We had an hour to kill between scheduled wine tastings and decided to squeeze in a visit to Liquid…read moreFarm. We'd had one of the pinots at a fancy restaurant a few years back and knew the place had a good reputation. We also appreciated the easy walk-in situation on a Saturday afternoon. The tasting room was casual and charming, part "mercantile," selling wine, of course, and sundry gift items and home goods. There was plentiful seating, some of it at the bar and some of it in what felt like a large living room, homily decorated with lots of art on the walls. It was pretty busy while we were there, but not in the least bit crowded. We sat at the bar, which was run by an enormous former football player (if I eavesdropped correctly) and a woman from New Zealand on the verge of retirement. I'd watch that movie. We were helped by the woman, who was friendly and knowledgeable, a great guide to the house wines. The flight started with the 2025 Rosé of Mourvédre, then went to Liquid Farm's Chardonnays and Pinots. There was the 2024 White Hill Chardonnay, the 2024 Golden Slope Chardonnay, the 2023 "SBC" Pinot Noir, the 2023 Fiddlestix Pinot Noir, and the 2023 Four Pinot Noir. The wines were fantastic across the board. The tasting fee was $40, on the steep side, probably because the space invites casual drinking. It was easily waived, with one flight waived per two bottles purchased. The wines were all between $30 and $94, so this was easy math. The kind of easy math that had us leaving Los Olivos with a trunk--and back seat--full of wine. We picked up a White Hill Chardonnay, an "SBC" Pinot, and two of the Fiddlestix, a prime haul that we look forward to drinking. We had a lovely time at Liquid Farm and would recommend it to anyone wine tasting in Los Olivos.

Jeff, Brian, Anthony, and the rest of the team always make us feel at home when we're there. We even recently hosted our rehearsal dinner there, which was the perfect addition to our wedding weekend. We're so grateful that Liquid Farm was a part of it. Of course, their wines are also amazing, and our guests loved them - especially the White Hill Chardonnay! Highly recommend stopping by next time you're in town!

We can't wait to come back for a full tasting on our next trip. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're visiting Los Olivos!

Although I don't live in the area, when I visit I do expect to feel welcomed. To be honest, anyone walking through the door should feel that way. For that reason I'm pulling out of my membership. This past visit confirmed that the staff that signed me up and treated me with utmost care did not carry through. Love the wine and wish I could justify the spend for so-so service. Also menu should be updated for more offerings, if there no pop up food is very limited. Hours on Yelp are not the tasting hours listed on IG. I've asked this previous time to have those corrected because I've been done dirty twice by Yelp. Thanks for the memories, was nice while it lasted. Again love the wine and the space is gorgeous, but I will be taking my membership elsewhere.

Rustic tasting room located in a long building housing several wine tasting rooms. The tasting room and bar itself were very clean and there's plenty of parking in a private lot. WINES: Atsushi poured for us and was nice, but not overly friendly. We did learn that they produce about 2,000 cases across three labels. The wines we tasted were okay but not really fitting our palate preferences. That said, I always state that wine tasting is subjective to the individual's palate, but service is not. The wines I like/dislike, you may hate/love. I always suggest that you try and decide for yourself. We did get to try and purchased two bottles of the 2023 "Lover Girl" Late Harvest Chardonnay, as we love dessert wines. Overall, not our style wines so probably wouldn't stop in again.
