    Bubbles Club

    Future Perfect is a happy place. They have rainbows and disco balls and excellent wine. We joined the Bubbles Club on our first visit. That is the club for sparkling wine. Their other wine club is fully subscribed but that's okay as I love sparkling wines the most. The tasting room manager and the wine maker are lovely people and make each visit special. If you need a happy, bubbly, stop, I'd definitely recommend Future Perfect.

    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 finally made it back and again, it did not disappoint! The food here is outstanding and so flavorful. This time I tried the seasonal pasta of the day. A roasted red pepper pasta with shrimp. The pasta was delicious and I especially enjoyed the roasted red pepper sauce. Made with fresh veggies like peppers and zucchini and the shrimp were nice and plump. I like how they didn't skimp on the number of shrimp in this dish. I also ordered their focaccia and dipping oil. The bread was nice and crusty on the outside yet maintained its softness on the inside. The dipping oil was amazing!! Our waiter said it's liquid gold and it truly is. It had a lemony vinegary taste to it and I absolutely loved it!! I could easily drink it because it's so good. A must order to start with. My friends ordered the cafe turkey sandwich. They both said it was tasty and it's also served on freshly baked focaccia bread. I tried the cucumber gazpacho my friend ordered and it was very refreshing. It reminded me of a cucumber Agua Fresca, but in a soup form. Just a little different though. On my previous visit, I've tried the burrata, pizza, little gem salad, and roasted radishes. Everything was delicious and flavorful. I haven't had anything bad here. Totally worth the visit if you're in the area. Customer service is friendly and they make you feel right at home here. I can't wait to come back already. I recommend you make a reservation if you want seating outside or in the front of the restaurant. We didn't have reservations and got seated in the back area. It was still nice, but would have preferred the front or outside. So plan ahead! Overall, my favorite restaurant in Los Olivos.

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. You can really feel their passion for what they do -- it comes through in the wine, the service, and the whole experience. My partner, my pup Enzo, and I had an amazing time stopping in for a glass.

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.
