We had a nice time here. I almost didn't go in because of how flashy the exterior is. It's a good example of the local wine scene though, which is to say fun and low-key. All the wines were nice and the person pouring was very friendly and also helpful in planning our day in town. The bottles are all really expensive though. read more

Excellent service by the owner, Art. He took time to explain all the wines, even to some who weren't paying attention. We used the Yelp $15-for$30 deal, and he was very honest about how much credit was left. He gave us a much better appreciation for wine, and a few extra tastings. Great place, fun place, definitely will return! read more

My boyfriend and I wine tasted across Solvang for two nights We went to quite a few tasting rooms and this one was by far the worst. The owner seemed drunk, and he was rude to me. I think he was trying to be funny, but I didn't expect he would act that way to a paying customer. The wine was average anyways. Needless to say, we will not be returning. read more

Amazing wines are just one reason that we frequent this fine establishment. Art the proprietor is the absolute best wine maker we have encountered in Solvang- and we have tried them all. My fiancée and I both have made Sevtap a must stop location and we are avid members of his Wine Club. His shipments are diverse and always top level. On top of all of this, I told Art we were heading into town for me to propose and he made the effort to make a very special experience for me and my fiancée . Where else do you get that type of service? Nowhere. An absolute must visit winery and tasting room. read more

Came here after Sort this out cellars, I loved the decor and ambiance here. There are chalkboards instead of walls everywhere and chalk so guests can write on them. There are also oak barrels by the walls and it was just classy. Sev the owner was very welcoming and told us his story of becoming a wine maker, interesting dude. His wines were okay, we ended up getting a bottle of red. He seems really passionate and just for his attitude and stuff this place is 4 stars. read more

Gentleman behind bar a bit abrasive at first but knows the wine. Love the reds here.

Amazing wine paired with a relaxing ambience. Art and his staff make visitors feel like family from the second you enter. Trivia night on Fridays at 7:30pm are a great way to spend the evening for young and old patrons alike! Sevtap is my favorite place to visit when I'm in town. read more

Lovely wine tasting experience. Live music was a bonus and was entertaining. Art, the host and owner, was very nice and very knowledgable. For a 7 wine tasting it was 15$ or you can just have a glass. I will definitely be a repeat customer next time I am in Solvang. read more

Completely amazing!!!! We were helped by the owners wife (her name slipped my mind) but she was awesome! So helpful, knowledgeable, and great service. She and the owner are so amazing and sweethearts. If you want great wine and a great experience you must stop here. :) read more

Love it here. The wine and ambiance is fantastic. Art, the winemaker, served us and was charming. We bought a case of the Vermentino, the perfect summer white. read more

First time wine tasting and we had an awesome experience. The owner was super friendly and made us feel very comfortable. He was very attentive to everyone doing the tasting. The wine tasting was 15 dollars to try 7. What a deal!!! Plus he makes all his wine himself. We ended up buying a bottle, can't remember the name, but I know it was the last one on the list. Check this place out. It's not in the middle of everything, it's on a corner heading out of the Main Street. Will definitely come back next time were in Solvang! Thank you! read more

Great place to hang with friends and enjoy the hospitality of Art the winemaker. Wines are good, vibe is great. This will become a regular stop in Solvang. read more

Great wine and lovely spot in Solvang! Owner is awesome and friendly. You will enjoy his conversation and well made wines. Just stop by to taste and experience. read more

Sevtap Winery - We are celebrating our wedding Great wine as always - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Solvang, California

My babe and I arrived at 4:30. We were greeted by a Turkish bartender who looked hauntingly like Javier Bardem on acid. We were also greeted by the single coolest South African, hairy chested, mojo necklaced dude ever. He knew more Americana than any American in America. We tasted 5 wines and purchased the last: Cassiopeia. Go on a Saturday. Ask for the South African. We mIss him already. read more

They have a wine here called Zig A Zig Ahh - named after the Spice Girls. How can you not love anything that has to do with the Spice Girls?

$15 for wine tasting? Not bad, we got to try 6 and they were delicious. The owner was very charismatic and explained the name of the wine, which were all very creative, and the notes of the wine. Would definitely recommend. read more

This place was fun, a lot of energy and good wine. Did a tasting and tried around 6 different wines, all of which were delicious. Definitely a neat little place to stop by if you're having a relaxing day trip in Solvang. read more

Small place in the middle of a remodel when we went. The wines were not that good. It reminded me of a dive bar, but only serving wine. Kind of a loser crowd when we were there...but they knew the server and it seemed like they hung out with him there often. We would not return. read more

A+ winemaker and atmosphere, B+ wine. Art is a character who must be seen in person to be believed. He provides a great atmosphere and a low-stress tasting environment. I could definitely see this not working for some types, but for a bunch of 20-somethings looking to have a good time (and show our friend from Tennessee a good time in town), this was a great spot! I don't enjoy the wine here as much as I do a lot of other places (hence the -1 star), but it's definitely somewhere that I'd return to a few times. I'd love to come here for a show sometime! read more

If you're in Solvang, you must stop by and do a tasting here. When we went, we were the only ones in the place and the owner was the one doing the pours. The wines weren't like anything I'd tasted before, and I really enjoyed the twists he put on the flavors. The walls are covered with chalkboard paint, so customers come in and draw and write all over them. It gives it a very fresh, unique, and fun vibe. It might have just been the day we were in there, but the owner seemed to be a little cynical. We talked about wine a little bit, but also about life and other topics since no one else was in there. He seemed to be reluctant to talk too much about his wine. We were new to wine and trying to learn more about it, so he came off to us as a little bit of a wine snob. I would highly recommend going here, and I will definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm in town, most likely to get punched in the face by Art after writing this review. He might forgive me if I bring in Charlize Theron or Elizabeth Hurley. :) read more

