I have been involved as an assistant winemaker with Bellante Family since 2003 when we were a cooperative. Chuck Bellante makes a great cote du Rhone style Syrah as well as great Pinot Noirs, Viognier, Mourvedre, and Grenache. The tasting room is wonderful with good people sharing great wine! If you haven't already visited, you should as soon as possible.

Love this intimate venue. You get to actually talk to the winemaker! Great vibe in a hidden location… we passed by here for a couple years before trying. Don’t wait!!

$30.00 for one glass of pinot. Hmmmm....seems excessive. We won't be back.

What a treat for us loving outside of wine country! These are legit, well-crafted wines from some of our favorite vineyards in SB. Clearly a talented wine maker who knows where and how to make quality vino. We will be back for the warm service, non-snotty education and fantastic wine!

Lovely, tucked away location. You would drive past it- you should stop in! Open on Fri-Sat. Owners are good people who are often working behind the counter. Nice to be able to talk to the actual winemaker. Only white is a great Viognier, lots of delicious reds. Look up their Library testing once a month- worth it!!

Who knew? Had never heard of this place. Went to go hear some live music by invitation and was pleasantly surprised. Nice little spot, They don’t offer food but you can purchase a small charcuterie board (pictured) and some munchie stuff like chips. Their website doesn’t say your welcome to bring your own food (but you can) They offer plenty of reds but have only one white which wasn’t bad. Enjoyed the atmosphere, and the service. We will visit again. Gave 4 stars due to limited white wine selection but you won’t be disappointed.

Less than satisfactory customer service for two reasons, poor customer service and communication. 1. I attended a wine event at this business in 2022 and was verbally assaulted by another attendee during the event. The person who verbally assaulted me is a member of their wine club. That person was unkempt, intoxicated, and tried to include himself into other people's conversations uninvited. Other patrons said that same member had run-ins with people before while attending events there. This business would rather keep that terrible person as a member to collect their money at the expense of gaining new customers and members. 2. At another event before the verbal assault, I purchased a case of their futures wine. When they emailed me that the wine was ready to pick up, they did not include any information on their business hours of operation, the amount of time they will hold the wine until pick up, and the option to ship the wine. None of this information was offered. Instead, a couple weeks later, while I was waiting to determine if I would share the wine with a different member, I received a curtly worded email that read, "We need you to pick your wine by this Sunday.....we don't have the room to store extra wine."

The owners are very down to earth, friendly, knowledgeable, and will make you feel right at home. The wine is deeeee-lish!! The most amazing Santa Barbara Pinot Noirs. I highly recommend it.

Always a great place to enjoy some wine from music nights, to Bingo and karaoke too!
