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. Such a fun, thoughtful, dog‑friendly spot in Los Olivos. Would absolutely return.

If you're a fan of Rhône style wines, this is absolutely a spot worth visiting. In my opinion,…read moreAndrew Murray makes some of the best Syrah in Santa Barbara County. Just a heads up, if you're looking for lighter, more delicate reds, this probably isn't your tasting room. The focus here is definitely on bigger, richer wines, although they also make a fantastic Chardonnay. The property is beautiful, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and overall it was a really enjoyable tasting experience. I'm not sure I'll be joining the wine club, but I'd definitely come back for another visit. My only minor suggestion is that some of the younger Syrahs would benefit from a bit more air before being poured. The current releases are still quite young, and when a bottle has only been open for a few minutes, the wines can come across as more closed than they really are. Given a little time in the glass, they become much more expressive and show a lot more of their character. That small critique aside, the wines are excellent and this is definitely one of the better Rhône focused tasting experiences in the area.

Came in on a Friday early afternoon and had the best time because of the staff! We had plans to visit other wineries but pivoted once we realized how much we liked it there. We started with the Chip Tasting that pairs wine chips with their wine. The idea is fantastic but the chips were not our favorite. I would recommend a lighter crispier chip to pair with their amazing wines, these are too dense with fake flavors that tasted off. We had a cheese plate which was premade but still wonderful! Great cheeses and exactly what we needed to remove the memory of the chips. We bought a bottle and one of their candles poured into a wine bottle on our way out. It smells amazing! Beautiful property that can be seen from the windows inside the tasting room. Thanks again to the fellas working that day that made it so fun!

It's basically that now as we've been enjoying it for years and years. Each visit is alway nice. Right from driving through the gates and up the hill. The property is beautiful overlooking the valley from on top. Both indoor or outdoor seating available. This visit, it was somewhat chilly so everyone was indoor. It wasn't that busy when we arrived but alway so great to see familiar faces. The vibes always turns to hanging out with friends and catching up from the last time. And you can't forget the wines. Yes, that's the whole point of us visiting. Everything is alway refreshing and delicious. Of course that's bad in a sense as it goes down so well....lol... Some new releases are alway a good start. My group tends to stick to the reds but sometimes a white or rose comes into the pictures and makes a lasting impression. There's been loads of time when we stopped by and the patio is bustling with people and a live bands. Summer is approaching and the fun is about the start. Plus, lately it's alway been a miss with the members lounge. Either closed and this time it was reserved for a private event. Ugh sucks on our part I guess. Also, it's sad to hear that some familiar faces have moved on but those that are still there are amazing. Until Next time.

Wonderful vineyard! We stopped by here during our Solvang trip. It was my first time doing a wine…read moretasting so I specifically wanted a place that does wine flights. I liked the diversity of options because you could pick one of their flights or pick and choose wines to create your own flight. We came on a Monday morning right when they opened and sat outside. There were only two other parties so it was very calm outside. There was plenty of shade in their seating area so no need to worry about the heat. Since we made a reservation they gave us a nice paper that stated our party's name and a little congratulatory message since we were celebrating an occasion which was a sweet touch. For the fixed flights, they are 2 oz of wine each which isn't a whole lot, it's meant to be split between two people. I recommend bringing in your own snacks which is what we did because you will feel snackish drinking the wines! The server was kind and offered a lot of information about each wine that was served and was generally attentive to us. Overall, a good experience!
