Such a fun and tasty experience here at Loubud Wines, and all within the beautiful setting of the…read moreinner El Paseo Patio. And on a beautiful Santa Barbara afternoon, seated in their comfy cozy patio area, our gracious host Paul took us through our tasting and made sure we knew exactly which vineyard each wine came from. We learned so much about the process of making Sparkling Wine, and why each glass was so special. And as we went through our tasting we had the opportunity to also enjoy working on their custom hand carved wooden puzzles. Something we had never experienced before, and they helped to make the tasting all the more enjoyable. They also offer a Santa Rita Hills Rosé of Pinot Noir, and a Happy Canyon Sauvignon Blanc. Both of which we purchased for our next Springtime picnics. They also have a fun tasting area inside, both at their bar and inside tables. Although we didn't get a chance to meet winemaker Laura and Taco (they both had the day off), we look forward to coming back to Loubud very soon. Really can't say enough about how delicious the wines are, you really need to experience them yourselves.

My husband is a member after we were referred by a friend years ago (almost 10 years ago). The wine is excellent, and the staff is knowledgeable, welcoming, personable and makes you feel right at home. In particular, I'd like to shoutout Brad who is gracious, and provides excellent service and care for us and all patrons. Funny, smart, and shares updates on the winery, the wines, and every time we drive up from LA, makes the experience that much more enjoyable for us. Thank you, Brad. Truly a wonderful tasting room and winery you'll be happy you came to experience (especially the "Chapel View"and "Blanc de Blancs.") From me: We've been coming to Riverbench since our very first trip to Santa Barbara and while the wines brought us in, it's the staff, and more specifically, Brad who keeps us coming back. Brad has been a constant and remains welcoming, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in our experience. He doesn't just pour wine; he truly elevates it and guides us through Riverbench's excellent Chardonnay and outrageous Pinot Noir with insight and enthusiasm that make each visit memorable. Plus he likes my Pommard. What really sets him apart is the connection. He remembers us, tailors the experience, and creates an atmosphere that feels both personal and relaxed. Riverbench makes fantastic wine, but Brad is the reason it feels like a tradition we keep and pass on to others.

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

This really is the perfect place for both wine AND food…read more So far we've been in a couple times sitting in the bar area and also out on their comfy patio space. 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.
