    Says the wine tasting opens at 12pm, was waiting there for 15 minutes and nothing. The beer tender didn't even talk to us or give us an update about what's going on or when to expect the wine tasting to open. We left

    We had a fantastic experience at Fox Wine Company. The tasting room is nestled inside the Waterline--a cool, industrial space shared with Topa Topa Brewery, Lama Dog Tap Room, Kiva Cowork, and The Nook Eatery, founded by Master Chef Norbert Guehr. The setup is perfect--guests can enjoy incredible wines and order delicious food from The Nook, which gets delivered right to your table. A special shoutout to Evett, who made our visit exceptional. He was incredibly informative, professional, and engaging. His knowledge and passion for wine elevated the whole experience, and because of him, we're already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

    I recently became a Blair Fox Cellars in Los Olivos and I was delighted to discover that I can get member tastings and discounts at Fox Wine Co, mere blocks from my home! Manager Lisa is so approachable and schedules great local live music and features talented local artists in their space in the Funk Zone. Fox Wine Co is in The Waterline in The Funk Zone which offers indoor and outdoor seating, beer, food, vintage shopping, family friendly, etc. I love the recent addition of the wood fired pizzas! Perfect for enjoying a wine tasting. In my opinion, Fox Wine Co offers the best ambience and options in The Waterline. I love that the space is separate enough from the rest of the businesses, but open enough to enjoy the entire space!

    I recently got to check out this spot on a Wednesday after work and it's awesome! They have a huge patio, which offered tons of space to hang outside and enjoy wine. Their service was excellent. The staff working the register and bar was quick and very friendly. They have both indoor and outdoor spaces to hang. Parking is tough, but that's the case for most places in the Funk Zone. Dogs are welcome and I love that. They have umbrellas in case it's warm too! My rosé was really good- chilled perfectly.

    Fox Wine was amazing! I had my birthday party there on Saturday with a group of 20 friends. Lisa and the entire team took extra care to make we had a wonderful time. They above and beyond to make my day special. The Nook pizzas were fantastic. I'd recommend trying them all. Each one was equally fantastic and delicious! We will be back! Thank you for making my birthday trip to Santa Barbara special!

    The service here was great. My friend and I both got to try some of the wines before buying a bottle. The ambiance was well decorated. I really love coming here. I have actually been to some painting classes here which was a fun Frida and wine event. There was enough seating both inside and outside.

    Such a great experience. The service was 10/10. The bartender was so nice, so attentive, and so knowledgeable. The place as cozy, comfortable, and overall a nice time. I think the bartenders name was bex or Becca. 100% coming again. Thank you!!

    Love to stop and hang out in this area. Usually have a Topa Topa and sit outside. Love the laid back friendly, no rush atmospheres but now I realize there's more to hanging out here. In same building is The Nook restaurant, Lama Dog and right next to Topa Topa is Fox Wine making this a stop for everyone in your group. Today I didn't want beer so ventured inside to Fox Wine. Great experience. Informative friendly staff. Very happy to give taste to help me decide. I choose their Sauvignon Blanc and was very happy. Nice fruit forward crisp taste. So wonderful on a hot Saturday afternoon. Highly recommend giving Fox Wine a try. Great space, especially if you have a larger group.

    I appreciate a place that has both wine and beer and since Fox Wine shares space with Topa Topa Brewing, everyone in my group was able to enjoy something. Really liked the open area of Fox Wine since it's in an old airplane hangar. Also love how the space is used for artists to show their work. Our server was great and very engaging.

    Seems to be common complaint regarding rudeness of staff. I wanted wine but husband wanted a beer so ended up here.The beer was just OK,he much prefers Figueroa. The chard was just OK.I wanted to do some tasting flights but we were awkwardly kicked out of the wine seating area (Something to do with licensing.)I was gathering my wine and stuff another staff guy immediately comes running over and asked me to leave. Doubt we'd come back.So many better wine tasting rooms in Santa Barbara now. Hung out in the store area and had our drinks and purchased a few cool shirts. The sales clerk was great. I'd come back but only to purchase something in their cool shop.

