Dierberg's gorgeous tasting room is tucked away in Drum Canyon. The tasting offers 6 delicious wines, starting with two whites and a rosé, then moves on to various reds. The large barn doors on every side of the building make the inside feel very open. There are two bars and a few cozy areas to sit. Outside, there is a ton of patio seating and amazing views. The huge grassy area is perfect for picnics. There is also a beautiful succulent garden with a small walking path. They are both dog and kid-friendly. We sat inside at the bar since it was overcast when we arrived and Heather helped us. She was very knowledgeable about the wines and super friendly. About halfway through our tasting the sun came out and it made the grounds look even more stunning! I highly recommend checking out Dierberg on your next valley trip!

Beautiful views on a blustery day

On a blustery day in the Santa Rita Hills the dog, my wife, mom, grandma, and I made it out to Dierberg Star Lane for a wine tasting. The lone barn behind the backdrop of the hills was truly a sight to behold. We had planned on tasting outside but with the wind howling we stayed inside instead. We were a little hesitant since we had our 85lb pittie with us but as others have said this place is VERY dog friendly. Service was awesome and we had a lot of fun making our way through the Bordeaux offerings from Star Lane and the Burgundy from Dierberg. We ended up going with the star lane membership and look forward to coming back to pick up our bottles and spending more afternoons at the Dierberg in the near future!

Whenever we have visitors here in Solvamg, a visit to Dierberg is a must! The views of the valley and the wines are all very tasty. The team will help you understand what wines to pair with different foods at home and they are very friendly. The winery is right off 246 on Drum Canyon road and although it looks like a barn, it's very well done inside and out. Be sure to ask for Kristen when you go as she know her stuff.

Great wine selection

SARA'S STOPS: Sipping away the afternoon at a beautiful winery in the Sta. Rita Hills west of Solvang. When you are up in the Solvang area make sure you head over to the Lompoc area to try some amazing wines. We just spent the most pleasant afternoon at Dierburg Star Lane Winery tasting room. The property was so beautiful inside and out. We loved sitting on the patio, which looked out over the beautiful garden and hillsides. The interior was spacious with lots of areas to sit and relax. Kristin was our wine pouring expert. She explained each tasting with amazing knowledge. She knew the area and soil makeup where each grape came from and the percentage used to make each varietal. The tasting included Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, and Syrah.It was very hard to choose which was the best because they were all amazing.

Some of the very best winemaking in the area, and great hospitality. Standouts include their Cab and Syrah. They also make four Pinot Noirs that express different terroir and winemaker, which makes for a fascinating horizontal.

A great spot for wine tasting

We were driving from Solvang to Lompoc and didn't have any wineries in mind to stop at until I opened up Yelp to see which wineries were dog friendly. Dierberg popped up and had a number of great reviews. When we pulled up, we immediately thought that the grounds were one of the most picturesque that we had seen in the area. The barn is such a great setting for the tasting. There is also a large grassy area and a number of outdoor tables. The weather was perfect so my husband and mother-in-law enjoyed sitting outside looking at the land with our dog while I tasted with my father-in-law. When we first arrived in the tasting room, we were warmly greeted and we each had 3 glasses set in front of us. I've been to a lot of wineries and this was the first time that I had 3 glasses to use for tasting. After we tried the whites, we were poured the 2 different pinot noirs to taste side by side. I really enjoyed the tasting and having the ability to taste side by side was a nice touch. The gals working there were very friendly and knowledgeable. One of the gals showed us a map and photos of the winery as well and explained to use where Happy Canyon was. They had a deal for 1 cent shipping if you purchased at least 6 bottles, so we did that and got the sauvignon blanc (2 bottles), pinot noir (santa maria, 2 bottles), pinot noir (santa rita hills), and cab. The wines arrived very quickly and in tact. I would definitely recommend a stop at Dierberg, especially if you like pinot noir.

