A lovely place to simply enjoy the fine Santa Barbara afternoons tasting or sipping wines. Great people and great wine. The snack selection was ok partly because they were out of some products. The fig jam was perfect. read more

Frequency has a wonderful outdoor patio, fantastic wines and great service. Our server really took it over the top with her friendly manner. We were seated in a prime spot next to their fountain and ordered 2 tasting flights. To get the tasting flights comp'd, you need to purchase 2 bottles of wine. That's a bit steep as some places will comp it with 1 bottle. Nonetheless, our server had the perfect pacing for the tasting and even gave us a little extra sip at the end for our photo. I truly enjoyed every wine that we tried. They have a small charcuterie or potato chip offering that comes from the nearby cheese store. read more

The best spot for a glass of wine on the patio. This place is charming, the service is superior, and the area is out of all the noise of the main strip! The wines were perfectly chilled and so crisp on a sunny day. We had a lovely afternoon hanging out at Frequency and our waitress really made our day - she was so sweet and fun to chat with, we wanted to invite her to have a glass of wine with us and sit down to join the debrief session we were having. Such a welcoming spot, I'll be back! read more

Wife and I went there on a Sunday afternoon and was not greeted or provided any service. There were three servers working and the place was less than half full. All three servers served people around us and never acknowledged us on whether they would serve us or if we have to order at the window. We stayed for 10 minutes being ignored and thendecided to take our business else where. Will never return here. However, we ended up going around the corner to Jamie Stone Wines and had a great time there. Would definitely recommend Jamie Stones. read more

Wine tasting at Frequency Wine is a wonderful place for an afternoon with family or friends. Went with college friends on a weekend afternoon where we enjoyed each others company while enjoying a varuety of wines. Parking: street parking. Server was friendly, personable, answered all of our questions about each tasting and was very knowledgable about each wine. We started trying the white wines, then red wines. One of us bought a bottle. A wonderful location to enjoy wine with friends Great location in Santa Barbara Cheers~! read more

Came to Santa Barbara for one day to do some wine tasting and visiting Frequency was bar far the highlight of the whole trip. The tasting room is tucked away inside a courtyard with plenty of outdoor seating. The interior is so cozy and inviting, we found a cute little sofa to sit on that was perfect for two. We went on a weekday, so it was pretty mellow but I have to say, the service was above and beyond wonderful. The ladies pouring were so friendly and offered lots of great food reccomendations. Now for the wine! Amazing. This was also the only tasting room we visited where we took home a couple bottles. Their red blend was a favorite, but their chardonnay was a pleasant surprise! Usually I'm not a chard gal, but this was so unexpectedly good and unlike any other chardonnay I have had. They offer some pre-made cheese boxes if you want a snack, but the location is walking distance to lots of eateries in the area. Can't wait to return next time I am in SB! read more

Frequency Wine - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

It's a pretty place, and they've got at least one or two decent wines. But a glass of wine is $25. Did I mention that if you want a glass of wine, it's $25? When a bottle is $43. If you don't want a whole bottle, the cost is outrageous. Once was enough. read more

This was my first time visiting. The space itself is really cute and has a nice environment, but I was disappointed with the tastings. They were very stingy compared to other places in the area, which made it hard to fully enjoy the wines. There were a few good options, like the Pinot Noir, but the pours were so small that it was difficult to actually savor or evaluate them. There were also kids running around which I didn't really care for. read more

We loved the white and red wine we tried, the garden was adorable and jonathan our host was wonderful! You can tell he has such passion for what they do and it was lovely. read more

Had such a lovely time at Frequency Wine. We came on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty busy. My boyfriend and I sat in the patio outside which had a great ambiance. We tried the wine flight and ended up ordering a bottle of the white wine from the tasting menu to sip on. We were able to sit, chat and drink for a couple of hours without feeling rushed. Our waitress was attentive and sweet. The wine from the tasting menu was delicious! We even took home a bottle as well. I would definitely return :) read more

