Must commend Brander and how we love the tasting room, ambiance and product. Sitting outside on a garden deck next to a waterfall, sipping a great wine and enjoying the view. Could it be any better? Go see Carlos in the tasting room manager who is impeccable in his presentation of the wine making process and tasting notes! Lovely relaxing and simply the best????????
10. Carr Winery Santa Ynez

Reviewed By jes22 - Minneapolis, United States
The tasting room is located in the town of Santa Ynez. They have a great tasting room manager, she is friendly and very knowledgeable about wine. She shared lots of info about wines and AVA. Their wines are very good. It is a rather small winery, the owner does everything, actually growing the grapes and making wine. They also have tasting room in Santa Barbara. Our visit was a special experience.
