They don't serve food, but they welcome you to bring your own, and there's a food truck plus restaurants right across the street, so you're covered. The real highlight was the bartender.

My husband loved it so much that we stopped back on our way home to grab a growler and a 4-pack to bring to his dad. That says it all. We'll absolutely be back.

We have heard nothing but good things and they were all correct. We live within easy walking distance so we took a nice little walk. As we entered there was music playing on a record player which was great and the shop was set up nice and neat with a welcoming bar or tables to take a seat. We were instantly greeted by Mark and asked what brought us in today. We let him know we wanted to do a tasting and he let us know that his selection today was from Thatcher. There was a rose and a few red blends and a Syrah. All very tasty. Mark was educated and well informed in the blender and his styles and profiles as well as the offerings and gave us notes with each pour and answered any questions. Wine isn't all available there was beers on tap as well as some non-alcohol options. We ordered a small charcuterie plate which for the price at a small wine bar was good and above what I expected. We through conversations with Mark mentioned we wanted to have our ballroom dance instructor at Allure Ballroom to do a wine and dance social cause the businesses are so close and Mark said oh I could easily host it here and move some tables we've done events before. So... That being said stay tuned I have Marks card and will be talking to Yvette at Allure Ballroom to see if we can arrange a local ball room and wine social. The music played was great easy light classic rock and the clientele was friendly and good to converse with as we shared a few drinks and snacks. This will definitely be a normal outing for us and hopefully we can get a great local old Orcutt business co-op event going. If you haven't stopped in and seen Mark Steller who lives up to his name. Do it sooner than later. Great business and great wines and beer... Oh they even had a cider on tap.

The building is from 1917 and you can feel it everywhere.... dark wood, stained glass, a ship model in a glass case, an old house telephone booth, a hand-painted figurehead hanging from the ceiling holding lanterns. It's not trying to be charming, it just is. The tri-tip sliders and pretzel bites were so good I forgot to take a picture before they were gone (especiallythe tri tip sliders). Happy hour pricing made the whole thing even better. Seriously, if you're anywhere near Santa Maria, make the drive. I'll definitely be back and I'm a little annoyed it took me this long to find it! Tim the bartender was also outstanding. Friendly, warm and informative and of course a great bartender.

I gave 3 stars because I got a decent glass of wine for a fair price. Here's my gripe - I'm not a big fan of the automated guest checks that figure what your tip should be 15%, 20%, 25% or more - T.I.P. = to insure promptness. But when I got my guest check from these guys the automated/suggested tip amount(s) were not based on the cost of the purchase alone "glass of wine" but on that cost plus the California Sales Tax. Isn't it bad enough that if I buy a six pack of beer at the local liquor store that the governor is drinking one of my beers - do I have to pay a tip on the tax too? May seem insignificant to some but it does add up and more importantly it is not right and somewhat deceptive. read more

The bartender was really on top of things, and I could tell he really knew what he was doing. I asked to taste a couple of the reds, and when he didn't have one downstairs, he poured me a taste of another Pinot Noir to sip while he ran upstairs to get the one I'd asked about. They serve many good wines, both very local and from other California regions. Some of the interesting local ones include a few varietals from the local Allan Hancock community college's viniculture program. The Allan Hancock ($9/glass) 2023 Pinot Noir was pretty impressive! Fruity and young. I also very much enjoyed the Kleemeier (also Santa Barbara County) 2024 Pinot Noir, which belied its young age in the best way ($12/ glass).

This was our first visit to this rustic tasting room, and we had a nice experience. It was a Friday, right after opening, and we had the whole place to ourselves. The service was friendly, and my wife and I shared a traditional and custom flight. We thought that the wines were decent, some better suited to our palates than others, but well-made, nonetheless. We were fortunate to meet and speak with the owner who happened to be bringing in supplies and got a little more detail on the wines, than we did from our "winerista". He also mentioned that his niece opened a winery in Los Olivos (Story of Soil), which focused on wine styles a little out of our wheelhouse, but we thought we'd give that a try as well, and it turned out to be a fantastic recommendation. Costa De Oro is a nice place with wine varietals for everyone's tastes. I recommend you stop in and give them a try when you're passing through the area.

Jordan the owner was working and he made for an awesome fun experience. Also this man is a master of his craft and has officially made the first wine that stopped me in my tracks and made me exclaim "oooooh I really like that". The 2020 Vinfarm Cuvee was the first time I just instantly loved the mouth feel, the palate and finish of a wine. Not to knock any of the other wines the Syrah was delectable with slight hints of oak and beautiful sweet fruit notes. The tasting room is clean neat and comfortable. Plenty of seating and great ambiance. I was able to discuss wine and ask all of my uneducated questions. My experience is in bourbon and whiskey and Jordan engaged in conversation and was able to help me reach relationships between the two industries to make the approach to a wine tasting smooth and comfortable. Jordan has a knack for breaching the traditional at times blending his wines to please a modern and vintage palate. If you have not tried El Viñero I suggest you do now. Joining the wine club wasn't even a question we left the tasting room with a club membership and 5 bottles of wine and a super awesome candle.
