This place was really cute! It's on the pier in Santa Barbara with phenomenal views. I am an experienced big red wine drinker and fairly picky. I was very hesitant to go here because I read that the wine isn't good etc.... However, I was really pleasantly surprised! It's not Napa wine or anything, but all 5 mixed wines we had were pretty solid and really made it worthwhile.

A lovely experience with beautiful views of the ocean if you get a good table. The wine tasting is priced at $20 each for a mixture of whites and reds which we felt was really reasonable. The way it works is that you have your first drink poured at the bar, find a seat then when you are ready go up to get the next glass and so on. This meant that we felt relaxed and could do things in our own time. The wines were okay, not the best we've tried but certainly not the worst. When we went for our top ups we were told some facts about the wines. The views are gorgeous and really pleased we went here. I would definitely recommend this wine tasting just don't have too high expectations of the taste of the wines, but the view does make up for that.

Vibes are spectacular, was served by Abigail, her booming smile drew us right in. Enjoyed a lovely glass of the Sea turtle Chardonnay with my girlfriend from out of town. Such a lovely experience, very low-key and homey. Will be back!

We are members at Deep Sea and love to pick up our wine bottle each month and stay for a glass of vino at sunset!

The view was beautiful and the location is nice. Unfortunately the wine is totally undrinkable. While I drink wine frequently, I must say that I would only come here if I didn’t have discerning taste buds. Come here if you’re looking for the view only.

Great spot on the pier with awesome vibes. That's the best part. The wine is mediocre and the service was bad it was just one meanie bo beanie lady that hated her life. Having said that, the space makes up for it and it's definitely worth hanging out for a glass.

This was our last stop on a day of winetasting around town. Not surprisingly it was our favorite spot, it probably had something to do with the SEVERAL glasses of wine we had getting here, and the spectacular view/sunset you get from being on the pier. We got friendly/knowledgeable service from Gillian who did a nice job explaining our white/red wine flight. Guests at Deep Sea Tasting Room will be rewarded with fabulous views of the Pacific from the 2nd floor of Deep Sea's building, which is located on Stearns Wharf. It's really tough to beat the experience of wine tasting on their outside patio - sitting at a table, sipping wine while looking out over the ocean and watching kayakers, paddle boarders, and people in general. Deep Sea doesn't take reservations; all seating is first come, first serve so you might end up sitting inside, which is still lovely. This was a great end to a fun day of wine tasting.

They played Taylor Swift for the entire two hours that we were there. It was painful. But can't beat the view.

Great view of the pier looking at the sea. $20 tasting for two whites, two reds and a rose. Unfortunately I couldn’t finish any of them as the wine was undrinkable. The worst table wine in Europe is better than this one.My advice, come here for the atmosphere, view and friendliness but if you want to enjoy a good Californian wine go somewhere else.Also, the pier has free parking for 90mins

Decorative tasting room located on the pier of Santa Barbara. Enjoyed a great syrah on the outdoor deck while watching the hills and sky change color as the sun sets.
