Tony is a true delight and guided us through some wonderful and delicious wines. Such a cozy place inside and outside. Standouts included: Patina - A Viognier and Grenache Blanc blend. The Perfect summer wine. Rubia - Their first chilled Red of Grenache and Mourvedre and a delightful surprise. Figure - Tony's favorite and super tasty. Tempranillo and Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon Congruence - A jam bomb of Syrah and Viognier. Yum. Definitely make your way here! read more

Eda is amazing, kind, interesting, and a knowledgeable wine server. She made us feel right at home as we cozied up to the bar. Hubby and I each had a wine tasting. We love the reds. We ended up buying a bottle and glasses to take back to Chumash Casino resort. Chumash used to have wine glasses in the room. Eda was easy to talk to like an old friend. She is very personable. Eda would get 10 stars if Yelp allowed it. The winery itself is designed well. There is a couch, tables, and other comfy yet stylish furniture. We enjoyed ourselves. Thank you, Eda.

Who wants to drink in a windmill??? I do! I do! I do! This is a sweet tasting room! It's a little hidden because it's not right in the middle of all the action but it's the huge windmill you can see from across town! They offer a nice variety of wines both red and whites. They allow everyone to bring in food from the restaurants down stairs. I did see a few people with cheese platters to pair with their wine. Looked good too! Although the tasting room is quite small, let's be real it's inside a windmill, they have a balcony with tables and chairs so everyone can enjoy their wines outside, possibly during sunset? Do I hear romantic? I think so! The pouring team here was super nice and made tasting wines really fun! I'd highly recommend everyone check this spot out! read more

CrossHatch Winery is a very special place and, winemaker. Owners Jessica & Ryan Carr are clearly about grapes and all things "wine" and it shows in their highly quaffable wines, all five varietals. This is a unique, small production winery, with remarkable attention to detail (including the gorgeous labels which could have been created by Albrecht Durer himself) and the wines, of course. The Carrs have also gone to a lot of trouble to create a cozy, unique space to taste, the top of an old windmill in downtown Solvang which, by the way, is rapidly becoming a very cool place that is NOT just about all things Denmark. Tourists who love the town during the day, give way to us locals who come out at night and we love the hot new restaurants and bars! read more

All the wines are blends. Had no intention of buying any wine, but was surprised by how good they were!! Ended up taking home 6 bottles. I'd definitely do a repeat visit to CrossHatch!

What makes a trip to Solvang even better? Drinking wine in a windmill makes it better! This little tasting room is a hidden gem in the little town of Solvang and Since we were staying at the Hadston House, our wine tasting was complimentary!! The wine is spectacular and our host was very helpful in explaining the different wines. The prices per bottle are not that expensive from what we saw. So don't just walk past this windmill, walk up the stairs and try some wine! read more

Drinking wine in a windmill? Uh yessss!!! This tasting room is cute and cozy and perched high in the windmill! There are like 3-4 tables inside and like 6-7 stools at the bar. You get to try 5 (I think) different wines and you have the option of taking your wine glasses home as a souvenir! Unfortunately, you can only get up to the room via stairs. It may not be the best for anyone that may have trouble going up and down them. Since it's inside a windmill, space is a bit limited but it's easy to stop elsewhere for a bit then come back and I'm sure space will open up for you! The ladies behind the bar were so friendly and informative about the wine too! read more

History

Established in 2011.

CrossHatch was founded in 2011 with a bold idea: to focus on the art of co-fermentation—harvesting and fermenting multiple grape varieties together to create wines that are layered, expressive, and truly unique. The label designs reflect this same spirit of creativity, featuring antique winemaking equipment illustrated by Santa Barbara artist Thomas Van Stein using the classic crosshatching technique. Each image captures the character and soul of the wine inside the bottle. Winery owner Michelle Vautier was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where wine is woven into food, family, and community. She brings a lifelong appreciation for wine as culture, celebrating connection, creativity, and craftsmanship while offering guests a warm and welcoming place to taste, linger, and share stories. We invite you to stop by our Santa Barbara tasting room to enjoy wine flights, wines by the glass, and bottles to go. We look forward to sharing many bottles - and memories - with you.