The service is, simply put, the best! We're a bit biased towards Bailey, but Jessica is mad wonderful!!! As is everyone here. There are so, so many wine clubs around and with tasting being part of your membership why not enjoy that part?! Belonging to about 6,7 clubs, the drive to Santa Barbara and further north for pickups becomes part of your social life, so when someplace like Frequency opens it's an absolute delight ‼ Time to drop half this clubs and just enjoy this f*ucking gem. Great wines!! !!! And everyone knows their shit. So you're enjoying and getting a good bit of info at the same time. And when YOU know wine it's twice as good cause there's good convo and good drink. This has turned into a monthly visit. I can think of worse ways to have but why?! The reds AND the whites are good!!! There's a Rose to make you weep, and leaving without buying cannot be done. Good wines. GOOD wines. Ask about the 95 points. read more

My partner and I went here to start off my birthday and we had the best time. Our server was Zoey and she was nothing short of amazing! We had really fantastic conversations with her and she also really knew her wines! The wine was delicious-highly recommend the Radian Chardonnay!! I liked it so much I bought three bottles and joined their wine club! All in all this was such a great spot and I'm glad it was my first stop. Shout out to Bailey too for chatting it up with us and we learned all about butterflies and caterpillars which was so unique to this wine tasting room. read more

I went to their new location last weekend and it is so lovely! Just a block or so from their previous location, they now have a lovely patio and a nice inside sitting area where you can taste. It is so nice! As usual, the wines are lovely and the people so warm and friendly. Worth a visit! read more

Made reservations at this lovely jewel for Friday 3/4 @1pm. The weather was perfect for an outdoor tasting. Bailey was amazing, very helpful and knowledgeable about the wine. We had the toasting flight and my favorite was the rosé! We didn't have a chance to stay longer but if you do visit make this your first place to visit, you will not regret it. I also signed up for the wine club which I'm excited about but super sad about my wine glasses I purchased which broke on the way home. Just an update I received my wine shipment yesterday 3/8/23 on my birthday!!!! read more

This is a cute little wine bar/winery next to the cheese shop. We spent sometime at the bar there enjoying a bottle of wine and a cheese board from the cheese shop next door. The winery has a number of tables and seating to enjoy the wine. It was quite busy when we went (pre-covid) and everyone seemed like they were having a great time. read more

The most aesthetically pleasing wine tasting room in downtown SB for sure. It was our first time here and we came for my bf's birthday weekend. The staff gave him an extra pour! wine tasting for 20$ was well worth it. It started off with a rose and ended with a superb graciano. We came at the last hour (5pm) and unfortunately they ran out of the cheese board. Otherwise we had a great time! read more

We've done a lot of wine tastings and this is the best selection we've ever tasted. The whites were spectacularly good, and the reds were excellent (though quite smoky probably due to the fires). Usually there's a few misses but we loved every single one of the wines we tasted. The courtyard was beautiful. I'm not an outdoor person at all but it was a beautiful day and we got to sit outside with our stroller of bunnies. We weren't rushed, it was a perfect experience. read more

Came here yesterday with some coworkers after work for a meet-up! Such a perfect spot to get together with people. The courtyard with tables and umbrellas provided such great ambiance. I loved sitting outside. Parking isn't the easiest, but it's an easy enough place to walk to while downtown. Their staff were all so prompt to take our order. I am a big fan of wine tasting spots where the staff wait on you versus going to the counter to get each pour. We were recommended to order a bottle to split versus individual glasses for a cost savings, which was super nice for the staff to share. This is a great spot, I will definitely be back! read more

Frequency Wine - Rosé - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

3 words to describe my experience: Welcoming, clean, and informative I'm not a huge wine drinker, but I've been trying to expose myself to different types of wines to see what I like. Frequency made my experience so lovely that I'm excited to go to more wineries and wine bars. They provided small water bottles for us to stay hydrated throughout the flight experience. I enjoyed most of the wines. Our server who is the mother of the winemaker took her time in explaining to us the process of how each wine is made. She was patient with our questions and we learned a lot from her responses. Sat outside, but I had to walk inside a couple times to use the restroom and I gotta say that the decor was super cute inside! If you're in SB, check this place out! read more

