine, then next door to us serves those types of wines." However, when I mentioned my husband's preferences, he said Orgullo has what my husband likes. Emily was our server when we sat down and she was the SWEETEST. She went out of her way to get the wines we preferred and gave me Instructions on how to order food from the food truck next door. She was so kind, warm, and cheerful. We made it a point to let the gentlemen who we first talked to know how much we enjoyed Emily's service. We bought home a few bottles to share with friends and my friends absolutely loved it! Great spot and a definite return for us

    While exploring the Funk Zone, we decided to stop into Pali Wine Co. after I came across it online…read more The wine flights were what initially caught my attention, especially since my mom doesn't drink much. It seemed like a great way to sample a variety of wines without it being overwhelming. We were warmly welcomed by Taylor, who made our visit even more enjoyable. She was incredibly friendly, took the time to explain the menu, and walked us through the wines we selected, making us feel comfortable and never rushed. We also ordered the charcuterie board, and it exceeded our expectations. The quality of the ingredients was excellent, and it was surprisingly filling for the two of us. Between the welcoming service, delicious food, and relaxed atmosphere, this ended up being one of our favorite stops in Santa Barbara.

We had a series of issues from the start. Our assigned waiter was completely inattentive; he ignored our table, failed to check on us, and never brought the cheese board we ordered. We eventually had to flag down another member of the staff just to get any service at all. Even after we caught his attention, our server seemed aware of us but made no effort to approach or assist. Additionally, the wait time for our wine flights was excessively long. When the cheese board finally arrived, I was shocked to find that all three cheeses were served still inside their original plastic wrappers--not even sliced. To make matters worse, we were provided with plastic knives to cut the cheese ourselves, which was incredibly difficult and frustrating. I have never encountered a cheese board served this way at any establishment. I really wanted to enjoy this visit, and I want to give credit to the other waitresses who were working that day--they were great and were the only saving grace of the experience. However, the lack of basic service and the bizarre presentation of the food made this a trip I wouldn't recommend
