An ATV ride through the vineyard shows off the landscape. Then, enjoy a private tasting with the excellent Pence staff. Burgundian wine lovers (Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay) this is your spot. Not overly oaked, some fruit without any loss of structure in the pinots. The Unum and Fugio (Estate grown Pinot Noir) show off the winemaker's talent for creating two drastically different expressions of Pinot from such a small parcel of land. Cozy, yet classy ranch vibe. I brought my parents who are new to wine (midwestern folks, visiting) and they loved it as well.

We enjoyed the tasting experience. The server was very friendly and knowledgeable, not only about the tastings but also gave us some pointers about the area. We bought some Gin. It had a unique flavor and was very smooth. Definitely recommend it as a quick and fun thing to do.

Alma Rosa Winery & Vineyards was founded in 2005 by Sta. Rita Hills pioneer winegrower, and Vineyard Hall of Fame inductee, Richard Sanford. Alma Rosa Winery & Vineyards places a focus on cool-climate varietals best suited to the Sta. Rita Hills AVA, chiefly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with additional production of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. The wines are distinctive, expressive, and are exemplary of the region. Alma Rosa Winery & Vineyards is committed to sustainable agricultural and business practices including organic farming and green building techniques. Alma Rosa's estate vineyards are certified organic by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), and were the first to achieve that recognition in the region. The name Alma Rosa is a tribute to the soul of the original Santa Rosa land grant on which the estate vineyards are planted. We look forward to sharing our wines with you!

Located just off Highway 101 in an industrial area which also houses (literally next door) the Industrial Eats restaurant the Alma Rosa tasting room was nice experience. It has a modern, non bar type of feel to it and families are welcome. We visited on a Friday after lunch and were warmly greeted. It was a very unhurried and great tasting experience. The wines themselves: Outstanding, particularly their Chardonnay varietals. Pretty much everything you'd want in a wne of this type. Their wines aren't necessarily cheap (mostly $35-60.00/bottle) but you get what you pay for. After we had visited several wineries that day and next we decided to join their wine club and visited them again on Saturday afternoon. The experience was nice but harried. They simply didn't have enough staff to really personalize the visit and we felt lucky that we had visited under much calmer circumstances the day before. All in all a great visit.

Take a very pretty drive west from Buellton and go wine tasting at Lafond Winery. We love their Pinot Noir, Sarah, and Chardonnay. They have a great little shop in their tasting room. Their wines prices are very reasonable for the area. Also for a picnic, they have about 10 tables spreadout over a lawn area overlooking their vineyard and hills far off the country road. The people working in the tasting room, are all friendly and knowledgeable.

We had the best time! If you’ve never been here let me start out by saying Brick Barn has a beautiful, spacious, outdoor seating area. And that’s all before you even taste the wine! Zack was a lot of fun, very informative, and he honestly loves the wine - You can tell from his descriptions and smile beneath his mask. We were a family of 8, celebrating a 70th birthday and enjoying a weekend in the area. The wine is delicious! Absolutely make this a first stop. Request Zack - he provides the extra somethin, somethin...
