    Wine (still) tasting

    The service here is SO great. The wine is fabulous outside patio is darling. Quaint and perfect for a great conversation. The shop inside has so many cute trinkets and candles etc. couldn't help myself. Love this spot.

    Future Perfect is def one of my faves. Sunny, Nate, and Gillian deliver every visit. I feel like I'm part of the family when I visit. Thank you for being so friendly to those gays, also.

    If you're not stopping in here, what are you doing? This is my favorite place in Los Olivos. We went in December and fell in love with the tasting room and Gillian. We just went back this past weekend (3.9.25) and met two new characters, Jenae and Nicole, and fell even more in love. The champagne is to DIE for. Also, I don't like reds and I wanted to take all of their reds home, that's how good they are. Don't get me started on the merchandise, take all my money. The service, the wine, the atmosphere and the personalities in here make this a must visit every time. Obsessed with them.

    TURN UP THE SUNSHINE! I adore this place. I was introduced to FP by a friend of mine during her 30th birthday wine tasting extravaganza. Our first stop was this gem of a tasting room where we were greeted by a bubble maker, rotating disco ball, and of course miss sunshine herself. Absolutely blown away. As a queer person, visiting small towns can sometimes be a bit uncomfortable. Not always, but most times yes. I was shocked and overwhelmed with acceptance when I saw this place. Later throughout the day I realized just how LGBTQ friendly the entire town is. No judgement, just great wine and conversation. During my original visit I took home their pride edition sparkling wine which was a cute addition to a pride party I hosted the following weekend so I had to buy it again this time around. Unfortunately, it was sold out so I instead took home a special sparkling wine which wasn't even on the menu. Exclusivity always sells me. Their gift shop is adorable with a lot of great custom pieces. I took home a card which I didn't get a pic of but it basically explained that all roads lead to wine. Duh! Highly recommend this place. It's a sweet pick me up spot with incredible wines. Their Riesling is incredible too. Thanks Future Perfect! X

    Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows -- Helen Keller I met Sunshine first at Solminer where she recommended Story of Soil. Loved the rec. Eventually, she worked at Story of Soil and recommended Holus Bolus, as I was wearing a Prince hat. Loved the rec again :-) Now she runs her own joint at Future Perfect. She is a lovely human who makes lovely wines that very much have the current tasting profile. Tonight I'm drinking get feminine version of Tempranillo that is too easy to drink with lower alcohol. It retails for $48 which is definitely pushing the price point for a newer winery. Your mileage may vary of course. Next to Dreamcote Winery who are also fab. Highly recommended.

    Super adorable accessories in the store....matching bracelets for the win

    This place is truly amazing and so is the wine maker, Sunny. She is definitely a ray of sunshine and everyone that meets her agrees with me. You will not be disappointed with the wine they offer here; it's 100% my favorite wine and the varieties are second to none. Honestly I have never been to a wine tasting room where I loved all of the wines. The grenache is fabulous and smooth and probably my favorite; but honestly I love all of the wines she creates. I wish I could become a member but there is a long waiting list for that. I can honestly say that this place is spectacular and I am so happy that Sunny is doing so well with this business; so happy for her. She deserves it!!! Inside the tasting room, she has some adorable items and accessories you can purchase. I bought a bracelet, necklace and hat. I plan to buy more items in the near future as well. The outdoor porch is so cute and is a perfect spot to relax and drink so wine while enjoying the great outdoors with fabulous company. You must try Future Perfect Wine if you are in the area; I guarantee you will love it and won't be disappointed.

    Sunshine is a wonderful host and wine maker. Very friendly and attentive! She was running the place by herself and we never felt like we were not being attended to. The wine selection was great and we needed up taking home 2 bottles. The sparkling rose was really good. Not usually a sparkling wine guy but this was very pleasant and not overly bubbly. The porch pounder was dangerous with how good it was. Not a fan of rosé because of sweetness but this wasn't sweet. Really nice subtle tones and just one of my favs. The breakfast wine was really good as well. Very fruity aroma but not sweet. Not very tart just a light white wine. We ended up with a bottle of this and the porch pounder as the subtleness was too good to miss out on. Grenache- I like Grenache but this one kind of fell flat to me. It wasn't bad but I wanted more out of it. Good light body but there was depth missing to me. Overall a great little spot and amazed she's only been open for 10 months. The price of bottles outweighs the price of glasses so do yourself a favor, check it out and buy some bottles

    Future Perfect lived up to the hype. Sunshine and the gang were wonderful and served up delicious wines. Thanks to Peasant's Feast for the rec!

