    Wow!!! Wow!! What an incredible experience! First time in Santa Barbra and we decided to come on over to Pali wine for celebrate to my cousin's bday and this was a great choice. The service and wine sections were superb! The vibes A1! And let me not forget to mention Eric! He was so extremely kind, thoughtful and hospitable!! We can't thank him enough for making our time here so memorable. Highly recommend Pali Wine!

    I came here for a wine tasting during a couples trip to Santa Barbara. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with choosing what tasting to choose. Located in an excellent location just a short walk from my hotel. We really enjoyed our time at Pali Wine Co. I recommend giving them a try!

    We've been here for 2 times and loved it both times. We enjoyed both indoor and outdoor. My daughter loved their live music and ambience, always look around the place fascinating. The servers were all very welcoming and friendly; never felt pressured or rushed into ordering (or leaving). They're also attentive to make sure we have everything we need. Wine selections are great; we suggest starting with their frozen red wines then a bottle of wine to your liking. Both times we went, they ran out of food which was disappointing. However, they did say it's ok to order takeouts to drink and eat there. We do wish that they have more than one restroom though, because the line can get very long sometimes. Other than that, great experience overall.

    Wine was good, reasonable price. Place was great, very cute outdoor! Service was okay too.

    Full disclosure. I once wrote an article on Pali Wine when they first got started many years ago and have become a fan ever since. They have excellent Pinots and interesting white blends. They expanded since then, but haven't lost their quality. In Santa Barbara's Funk Zone, they have a lovely spot to sample wines, hang out in their lovely patio with a single glass, and listen to music at times. We did a Rhone style wine sampler, with 2 whites and 3 reds-- all were very nice. I also sampled some excellent red blends. Our host was super nice and helpful. You can also order some snacks. This is a fun spot to hang out while you're walking around the Funk Zone.

    Stopped by with some friends that wanted to try the wine flights. While I'm not a big wine drinker, I thought the slushy was pretty tasty. Based on the reactions of the people I was with, the other wine here was pretty tasty, too! Our server was knowledgeable of the wines available and made sure everyone got something to fit their flavor profile. With ample outdoor (covered) seating, room at the bar, and a friendly staff, stop by if you have the chance!

    Chill winery with nice ambiance in the middle of the funk zone. Was easy to order up front and find some nice seating. Flights were heavy on the Pinot noir spectrum, but I was not mad because they were all delicious. Wish I had time to bring home a bottle!

    This beautifully decorated wine tasting location was perfect for a girls' trip. The lighting in the afternoon is ideal for pictures. The wine selection for the tasting was excellent, offering a variety of choices from chilled to red wines. The servers were pleasant and allowed all the parties to fully enjoy their time without rushing them.

    Definitely worth visiting when you're in Santa Barbara! It is noted to be one of the top few places in the winery website! The service here is really great as well as they explain to you which flight is best for your pallet! I definitely recommend sitting outside as you can enjoy the nice Santa Barbara breeze and the greenery! I went with the neighborhood winery flight which has all the natural wines and everything is so light and airy one thing I would know as any winery places they have very limited food selection and as to note, they are also very overpriced.

    I was able to book a reservation for a bachelorette party here for 9 people whcih was ideal since a lot of the other wineries around here don't take reservations. Our servers were attentive and they have an extensive list of regular wine and then also wine flights. The don't have food but have smaller bites like hummus and pita chips. They have a variety of wine that everyone will like and this is the perfect place for a warm summer day. Get the frose if they have it- so good!!

    Cute spot, yummy wine! This was a fun stop during a girls day in Santa Barbara. We sat outside and everyone in my party ordered a flight, which we all enjoyed. Our waitress was super nice and we had great service. Would recommend Pali Wine.

    Place is so cute! It was pretty busy when we went. Majority of seating is outside but we were lucky & there were openings inside which we preferred bc of the AC lol. There was a live band when we went & it really set the ambiance. We got the frose & a flight - drinks were really good & it was hot outside so the frose was perfect! We wished they offered food or small snacks but there are tons of restaurants around which was nice.