Charming structure!!!!

~~~~REVIEW # 850!!!!~~~~ More 6 year Anniversary fun!!!! My BF really did a really, really good job in locating the best vineyards in the Santa Barbara area!!!! He picked Dierberg because it specialized in chardonnay - which is our favorite kind of wine!!!! It turns out they don't just specialize in chardonnay though. The best thing about Dierberg is the fact it's off the beaten path!!!! Always cool to find something this good where perhaps you'd least expect it!!!! For a $20 tasting fee here's what we got!!!! 2016 Star Lane Sauvignon Blanc 2014 Dierberg Chardonnay 2014 Dierberg Pinot Noir 2013 Dierberg Pinot Noir 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 Syrah All of the above wines were superior in every aspect!!!! I really enjoyed them and they were better or as good as wines we sampled at more popular wineries!!!! Our hostess was funny, great and very charming!!!! We were joined by two other hostesses who were equally cool!!!! The decor and ambience are great!!!! There is an adorable winery dog running around!!!! What can I do without at Dierberg Star Lane Vineyards? Nothing!!!! What stands out at Dierberg Star Lane Vineyards? Superior wine and charismatic staff!!!! The fact it was not crowded!!!! Five stars!!!! Dierberg Star Lane Vineyards is really, really ridiculously great!!!!

Great low key vineyard and tasting room. Gorgeous bar with comfortable lounging area both I side and outside. The location used to be an old barn which they converted into a wine tasting bar. Outdoor seating is beautiful, location is fabulous. Restrooms are gender neutral, crowd is diverse and friendly. Bartender was great and really fun, super knowledgeable of all the wines and varieties. I loved visiting this place, highly suggest to bring friends and make a day out of it . You can certainly bring some snacks and make a picnic. Huge fan of my entire experience. Keep it up! * ***********Heres a good IDEA ************* ********Did you enjoy reading the review ?****** ************PLEASE Share some ************* ************ vote for this review!***************

Dierberg is such a beautiful vineyard! I love the barn look! They've even got a really cute spot with a tractor and barrels for photo ops while you're there. The wine there is amazing. I'm a huge fan of all their wines but especially the Pinot Noirs! The staff is super friendly and greet you with a smile. Fun fact about this tasting room is that they'll pour the tastings for you outside if you sit out at their patios too! I've been to lots of tasting rooms and the ones with patios usually don't do that! I came in on a busy afternoon and Kristin was able to pour and make conversation with everyone! She's very knowledgable about the company & just fun overall to talk to.

See all

However the service we received was unlike any of the other wineries we stopped at in the area. When we arrived at 3:30pm we were greeted at the door by a young woman who immediately told us that they would be closing at 5pm so we may not have much time for a tasting. An hour and a half isn't enough time for a tasting? After sitting in the large open tasting room, we engaged in conversation with her about the wines and the winery. When asked how she got into the business and started working at Hilt, she said she just wanted something that she didn't hate, and had applied for the job a couple months ago. When we asked about the white wine they had, she mentioned its tannins. Tannins in white wine? Given that we were only interested in trying the whites and the majority on the tasting menu were reds, we decided to try a glass of the white on offer instead of doing the tasting. The pour was about 2 ounces. It's too bad that the service was so impersonal and uneducated because the winery and the wines seemed so impressive. We would have loved to learn more but decided to cut our losses and leave.

The furniture and artwork were both stunning as well, definitely recommend sitting by the fireplace. Our host was lovely, knowledgeable, and super accommodating of the timing before our next reservation. She explained the wines perfectly and definitely got us thinking about the different tasting notes. We left with a few bottles of the 2005 Sangiovese, it was an off-menu recommendation from our host and this wine had an amazing aroma, didn't even need to take a sip to know how special it was (but obviously did)! All said, an amazing experience, beautiful wines, knowledgeable staff - definitely recommend!

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.

I'm not one for white wines and I even loved their white varietals, so that should speak volumes! The staff member during our visit was very friendly and had excellent taste in music. The pours were generous as well, more so than a usual wine tasting! It was fun to sip wine and they even let us pick a vinyl to play while we visited. We were so impressed by the wine that we even joined their wine club. I can't wait to receive the first shipment! I'm also already planning our next visit to this tasting room, which is located in an awesome one road town. Located across the street from The Alamo Motel, where we stayed for the weekend, so we just walked across the street for our tasting. It really doesn't get much better than that! I definitely suggest making a trip to this charming wine tasting room and finding out for yourself what a treasure it is.

We had a reservation with some friends who had their wine back when they were married. As it was a first for all of us, it was very exciting to experience it with them. Mid week which was pretty quiet. Most of the wineries are during the weekdays. The property is off one of the back road from the main highway 246. Once you enter the property, you're greeted with a cute tasting room. Very cozy, a log cabin vibe with the fireplace and plush seating. Main tasting room but as it was beautiful out, we needed the experience outside. First off, Both Neil and Lynn were absolute dolls. They started us off with some crisp bubbly, perfect for the wether. Both were the sweetest and so easy to talk too. It was like we were already friends and popping over for a chat. During our experience, Lynn took over and made sure that we were here for an enjoyment. And let me say, it was AMAZING.... She was the funniest and sweetest person. Laughing and smiling while making sure that each and every tasting was explained and enjoyed. To add to the experience, a charcuterie board was served. The selection of cheese, meats and sides added to the tasting. Can't go wrong with it. Staring off with the reds, let's just say there were none that needed the dump bowl. Everything was so rich, bold and full body and flavorful. One after the other, the wines were excellent. And finishing off, it was the white. Normally you start with whites and work to the reds but their version, it was good. Bottle after bottle was amazing with each pour. The explanation of each was so helpful. Not only the wines but the properties was beautiful. The garden seating area with tables tucked in with the lush garden looking out to the vineyard. Then the wrap around patio with more seating. Also perfect for the chilly weather, the outdoor fireplace. It was beautiful as the leaves were changing to the nice rust and red and glistening from the sun. The whole experience was amazing. Both Neil and Lynn are magician in their work. The service was excellent, wines were outstanding, friendly staff which are like friends chit chatting with each other. It made everything worth it. To say we'll be back, that's something to really look forward to. The wines, excellent....