    I absolutely enjoyed coming here! The atmosphere is fun, welcoming and comfortable. I loved walking into the store and browsing the amazing knickknacks being sold. Sunshine, the owner, was beyond warm and friendly! I adored her right from the beginning. My friend and I did a taste testing then enjoyed a glass of wine afterwards. The front porch is quiet and allows you to people watch while sipping your wine. The wine itself was amazing! The Grenache was hands down my favorite. Go check this place out and enjoy your time there.

    I recently visited Future Perfect Wines up in Los Olivos. The wine was amazing and the tasting were a perfect mix of rosés, whites and a red for a warm summer day. The staff was very kind and knowledgeable about the selection and I'd highly recommend stopping in if you're in the Los Olivos or want a fun outing for the day. 10 of 10 and I look forward to my next visit!!!

    Carhartt Family Wines gets five stars for being the only tasting room in Los Olivos that stays open…read morepast 6:00. It was the first of five tastings we did during our weekend in town, and the wines were, admittedly, the least impressive. They went down easy, though, and we had a pleasant visit. We checked into our hotel on Friday around 5:30 and quickly realized that all the wineries on our list were closed. We asked the receptionist where we might be able to do a tasting, and she said Carhartt was our best bet. It was quite open when we walked in, almost intimidatingly so, the live music loud as we rounded the sidewalk outside the enclosed patio. Jack welcomed us into the tasting room and suggested we do a vibe check on the patio before deciding where to sit. We peeked outside and it seemed fun in a way we weren't looking for, a bit of a party atmosphere with a live band and a lot of people. We took our seats in the quieter tasting room, where we were able to enjoy the music from a distance while we drank some wine. We both did the house tasting, which came with five pours of Carhartt wines: the 2024 Top Branch, the 2022 Sin Nada, the 2022 Sangiovese, the 2022 Rebel Roan, and the 2020 Northerly. Jack also gave us a taste of the 2021 Graciano. They were all nice wines, but we particularly liked the Sin Nada, the Sangiovese, and the Graciano, and took home two bottles of each, getting one $25 tasting fee waived with each purchase of three bottles. Jack was a great host, and he told us all about the wines and winery as we went along. (He pre-empted our first question, saying that yes, they were the same Carhartts as the Carhartt clothing label, but not the same company. I guess just the classic generational wealth to winemaking pipeline.) It was a helpful introduction to both the Carhartt wines and Los Olivos, and Jack was good company. I said Carhartt was the least impressive of the wineries we visited, but it's also worth noting that it had the lowest price point. Carhartt isn't gunning for Robert Parker ratings. The wines are accessible and tasty, and I have a feeling we'll go through our bottles very fast.

This place has everything you'd hope for in a wine tasting experience: cozy, welcoming atmosphere and everyone is genuinely cheerful from the moment you walk in. Owner-operated by Mike and Brooke, alongside their son, Chase -- they truly are the heart and soul of the winery. The entire staff are warm, attentive, incredibly knowledgeable, and so friendly it feels like you're visiting old friends rather than a tasting room. Even better, they stay open later than many spots in town, making it the perfect place to linger, unwind, and savor the experience just a little longer. Every detail is meticulous, from the beautiful atmosphere in their back patio to the way they guide you through each pour. They take the time to explain the wines without ever making you feel rushed, and their passion shows in every conversation. An experience defined by outstanding service, lovely wines, and a warm, easygoing vibe. And as an added bonus, they're wonderfully dog-friendly -- making it even more welcoming for everyone. Overall, it's hands-down the best place in Los Olivos. It's definitely my go-to whenever I'm in town, and I genuinely look forward to visiting a few times a year. Carhartt Family Wines never disappoints -- it's an experience as wonderful as the wine itself.