    This really is the perfect place for both wine AND food…read more So far we've been in a couple times sitting in the bar area and also out on their comfy patio space. Our servers Alex and Kayla were exceptional at both suggesting some delicious lunch items, and also giving a rundown on their different wine tastings. They gave us some helpful information on the assorted varietals and vintages as well. We went in specifically for their M5 and Riviera Rose, but discovered their extensive selection of other varietals and vintages. Came away with some new favorites: Sauvignon Blanc, Trois Blondes (a delicious white blend), Viognier, Mourvedre, and Estate Syrah. Perfect that they open at noon for lunch. We paired our wines with their Santa Barbara Smokehouse Salmon, Smoked Duck and Arugula Salad, Chicken Pesto Sandwich, and Sausage Mushroom & Carmelized Onion Pizza. Still so much on their menu to enjoy.

    I'm giving this place 3 stars because of the efforts of one server to keep things afloat outside…read more When we arrived, another large party had just left outside and she immediately cleaned one of their tables so we could sit. It was chilly so she tried to light the heat lamp at my request but both that one and the replacement did not work. The replacement actually had the propane disconnected so I assume someone knew that tank needed to be changed out but didn't do it. The other tables from the large party were full of wine glasses and a half eaten pizza. Those sat there for over an hour, and we watched several groups of people come but leave without being seated because no server was available yo seat them and the only open table hadn't been cleared. When it was finally cleared, one guest at a near by table commented that the pizza shouldn't go to waste. The girl who cleared the table initially carried it inside but came right back out with it and served it to that guest whose kid ate it. I'm all for not wasting food and if the guest had gotten up and grabbed the pizza himself, that would be one thing... but to serve old food that had been sitting out for a long time to a guest is a no no for a business. We otherwise enjoyed most of the wines in our tasting flight. Would've given 5 stars if service had been more timely, tables cleared and old food not served up.

    Formerly Area 5.1, now under new ownership and fully owning its glow-up…read more Orgullo Wine is Latino-owned, community-rooted, and brings a lively, welcoming energy to the Funk Zone. The aesthetic is intentional and well done. Mexican icons on the walls, thoughtful decor throughout, and fresh flower centerpieces that quietly say someone here actually cares. It feels curated, not forced. I've seen a review floating around claiming Angel is rude, which hasn't matched my experience at all. Every interaction I've had has been professional and friendly. This feels more like a busy Friday night where people were camping without ordering wine and didn't love being reminded that a wine bar is, indeed, for drinking wine. Wine + service * Tasting flights are $25 and well curated * They occasionally offer two-for-one wine flights * Small-batch wines produced in the Santa Ynez Valley by Esfuerzo Wines * Standout favorites include the Coyote Rojo Bordeaux-style blend & the Sauvignon Blanc is crisp, refreshing, and easy to love * Marissa, one of the tasting associates, is consistently hospitable and attentive and makes the experience feel effortless Vibe and events * Fridays feature Lotería with a DJ from 6-10pm * Lively without being chaotic * A solid mix of locals, regulars, and people actually there for the wine If you're looking for good wine, a fun atmosphere, and a Funk Zone spot that blends culture with care, Orgullo Wine is doing it right. Order wine, enjoy the space, and let the night unfold.

    This spot was so cute and a fun outdoor patio to hangout in and enjoy the wines. We did a wine…read moretasting and our server was very kind and knowledgeable about what she was giving us! They don't have food but they allow you to order from the pizza truck next door and it is hand delivered to you!

    So much to love about these 10 blocks of Shopping, Wine, Beer, Coffee, Restaurants, Art, Museums…read moreand Culture, Hotels, and more Shopping. And all nestled nicely between Highway 101 and Cabrillo Blvd, and between Garden Street and State Street. Can't even start with what my favorite spots are, I find a new one each time I visit. Usually plenty of street parking on the weekdays, and on the weekends definitely need to use one of the assorted public parkling lots in the area. You'll also find Live DJ's, Karaoke, Trivia Nights, Live Music, Bingo, Happy/Hoppy Hours . . . and sometimes dancing in the streets.

    This is a truly funky place to explore. There's an eclectic mix of restaurants, unique shops,…read morewineries, breweries, coffee, antiques, and more. Parking is challenging on the weekends. We've been there when it's busy and it can be festive-- pop ups in old vintage rv's or outside beer halls can appear; bands playing in several spots, etc. Experiences can be hit or miss. We visited a winery called Area 51 which sounded fun, but the wines were just okay. But Pali Wine had very good wines, a relaxing patio, and cool live music. The stores vary from very pricey threads to affordable knick knacks; succulents to vintage records to original artwork. Many spaces occupy previously owned old businesses that give it a nostalgic feeling. A few top name wineries have spaces here (i.e. Fess Parker). Definitely worth checking out in looking for a unique time in Santa Barbara.