Meet the Business Owner: Michelle V.

Michelle is honored to be part of the Santa Barbara County wine community and brings gratitude to every step of the journey. She is dedicated to learning, growing, and contributing in meaningful ways, while crafting wines that celebrate connection and creativity. She hopes to leave her mark as a woman-owned winery and create a legacy to pass on to her daughter.

More spacious and less stuffy, Municipal feels a bit more like a wine warehouse than a wine room. The woman serving the wine seemed very cool - exactly what I want from my wine connoisseur! Very hip, alt rock playing over the speakers indoors and outdoors. Did not know any of the songs but they were "bops" as the kids say. Multiple locals there too, so you know it's good. I liked all of my wines, especially the first in the flight. They were all interesting and had a lot of flavor. Took two bottles home with me and will certainly come back

Before deciding on which wines to taste, you are able to get a sample of each in ordee to decide which suit your tastebuds the best. Since it was me and partner, we tried every single one! Whichever the other skipped out on, the other got and vise versa. We had a wonderful experience, chatted, and played games that were provided.

Comfy couches and counter seats were available and if you wanted some bites, you could order from the restaurant on the other side of the building. There's an outdoor area as well, but it was being used for a private event during our visit. There's also a little shop in the corner if you wanted to buy some western themed gifts. We tried the Pinot Noir Rose and Pinot Noir. Both were excellent!

I love the live music at Fox Wine Co. Always genuine fun time! Music wine and friendly service.

At a minimum out your Early Entry tix for access from 12-4 but I highly recommend the VIP treatment. A dedicated tent with pool club vibes, higher end food and wine with comfortable seating and shade. Don't forget the fancy toilets too. Totally worth it.

Unfortunately, as the lights dimmed and the excitement was about to begin...the theater suddenly went dark and the emergency lights kicked on. The staff immediately reassured us that we were safe and that there was a power interruption and that things would be running shortly. Sadly, minutes ticked by and the staff came back to let us know the outage was affecting a large part of the area and offered vouchers. I was in a pickle. I purchased my tickets through Fandango, we were leaving town the next day and their site refuses refunds or credits after the movie start time...no exceptions (I should review them...boooo). We hung back for a few minutes while the staff dealt with safely walking all the customers out and I spoke with Elias who is the GM. He was extremely polite and apologetic. He too understood that working with Fandango was problematic and he offered to take my information and see if he, or the corporate office of the theater, could help. I left my information with hope, but no great expectations. Well today I got my socks blown off! I received an email from Elias and he is working with Fandango. He just needs my confirmation information from them to try and facilitate a refund. At this point, the ball is in Fandango's court! I am so impressed with Elias and the staff of Metro 4 Theatre in Santa Barbara. In this age of digital processing and service by text it was so refreshing to deal with a professional who cared about the company, the job and the customer. Speaking to someone who was willing to go the extra mile was such a wonderful experience. I am so thankful to Elias and his team and would recommend this little theater to anyone in the area. I am happy to give 5 starts on service alone!!!!!!!!!!

