So much nicer than waiting on the benches at the station!

The owner, Lenny, was super cool, welcoming, and made sure we had a great experience from start to finish. The wine tasting was fantastic, the atmosphere was relaxed, and that beautiful Santa Barbara ocean breeze made the experience even better. We had an amazing time, and everyone in our group enjoyed themselves. Hands down, I'll be back! If you're in the Santa Barbara area looking for a great winery with good wine, great vibes, and a welcoming atmosphere, definitely check out Skyenna!

We sampled a variety of wines, including Sauvignon Blanc, Anastasia Red Blend, Grenache, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay--each one was excellent. Mickey is also a sommelier, and his knowledge really shows. He not only educated us on the wines but also highlighted and supported other local businesses. He truly feels like an ambassador for Santa Barbara. Hands down one of the best wine tasting experiences we've ever had. Highly recommend! Ian Lantz

Such a wonderful experience at Orgullo Wine in Santa Barbara!…read more This Latino owned winery is truly a hidden gem. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner and his wife, and from the moment I walked in, they made me feel like I was at home with family. They were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and passionate about what they do. I did the wine tasting, and I loved how detailed they were with each pour. They took the time to explain the wines, the different flavors and notes, and what makes each one unique. You can really feel the pride and love that goes into their wines and everything I tasted was delicious! If you're looking for a fun Santa Barbara day trip, I definitely recommend hopping on the Amtrak, enjoying the ride up the coast, and walking over to Orgullo Wine for a tasting. It's such an easy and enjoyable way to spend the day. Great wine, beautiful culture, and even better hospitality. I will definitely be back. Salud!

He was so honest and said, "if you prefer that kind of wine, then next door to us serves those types of wines." However, when I mentioned my husband's preferences, he said Orgullo has what my husband likes. Emily was our server when we sat down and she was the SWEETEST. She went out of her way to get the wines we preferred and gave me Instructions on how to order food from the food truck next door. She was so kind, warm, and cheerful. We made it a point to let the gentlemen who we first talked to know how much we enjoyed Emily's service. We bought home a few bottles to share with friends and my friends absolutely loved it! Great spot and a definite return for us

It seemed like a great way to sample a variety of wines without it being overwhelming. We were warmly welcomed by Taylor, who made our visit even more enjoyable. She was incredibly friendly, took the time to explain the menu, and walked us through the wines we selected, making us feel comfortable and never rushed. We also ordered the charcuterie board, and it exceeded our expectations. The quality of the ingredients was excellent, and it was surprisingly filling for the two of us. Between the welcoming service, delicious food, and relaxed atmosphere, this ended up being one of our favorite stops in Santa Barbara. I would absolutely return on my next visit and highly recommend stopping in if you're spending time in the Funk Zone.

My partner and I recently visited this wine tasting establishment and while the venue itself is…read morebeautiful and the live music created a great atmosphere, our overall experience was unfortunately very disappointing due to poor service and presentation. We had a series of issues from the start. Our assigned waiter was completely inattentive; he ignored our table, failed to check on us, and never brought the cheese board we ordered. We eventually had to flag down another member of the staff just to get any service at all. Even after we caught his attention, our server seemed aware of us but made no effort to approach or assist. Additionally, the wait time for our wine flights was excessively long. When the cheese board finally arrived, I was shocked to find that all three cheeses were served still inside their original plastic wrappers--not even sliced. To make matters worse, we were provided with plastic knives to cut the cheese ourselves, which was incredibly difficult and frustrating. I have never encountered a cheese board served this way at any establishment. I really wanted to enjoy this visit, and I want to give credit to the other waitresses who were working that day--they were great and were the only saving grace of the experience. However, the lack of basic service and the bizarre presentation of the food made this a trip I wouldn't recommend