    We were in Los Olivos this past weekend and visited Stolpman on Saturday for a leisurely afternoon…read moretasting. I booked our spot in advance and would recommend you do the same. The place is casual and not tiny, but it definitely fills up. I don't think they were taking walk-ins while we were there. The tasting room--or tasting patio, I suppose--was really pleasant, a breezy outdoor space in front of a charming brick-red house with a strong Los Olivos aesthetic. My only complaint is that the bathroom was a porta-potty, though it was the nice kind, with running water. We got our own table and a friendly, knowledgeable young server brought us our wines and explained what we were drinking. He was busy, so this was one of the less in-depth tastings we did on this trip, but the experience was easy and enjoyable. There were two tastings on offer, the classic estate flight and the "fresh and esoteric." Since this was our first visit, we both went with the estate, and it was a great introduction to Stolpman's wines. We tried the 2025 Sauvignon Blanc, the 2024 Chenin Blanc, the 2024 La Cuadrilla, the 2023 Sangiovese, and the 2024 Angeli, the label's flagship Syrah. They were all excellent and very well priced--the Cuadrilla goes for $26. It's also a delicious wine with a cool provenance, a red blend made by Stolpman's vineyard workers on a designated block, in what looks to be a successful profit sharing project. The tasting fee was $25, waived with a three-bottle purchase. We snapped up three each of the Sauvignon Blanc and the Sangiovese, which cost $24 and $36 a bottle. Tremendous value for such outstanding wines. I have a feeling we'll go through these quickly, and may be tempted to join the wine club if we do. Either way, though, I hope to go back to Stolpman. I'm definitely curious about that second tasting.

We first discovered their wines at a local coffee shop back home in San Diego, so when we realized they were based in Los Olivos, we knew we had to stop on our trip. The tasting room is stylish, warm, and inviting. It has that modern, researched, intentional look I gravitate toward in wine brands. I also love that they source their grapes locally and offer light, refreshing chillable reds and natural wines. Their chillable Pinot Noir was such a pleasant surprise -- I don't usually like traditional Pinot, but this one was vibrant, fresh, and so easy to drink. I had a great conversation with the server about the wines I enjoy, how the wine industry is shifting, and the growing appeal of refreshing, bright, natural‑leaning wines.

This place was recommended to us by Gary Burke, owner of Costa de Oro Winery in Santa Maria, and uncle to Jessica Gasca (Story of Soil's owner/winemaker).

The tasting room is quaint/comfortable, and there's a nice outdoor seating area. Brendon poured for us and was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about what we were tasting and the whole operation. Their wines are not 100% natural, but they like the "low intervention" approach. I would describe the wines generally as dry, crisp, and on the lighter body side. They're not your typical big, oaky, California wines, but much more elegant. We tasted and purchased a '23 Sauvignon Blanc, a '22 Grenache, a '21 Syrah, and a '21 GSM. Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet Jessica on our visit, but we'll be heading back for a return visit soon, so maybe we'll get to see and chat with her this time. I'll be able to provide an update shortly.

It's windy, narrow, and steep. Poor June was car sick from the drive. While the drive had some great views, we were anxious to get to Cambria. Upon arrival we noticed that the tasting room was uphill from the vineyards, providing a great view. I will say that the tasting room was cut into a little crevice so the views from the deck are limited. However, there is a beautiful private tasting area on a hill (when you turn into the winery parking lot) that would be a fantastic spot for good views. The wine was nice, plenty of variety.

We'd had one of the pinots at a fancy restaurant a few years back and knew the place had a good reputation. We also appreciated the easy walk-in situation on a Saturday afternoon. The tasting room was casual and charming, part "mercantile," selling wine, of course, and sundry gift items and home goods. There was plentiful seating, some of it at the bar and some of it in what felt like a large living room, homily decorated with lots of art on the walls. It was pretty busy while we were there, but not in the least bit crowded. We sat at the bar, which was run by an enormous former football player (if I eavesdropped correctly) and a woman from New Zealand on the verge of retirement. I'd watch that movie. We were helped by the woman, who was friendly and knowledgeable, a great guide to the house wines. The flight started with the 2025 Rosé of Mourvédre, then went to Liquid Farm's Chardonnays and Pinots. There was the 2024 White Hill Chardonnay, the 2024 Golden Slope Chardonnay, the 2023 "SBC" Pinot Noir, the 2023 Fiddlestix Pinot Noir, and the 2023 Four Pinot Noir. The wines were fantastic across the board. The tasting fee was $40, on the steep side, probably because the space invites casual drinking. It was easily waived, with one flight waived per two bottles purchased. The wines were all between $30 and $94, so this was easy math. The kind of easy math that had us leaving Los Olivos with a trunk--and back seat--full of wine. We picked up a White Hill Chardonnay, an "SBC" Pinot, and two of the Fiddlestix, a prime haul that we look forward to drinking.
