Yup, the Yelp reviews and their website paint an accurate picture. Super chill spot with good wines, friendly service, inviting outdoor area and excellent attention to detail. Whenever we return, we'll definitely carve out some time to have a glass or two here again.

The most honest review of Casa Dumetz begins with a warning to AVOID this place at all costs. While…read moreall advertising would suggest this is a friendly, female-focused winery, all staff members our group encountered seemed to be the exact opposite. Our group of 5 all ordered $30 wine tastings where we were not allowed to actually select the wines to taste. When I asked what wines would be included, the server identified several on the menu and unfortunately only half of these ended up being included in the final tasting. As our group began to enjoy our tasting, the staff unexpectedly took our heater away to warm a 2 top table without ever asking our group if we still wanted the heater (we did, it was 50 degrees out). One person in our group brought out a leftover bite of baguette from a previous stop in town and was QUICKLY alerted by the owner with the wag of a finger and note that "they sell food there and she can't bite her own food." The owner waited until my friend put her small bite in her purse before walking away. When checking out, the server told us we'd need to pay via one card only (fine) and proceeded to watch closely as my friend chose her gratuity option (rude). Although we selected a nice 20% tip on the screen prompt, the actual math shook out to a 24% tip without us ever agreeing to it. Short story: - Too expensive - Rude - Performative, white-centric feminism - Not worth visiting when there are so many other great options close by

Good pours and all the wines were low alcohol. They try and make them as natural as possible and are smaller batches than bigger wineries and labels. Friendly service as well. My only critique are the stools, they were really uncomfortable so sitting there for the whole tasting was not fun. We purchased one bottle and could have maybe purchased a couple others but we opted not to. I will also mention that there was a slight push to try and buy bottles at the end. Stopping short of saying "you should buy some bottles" but a lot of "nudges" and "hints" about buying bottles. We would definitely come back to try other pours.

Standard Flight: $20/3 pours…read more This review covers two visits, one midweek in 2025 and one two weeks ago on a Friday. It's an interesting setup, as there is a separate room for Lumen Wines, however we were told that the tastings are done at the adjoining Pico restaurant. The nice thing is that because of the restaurant, you can do the tastings later in the day, after the other wineries in town have closed. I also noticed on their website that there's a garden patio as well. My one gripe is that on both visits, no one directly related to the wines was there to interact with us. The restaurant's staff provided all the tastings and wine info. WINES: Lumen's wines are hand-crafted with minimal intervention and made from grapes sourced from sustainable local vineyards, and their estate vineyards, which are farmed organically. Usually, this would make me skeptical, as wines like that do not typically match my wife and my palates. So, on our first visit, we tried a flight of their wines ('21 Chardonnay, '21 Pinot Noir, and a '21 Grenache), including a couple extra pours, like their Escence orange wine and the "Hey Ginger" Pet Nat. On this past visit, Pico was offering a 20th Anniversary special: a French Fries appetizer and a bottle of wine (your choice) for $30, so we opted to get a bottle of the '23 SBC Chardonnay which was excellent. All the wines were well-made, and I really enjoyed them, especially the Ginger Pet Nat, which was quite unique. Of course we took a couple bottles home with us. Overall, it's a nice winery to stop in and enjoy a tasting, glass, or bottle with lunch or dinner.

I was deceived! The tasting fee is pretty exorbitant at $30…read moreat the time of this writing. Esteban said they would waive it if we bought two or three bottles. I continued the conversation and asked if there were any discounts if I were to buy a larger quantity like half a case. He told me we could work something out. I bought seven bottles and all he did was waive the tasting fee. In my mind, that means he lied to me! The wines are decent, but pretty expensive, even overpriced for what they are. The tasting room is nicely appointed with clean restrooms, and the people are nice enough, but don't expect any bargains. I'll never return just because he promised a discount for the quantity I purchased, then reneged and gave me nothing. He thought waiving the tasting fee was sufficient. I mean he wouldn't even give me 5 or 10% for being a disabled veteran. I'm not a fan of bait & switch sales tactics like that. Enjoy the $280 I spent. It's the last you'll see of my money! I see that the owner has responded to every review written so far. My advice is to not respond to this one. Take your $280 and leave it at that. You can only make things worse by responding to this because I'll reduce my rating and include your response in my edited review.

We'd heard a lot about Clementine Carter (formerly Casa Dumetz Wines) and the owner/winemaker, Sonja Magdevski. Honestly, based on what we heard about her style of wines, we didn't think that they were going to be a match for our palates, but we're so glad we stopped in and did some tastings. We ended up taking six bottles with us on our first visit and stopped in again in late 2025 for a follow up. WINES: The wines are well-made, utilizing minimal intervention, paleo-friendly, organic, and prioritizing sustainability. They focus on Rhône varietals grown in the Santa Barbara County wine country. IMO, the whites are dry/crisp, and the reds are on the lighter bodied side, but we've found ways to pair these types of wines with our meals, while we typically drink heavier/bolder wines on their own. We have plenty of wine friends that will love everything about Sonja's wines. They also sell bottles from other wineries they "adore", so no need to travel all over the place. They're your one-stop shop. In addition to wine making, Sonja has an adjoining coffee shop and offers some of the most delicious charcuterie boards and munchies to pair with your wine tasting experience. There's also a good-sized patio, should you feel like taking in some fresh air. Add Clementine Carter Wines to your "must visit" list. You'll thank me for it.

The owner, Sonja, is a very cool, kind, talented and warm person. Her staff is kind and friendly (some of them are the owner's family, which is way cool). I love knowing that I am supporting a female owned label, so I became a member (years ago). This last visit just last week was another great trip! This time, they sold a beautiful, tasty charcuterie board with corn nuts. There were so many delicious cheeses that I have never heard of. You can do a tasting inside our outside in a nice patio area. They also sell wine. My sister told me about them and I am so glad she did. I have told several wine loving friends about Sonja and Clementine Carter (formerly called Casa Dumetz). One trip there and you'll see what I mean.

The grounds are beautiful, with lush Mountain View's surrounded by nature. It's a small trek to get to the winery, but just cross the bridge and follow the path. There's plenty of outdoor seating with tables and umbrellas. Indoor seating and tasting is also available. I came here because I was in the area, and wanted to purchase two bottles of the Rosè for a party. After sampling it at a recent event; it made me want more! I'm picky when it comes to a Rosè, but this one hit all the right notes. It's 93% Grenache & 7% Marselan. It's light, fruity, a little dry and has the perfect balance of tart & sweet. The best part is the wines here are all organic, environmentally friendly, vegan, no additives, and minimal sulfur. Prices are very reasonable. I wish I could have stayed to do a flight tasting, but I will definitely return. Thank you Cody for helping me out during my visit here. Looking forward to coming back soon!