With UCSB graduation this past weekend we had family we have not seen in a very long time come from all over the US for my Husband's cousin who was graduating! We all wanted to do some wine tasting while we chatted with each other. My husband did some calling around to some wine tasting rooms and Frequency was more than happy and able to accommodate our large group. We were promptly greeted and seated. Our waitress/ hostess came and greeted us. She explained what and how the tasting went to only one side of the table and with us all chatting on the other side we didn't notice that she was even their. We then sat for a few looking at each other like "um what do we do?" Our waitress came to the other side of the table and asked what we would like to do? We were confused since we had not heard a word she had said. We let her know we will all be doing a tasting and I advised that she repeat herself as she pours to each side of the table. She agreed. She was super awesome had no problem grabbing our attention when she needed it. The afternoon was perfect for sitting out on the patio. After the tasting we ordered full bottles to share and some cheese plates. The was okay nothing in particular stood out to us to take home. The cheese plates is where the little problem was for me. The menu said for 1-2 people and our hostess said they would feed more like 3 people. She brought out the boxes and let us choose. The one with meat was very meager. Looked like one piece of salami cut into 3 pieces and a couple small chunks of cheese. The cheese plate wasn't much better. But we needed snacks. Went with the $20 cheese plate/box. There was maybe 6 small chunks of cheese, on small package of crackers, 7-8 grapes, and a couple of walnuts. There was a lg container of fig jam though. Not $20 worth and placed is a large take out container didn't help. But we all got a little bite. Overall Frequency wine delved a nice inviting place for us all to spend a few hour catching up with each other. read more

The new location for Frequency Wines is absolutely stunning. It is very spacious and has quite a bit of outdoor seating with a soothing water fountain. On a warm, sunny day, there is not a better way to relax and enjoy a glass of wine with friends. I usually do not care for Chardonnay but I really enjoyed the crisp and smooth taste of this wine. The two ladies, Maria and Bailey that served us were very sweet and knowledgeable. If you are in downtown Santa Barbara and are looking for a calm, relaxing atmosphere, you must stop by Frequency. read more

The wines here are very new world, very easy drinking, and very fruit-forward. If you like subtler, food-friendly wines... come here anyway. Despite the intensity, I still found the wines to be very well-balanced. Bailey was an excellent hostess. She also gave me a bit of a bonus taste of the Mt. Carmel Vineyard Pinot Noir, which I ended up buying. Go figure. I also loved the GSM. It's an absolute fruit bomb, and yet so well put together. The winemaker adjusts the blend for every vintage. Take the time to look at the map on the side of the room. Very informative. They also have soil samples on a table in the middle of the room if you're interested in how that works. This place is an absolute gem. Definitely worth it to come here. If you have a friend that doesn't like wine so much, this is where you take them to convert them. The wines here are very beginner friendly. read more

One of the most beautiful and beloved outdoor tasting spaces in Santa Barbara, Frequency's tasting room is close to great local restaurants and everyone's favorite cheese shop. If you love boochcraft and the tang of kombucha, the young wines here are definitely for you. If you're a tastemaker and can predict the potential of a GSM or Pinot Noir once it's had more time to mature, this is for you. Staff was a delight, location is one of the best, but the wines weren't quite for me. (I'd say 'not my jam,' but...) I couldn't find the price of the tasting on the website, only that a $60 purchase would cover *one* tasting. Upon arrival, tastings were listed as the usual fee, $20 each. For a couple, this is $40, however, with a single ~$60 purchase, you're looking at cost of wine plus another $20 for the tasting. If you love the wine, the math works out, if you don't, stick to just paying for the tasting, because honestly the location and enthusiasm of the staff still make this a lovely experience. read more