I returned from an overnight getaway in nearby Solvang when I decided to catch a film at the SBIFF Riviera Theatre. I became aware of the theatre during the recent Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF), and thought this stop would be a nice relaxing break before I got back to L.A.. Originally, the theatre was an auditorium building designed by architect Alfred Eichler in 1926 as part of the University of California, Santa Barbara's Mesa Campus. It opened as the Riviera Theatre on May 12, 1964 with Ludmla Tcherna in "The Lovers of Teruel". In June 2016, the Santa Barbara International Film Festival entered a new era with the acquisition of this beloved theatre. After a $5 million dollar capital campaign and renovation, the theatre was now SBIFF's new state-of-the-art, 360+ seat capacity, year-round home, showing new international and independent films every day. The theatre was now an irreplaceable resource for the community and a representation of Santa Barbara's rich history. Would this theatre be on my radar the next time I was in the area!? PURCHASE Ticket - General Admission ($12.50): I watched the international film, "Don't Let's Go To The Dogs Tonight" https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=48&select=229mdFVeyJEvIkH3f7ecUA because this was the only option, which surprisingly held my interest throughout. This seemed to be a bargain as I felt standard non-matinee promotion prices were upwards of $15.00 or more... but I could be wrong. Tejava The Unsweetened Tea Peach Black Tea 16.9floz Bottle ($5.50): I wasn't in the mood for beer or soda, so this was the next best healthier option - not bad. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=48&select=cR_MOZMMlHwt90VdThv5ig Large Buttered Popcorn ($8.25): Fluffy and buttery, this was one of life's simple pleasures. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=48&select=tpiIOBQsf4ta4Dm70IUWgw SERVICE From the onsite ticket purchase to the concessions, everything was a breeze - thank you!

Most importantly, the theater was rigged with a stunning new projector and sound system comprising a Dolby Vision laser projector and the expansively spatial Dolby Atmos audio system, which took the output from four to some 50 speakers around the room. The Riviera was now one of only 26 theaters in the U.S. with such technology and the only nonprofit so equipped in the country and possibly the world. Natural lighting only existed in the lobby through the doors/windows while the electric house and stage lighting filled in the rest. There weren't any monitors or background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=s-VR-koXfa89fAeeUxHdSg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I had a fun afternoon at The SBIFF Riviera Theatre and would definitely return the next time I was in the area if not during the next film festival. I loved the old-time appeal, and of course the surrounding area was beautiful. I loved everything about the theatre itself, the concession drinks (no alcohol) https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=tSCzN1yDJCO-1MC-k9L7qg and food https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=FY8rbodociQn9r0jnImGvg prices seemed very reasonable, and the service was straightforward. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $26.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...

There was an older gentleman, he looked like he was in outer space, mumbling his words, seemed confused, shaking, didn't say hardly anything about the wine, just mumbled, poured and walked away. Also, we had to keep reminding him we needed our next pour. There was also a younger (ish) guy there, super awkward, weird eye contact, not very friendly and didn't seem to know much. First time here and a bit put off. We went to 2 other wineries in the area and did not like the wine and much, but the vibe and staff were pleasant and seemed to like their job and know what they were talking about (for the most part) Mixed feelings on this one, need better staff?

I love checking out new wineries I haven't been to, and came across this one on Tik Tok. There's ample parking here with other small businesses in this little plaza.

They have a nice outdoor patio area, but I chose to sit inside on my visit. I was the only person there most likely because it was a weekday. I decided to do a tasting of the reds. It was $30, which seemed a little high but the wine is from the Santa Rita Hills region. Anyone who knows about STA. is aware that they have the best Pinots. I enjoyed each tasting and Julie was really good at explaining each pour. The Pinot and Syrah/Grenache/Mourvèdre were my favorites. I also appreciate that I didn't get a headache after sampling the wines. That's a huge plus! Overall, I had a nice experience here.

Truly a wonderful tasting room and winery you'll be happy you came to experience (especially the "Chapel View"and "Blanc de Blancs.") From me: We've been coming to Riverbench since our very first trip to Santa Barbara and while the wines brought us in, it's the staff, and more specifically, Brad who keeps us coming back. Brad has been a constant and remains welcoming, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in our experience. He doesn't just pour wine; he truly elevates it and guides us through Riverbench's excellent Chardonnay and outrageous Pinot Noir with insight and enthusiasm that make each visit memorable. Plus he likes my Pommard. What really sets him apart is the connection. He remembers us, tailors the experience, and creates an atmosphere that feels both personal and relaxed. Riverbench makes fantastic wine, but Brad is the reason it feels like a tradition we keep and pass on to others.