    All natural wine.

    Our favorite wine tasting stop in Santa Barbara's Funk Zone. The patio was light, white, and bright! And the awning kept out the heat of the sun while we relaxed and sipped our wine tasting. We got the Neighborhood Winery Flight, which is all natural wine, (pictured, $30), and the staff led us through how to do the tasting, and gave us a card that described each wine. We also got the hummus - which seemed to be homemade. It was garlicy and delicious. We were also thrilled that the patio is dog friendly! A great stop. We will be back.

It was toward the end of the day. A little tasting before dinner never hurts anyone. Plus it was nice to share the experience with some friends that haven't been before. Perfect day to sit outside with the heatwave. Also nice to start with a little bubbly. Their wine selections from Sonoma and Napa as well the coast were all amazing. We did the sunset sip which their wine offering was great. All their white, red as well as rose and bubbles were great. Rich bold and full of notes. The place is perfect as it located right in the heart of town. Just minutes from the pier and part of the hotel. So people watching is great. They also serve food which comes from the restaurant next door. A snack with your tasting or a pairing. Each visit has always been great. A nice relaxing and mellow tasting experience. The choices of wine are always excellent. Plus it's nice to taste other wines from the sister wineries versus wine just from one. Casey, took good care of us this time.

    This really is the perfect place for both wine AND food…read more So far we've been in a couple times sitting in the bar area and also out on their comfy patio space. Our servers Alex and Kayla were exceptional at both suggesting some delicious lunch items, and also giving a rundown on their different wine tastings. They gave us some helpful information on the assorted varietals and vintages as well. We went in specifically for their M5 and Riviera Rose, but discovered their extensive selection of other varietals and vintages. Came away with some new favorites: Sauvignon Blanc, Trois Blondes (a delicious white blend), Viognier, Mourvedre, and Estate Syrah. Perfect that they open at noon for lunch. We paired our wines with their Santa Barbara Smokehouse Salmon, Smoked Duck and Arugula Salad, Chicken Pesto Sandwich, and Sausage Mushroom & Carmelized Onion Pizza. Still so much on their menu to enjoy.

    I'm giving this place 3 stars because of the efforts of one server to keep things afloat outside…read more When we arrived, another large party had just left outside and she immediately cleaned one of their tables so we could sit. It was chilly so she tried to light the heat lamp at my request but both that one and the replacement did not work. The replacement actually had the propane disconnected so I assume someone knew that tank needed to be changed out but didn't do it. The other tables from the large party were full of wine glasses and a half eaten pizza. Those sat there for over an hour, and we watched several groups of people come but leave without being seated because no server was available yo seat them and the only open table hadn't been cleared. When it was finally cleared, one guest at a near by table commented that the pizza shouldn't go to waste. The girl who cleared the table initially carried it inside but came right back out with it and served it to that guest whose kid ate it. I'm all for not wasting food and if the guest had gotten up and grabbed the pizza himself, that would be one thing... but to serve old food that had been sitting out for a long time to a guest is a no no for a business. We otherwise enjoyed most of the wines in our tasting flight. Would've given 5 stars if service had been more timely, tables cleared and old food not served up.

And all nestled nicely between Highway 101 and Cabrillo Blvd, and between Garden Street and State Street. Can't even start with what my favorite spots are, I find a new one each time I visit.

We've been there when it's busy and it can be festive-- pop ups in old vintage rv's or outside beer halls can appear; bands playing in several spots, etc. Experiences can be hit or miss. We visited a winery called Area 51 which sounded fun, but the wines were just okay. But Pali Wine had very good wines, a relaxing patio, and cool live music. The stores vary from very pricey threads to affordable knick knacks; succulents to vintage records to original artwork. Many spaces occupy previously owned old businesses that give it a nostalgic feeling. A few top name wineries have spaces here (i.e. Fess Parker). Definitely worth checking out in looking for a unique time in Santa Barbara.

This feels more like a busy Friday night where people were camping without ordering wine and didn't love being reminded that a wine bar is, indeed, for drinking wine.