All their wines are delicious. Art was an awesome host. He knows what he is doing when it comes to making his wines

I thoroughly enjoyed Sevtap. Now. I'm just getting into this whole wine drinking thing, so I'm not too knowledgeable, but I know what I like, and I really like their wine "Maya." The owner was charismatic and witty, and gave us some great suggestions for our stay. The chalkboard walls were refreshing and sweet. I will definitely head back to Sevtap on my next visit. read more

I was so disappointed with this place. Although it is funky, with chalk graffiti all over the walls, it is dark and not inviting at all. We found the sommelier to just be going through the motions of explaining to us about the wines. When we said that the first one .was drier than we liked, he because very condescending and said, "Well, that is what it is SUPPOSED to taste like!". We tried all the wines and didn't like any of them - they were all very dry and a couple were quite bitter. I'd recommend saving your $10 and skipping right over this one. read more

Sevtap is one of the few tasting rooms in Solvang that is open after 6 and out of those, it may be the best. The place is intimate but very fun. The night we arrived they were having a trivia night which I thought really livened up the place. The walls are painted with chalkboard paint, thereby allowing your drunken self to graffiti to your hearts content. The owner is extremely nice and knowledgeable and gave us some great tips and insight into the wines they serve. If you like Syrah they have a great one. Definitely worth a shot. read more

I absolutely love this place because Arturo, the smiling guy behind the counter offering cheese and pouring extra tastings is the owner Great wine with a super fun atmosphere! Live music in the evenings on weekends, and honestly we feel so relaxed being here we could stay all day! I love their "Wish you were here" Sangiovese. A must visit! read more

Nice service but If you're into great wines I personally wouldn't recommend. The wines are new and mediocre at best.

What a neat little place! Unfortunately, this tasting room is tucked away from the main streets where there is not a lot of foot traffic. We found out about it from the gentleman over at Royal Oaks who recommended this place. You probably wouldn't know it existed otherwise. I love the ambiance. The guy pouring that afternoon was funny and witty. There was a guy strumming out some mellow tunes on his electric guitar in the background. And all of the walls are made up of a giant blackboard on which people can write/draw with chalk. The employee even cleared a spot on the wall so I could draw Darkwing Duck. The wines were okay--I honestly was not a big fan of the wines. but they were not bad, either. I'd come back for season changes on their menu and to draw on their walls :) One of my favorite places! read more

Love this place the owner is so cool he makes you feel like your family I love coming here the wine is very good here .live music great entertainment read more

This place is great! My favorite place to come in Solvang. Ertugrul Sevtap is very friendly and laid back. The wine is delicious. My favorite is Guitar man and Summer Love. I always have a good time here. read more

Great wine, even better proprietor! Highly recommend. A Solvang gem. A little off the beaten path and worth a visit!

So much fun! The folks at the other tasting room in the windmill told us to come here after they were closing for the night and they were right on. We drank some great wines and drew all over the walls for our gal night out. Then we went to dinner right across the street at Landsby. read more

Hand crafted wind maid by the owner . Great wine selection very attentive service . Generous pouring . Reasonable prices to buy wines . We enjoyed the patio amazing experience don't miss out this wine tasting room . read more

Love this place. I stop by every time I go to solvang (which is four times a year). The owner is very welcoming, friendly and always plays any music you request. I've never had a wine I didn't like. Andrea is my favorite to date but I know anything they bring in will be great. read more

Fun place! it is right next to the Inn that we stayed at, so it was nice to just walk over there at night and grab a drink. Especially the first night that we got there. They allow dogs and my friend was in heaven putting them all! read more

Probably the best wine tasting place here in Solvang. French Cellar Artsy vibe. Ask for Art himself.

After walking around Solvang in the hot weather it was such a pleasure to find Sevtap right next to our hotel. Everything closes super early and coming into this winery was just what we needed. Yes, the vibe is not your usual uptight winery but thats what makes it so great. This place was dark, funky and absolutely awesome to relax and have some tasty wine. Art has an awesome kick ass attitude. Such a great thing to not feel like you are speaking to an uptight judgemental wine master (as I have experince that in some places). My favorite response was after we asked what Sertap meant and his response was simple "awesome... It's my last name" LOL He is very straight forward so if you can't handle that maybe this isnt your spot. The wine itself honestly blew us away. We loved all of them and we are pretty picky with wine, especially red wine.we love that all his wines have a story behind the name and we could taste the favors that were in it. It was a great time in there and we will def go back to visit him whenever we are in Solvang. He has a wine you will love in the summer heat and wine you will love during the holidays as you put the fireplace on and relax. Thank you Sevtap read more

Sevtap Winery - So hard to pick which one was our favorite! - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Solvang, California

Honestly one of my favorite spots in all of California. My husband and I really want to visit Napa but haven't made it up there yet because we can't quit Solvang and Sevtap. If you're in town, try the new Pinot, "Step Monster." It'll change your life. read more

Went here based on yelp reviews but it tasted like I was drinking wine mixed with lemon juice. Also, the person pouring wine was extremely rude. read more

Not at all sure what the good reviews were talking about except for the uniquely decorated store. The wine was terrible, could barely get it down; the owner-completely pretentious, rude and unwelcoming. It completely ruined our evening. Will be spreading the word to avoid this place. The owner needs to leave and hire someone more pleasant to greet guests, he obviously was too exhausted and irritated to be there. With so many wine tastings in solvang, theres no room for that mediocrity. read more

Awesome little gem! A wine tasting with a pub like feel! Very comfortable setting, with an awesome host!
