    Single Fin was my personal favorite

    Loved the mead and ciders we tried here! Nice staff and comfortable atmosphere. We had a mead each, split a flight, and mixed up some 4 packs to bring home and share with friends.

    Visiting Santa Barbara, I was thrilled at the opportunity to take my beer drinking husband to a meadery! High Seas Mead opened at 5:00 on Friday and we were there minutes later. Located in a dicey industrial area, I would not have walked here alone at night. But having my favorite 6 ft 2 designated driver along made this a very fun experience. Our bartender Devin was very patient and explained all of the ciders and meads available to try that night. Neither of us was very familiar with mead, although I drink a lot of cider. I tend to enjoy the dry ciders and tried samples of several that were in stock. But I can get cider anywhere ! So of course I ordered a flight of mead. I chose four flavors from six available, all lightly carbonated and dry (to me). Just because it's made of fermented honey doesn't mean it's super sweet. I loved the names of these beverages, super fun and creative! I have to say I'm still torn between the cosmic bandito and the cheap thrills, both had some berry flavor and a bit sweeter. The meadacolada and mystic vibrations were very light. All were packing a decent 7 percent punch. Like a strong beer. But gluten free. Although my husband tasted all, and liked one, I got pretty toasted trying to finish four pours. I accepted a generous offer of sparkling water (apparently no tap or still water flowing that night), and took a trip to their clean and cutely decorated potty before I could finish the flight. I ended up buying four cans to go. Our hotel fridge was small, but we had a whole week left on our vacation and a cooler, so I took them with us when we went to our next beach town. I will be looking for these babies in the store now when I get home to AZ! Bravo High Seas Mead!

    What a lovely find this was! While walking around the Funk Zone, we heard some amazing live music coming from High Seas and the neighboring wine place. We wanted to stick around and enjoy the music so we got a mead and a cider and sat on the patio. What a lovely time we had! Everyone working was so kind. My cider was delicious. My husband enjoyed his mead but it's definitely more of an acquired taste. The vibes were just so great. A picture perfect warm winter night on the central coast

    Delicious mead, very friendly people. It opened recently so there aren't a ton of reviews yet. Definitely a hidden gem.

I love the way it feels here, it's super casual and nicely decorated, it's a cozy vibe. Service was awesome! We couldn't decide on what we wanted so we sampled a few different ones before deciding on our choices. I love the names! Their processing of the ciders are on not on the sweet end. Resting Beach Face - Hibiscus Berry Tea - This was one of the sweeter ones and it was good. It wasn't as sweet as expected. BOT - Blood Orange Tea - this was pretty good, but the blood Orange flavor didn't really stand out. I had originally wanted to try the Apple Pie Cider because it sounds amazing but they didn't have it at the time we were there. Parking can be limited. The night we were there, they had a taco truck. Super convenient! Recommended!

    Great spot! Loved both the wine and the friendly service. Took two bottles home after our tasting.read more

    Tasting Flights: $25 (waived with a 2-bottle purchase). Beer tasting flight: $20…read more This was only our second visit to Rincon Mountain's tasting room, but the experience was just as wonderful as the first time. This is a family owned/operated wine and beer tasting room located in Carpinteria, with their vineyards located on nearby Rincon Mountain and in Paso Robles. Cool vibe entry area, with a large, garage-like back room and outdoor tasting areas. Parking available both on street and in a private lot in back. WINES: We were fortunate to have Jill, co-owner with her husband Edward, pour for us and the service was excellent. We tried 5 wines from the tasting menu, a '22 Storytime Rosè, '22 Susie Q (white Rhone blend), 2020 Dusty Vinyl (Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre red blend), '19 Tempranillo, and a '19 Monk (Bordeaux red blend). In addition, Jill also poured us a '22 Syrah. Again, all the wines were well-made and flavorful. We took advantage of the waived tasting fee and took several bottles home with us. You can also purchase wines by the glass or enjoy a bottle onsite. BEER: New since our last visit, Jill and Edward decided to brew beer, so we also decided to share a tasting. All ingredients are grown on their property and they're currently pouring a Lu Lu Lager, a Monk's Ration (Belgian Ale), and a Sal's Stout. The pours are generous and easily enough for two people to share a tasting. We're not huge beer fans, but these, especially the lager and the ale, were so refreshing and full of flavor. They're sold in 750ml bottles, and we took a couple of these home as well. I highly recommend a visit to Rincon Mountain Winery's tasting room. You won't be disappointed!