We had a lovely tasting at this young wine company. The wine maker also works at Tensley in Los Olivos. We made reservations and had a choice of places to sit outside. I found the inside modern, it shares bathrooms and a building with a cute cheese shop. I really look forward to coming back to try the cheese shop after COVID passes and things reopen inside. This is also located next to a Mexican restaurant and Paninos. This is located in the historic area of Santa Barbara, very beautiful Spanish architecture all around. Parking is 90 minute street parking, hit or miss. Please know that they are known to enforce the time limit and give tickets. Service was friendly and informative. The wine was delicious. Now that was surprising but a nice surprise. They serve a Chardonnay that was bright and delicious. No overly oaked buttery bomb here. This was the first wine during our tasting and a great way to start. We also loved the GSM they served, perfect for thanksgiving! We recommend Frequency for good wines. read more

Another little gem in Santa Barbara. Great wine tasting room with fabulous outdoor space right next to Cheese Shop SB Win, win. This is a family friendly run wine tasting room with wine maker Zac heading the sweet making and tasting. They are active in promoting others in the community and friendly to boot. Did I add they have great tasting wine. One of my favorite places to stop, refresh and visit. Maria and Almond are part of this family effort, always friendly and happy to see you. Did I mention really great wine. read more

Best wine out of all the nearby tasting rooms! All tasting rooms that resides in The Funk felt like you were there for the soul purpose of getting drunk and hopping into the next place. I came here on Sunday at noon, so I don't know if it was because it was early or if everybody was indoors watching NFL But the ambiance was excellent- outdoor seating, overcast with a slight breeze. The balance of the flight was well thought out, and not just due to the styles, but each glass was comparable to the one before and after it. My favorites: 2019 Graciano - fruit forward, jammy, medium-full body. Just enough baking spices, vanilla, and oak were you can have more. Imagine a cab franc with less oak, and fruitier 2019 Chardonnay- apricot, apples, grapefruit rines and crispy. Balanced overall in the palate, with slight complexity in the finish. Delightful, and screaming to eat it with a nice white sauce on pasta or seafood. read more

My husband and I came to SB just to walk around and try the local wine tasting spots and even though this was top rated the wines on their tasting menu were so acidic they were the same as a $8 bottle of wine at Ralph's. Gross after taste. There was a lemon tree next to our table and sadly to say I dumped my wine in the lemon tree. No joke all of them. We went to grassini right before and it was night and day. Way better wine selections and amazing pairing options. So skip this spot clearly the YouTube and Yelp reviews are bought. read more

Suggested by my boyfriends Uncle and Aunt, we headed to Frequency Wine. If you seen my Handlebar review and traveling to Montecito/Santa Barbara, this is close by. Parking isn't the easiest but that's not the Winery's fault. We were told that this is a wine tasting spot only so there was nothing to eat. So come with a bit of a full stomach. And to ask for Bailey. I think Bailey was unavailable but we still had a fantastic time drinking here. We were lucky enough to have their Rose, and you cannot miss the opportunity to have it. Also, my boyfriend and I are not wine connoisseurs, but the staff helped us every step of the way. But after a couple of sips, you do wish that you can order something to nibble on. A bit pricey, luckily my boyfriend and I saved up for holiday outing but we would not come here without some extra spending money. They have a club membership but we were only here to visit family. But we would have loved to join their club membership if we were local to here. read more

If you're looking for a low key wine bar, Frequency Wine is your go-to. The staff and wine options are great. This place is a little pricey with $25 wine by the glass, but I would recommend the wine tasting or buying a bottle to share, great deals! read more

Unique blend of wine that you can't get anywhere else. Love the young wine to GSM to Graciano and to Mourvèdre. .

Dropped by as a walk-in on a Saturday afternoon for the wine tasting flight. We sat inside and really liked the interior design. The courtyard is also a beautiful place to sit and there were many people outside enjoying the sun. In comparison to other tasting rooms we went to that weekend, the staff didn't rush to explain each wine and they were very warm and receptive to questions. We enjoyed the flight and our time there. Will definitely recommend to friends visiting Santa Barbara in the future. read more
