    Rincon Mountain Winery Tasting Room is an awesome spot in Carpinteria for getting together with friends and drinking great wine! All the wines are amazing and you're sure to find the wine you enjoy the most. For first timers I definitely recommend getting the flight. The service is amazing and they'll give you the background on each wine the pour and how it's made to give it their unique flavors. The setup of the place also has a beach town feel. Located right next to the salt marsh, it's a the perfect spot to meet up with friends.

    This family owned winery has delicious wine and great vibes. I even joined their wine club. If your in Carpinteria or on 101 stop by and give them try. They have an amazing vinyl collection and the wine is local and delicious.

    This winery has some great tasting reds! I especially enjoyed their Estate Tempranillo. It was full bodied, earthy and had notes of vanilla, cherries and chocolate. What more could a girl ask for in wine. The Syrah had notes of lavender, violet and grapes. A little drier, but still left a nice finish on the palette. Thanks to my friend who has a membership here; I was fortunate to visit their private Mountain top winery. Unfortunately, it is members only that have access to this beautiful place. The views at the top are priceless! Between the coastal views and the breathtaking Mountain View's, it really felt surreal. The grounds provide plenty of seating, an outside kitchen area for those who want to bring their own food, or you can order pizza ahead of time. The pizza is made in their wood burning oven, and delicious! There's so many good things to say about this winery, but I will wrap it up by saying my visit left me wanting a membership here. I can't wait to return!

    We have found this place to be The best tasting room! People are amazing. Highly recommend!

    A friend who is a member took me here for wine tasting and if I wasn't planning on getting pregnant soon, I would've gotten a membership! The wine is superb and I enjoyed all of the tastings we had. I appreciated the charcuterie box (which was extra) and was pleasantly surprised when i learned it was locally crafted. The place itself was so charming! A whole wall full of vintage vinyls and wonderful music playing throughout our time there. There are also games to play in the back room. Just a great place to relax, catch up with a friend, and taste great wine.

    View driving up- my poor photography does it little justice.

    This place is truly special! The wine is amazing and high quality and the beer perfect! The owners are super friendly and personable. They treat every visitor like a VIP. The ocean views from the ranch itself is a must see! I cannot recommend this place more! Also- they have the best brick oven pizza, ever. Definitely try it, you can thank me later!

    While there is a Rincon Mountain Winery tasting room located in downtown Carpinteria, I will be transparent in admitting that I have not been. However, I did receive a special invitation to an exclusive, members-only release party at Rincon Mountain Winery's property. The remote vineyard resides amongst the countless avocado and lemon orchards on top of Rincon Mountain. The property overlooks the coastal towns of Carpinteria and Santa Barbara, with unexpected summer heat similar to that of Ojai. I had the pleasure to meet the winemaker, Edward Darren, who studied Enology at Cal Poly and his in-laws. The parents-in-laws spoiled us by tossing homemade, deliciously fresh pizzas in a mobile stone pizza oven. My group purchased several bottles that included their Dusty Vinyl (GSM) and Ranch Rules (40% Barbera, 40% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre), while tasting a few other wines offered. If you couldn't tell already by our selection, I like big red wines! All of the wines we enjoyed immensely with plenty of body, medium tannins and acidity, and gorgeous color. Not to mention, the property has the perfect angle to take in a winter sunset like nowhere else I've seen on the Central Coast. Everyone was extremely hospitable, knowledgeable and made it a pleasure to visit. What more could I ask for?! Fabulous wine, company, food, AND views!! Pre-Covid Rincon Mountain Winery used to host local bands and other public events at their vineyard, however, these have since been suspended. For the time being, they offer small private group tours of their small production. Almost all of their wine is sourced from California's Paso Robles/Creston wine regions, however, they soon plan to offer estate wines *fingers crossed*. I truly believe they have found a 'needle in a haystack' with the perfect terrain and microclimate to grow and produce their own Bordeaux varietals. After my visit to the vineyard, I can't wait to check out their tasting room in Carpinteria and take a few bottles home for my collection. Cheers!

    I like to support local businesses as much as possible. When my bestie invited me to join him to their pick up event I obliged. Let me set the scene first. You drive up a windy road to reach their venue and with a beautiful view of Carp and SB, both mountain and ocean. During sun set, the ocean glimmers as the sun is descending. So magical. During their pick up parties, the owners and family members make and serve homemade pizza. Now that was enough to win me over! Lol... As you wait for your pizza, they take your wine order to consume while there. Mind you I'm not a wine connoisseur, but the Dusty Vinyl that was served was exquisite and buttery. Pizza, good wine, and amazing ambiance made for a spectacular tasting event. As I've mentioned previously, I like to support local businesses. The family that own and run this winery are truly good people. They took time after their event to introduce us to their own collection of wines and offered us a history of their property. With a cumulation of things, their willingness to share their love of wine making and serving the community is what sold me. I've interacted with Jill, but mostly Christian at their brick and mortar tasting room. When there, they are always so welcoming and treat you like you are their long lost friend. This establishment is a breathe of fresh air. I encourage anyone and everyone to visit their shop and try their wines. I'm sold and will be a long time customer.

    Rincon Mountain Winery is the best winery my husband and I have ever been to. We had so much fun wine tasting and even took a bottle home. We loved how there's so much rich family history tied into the location and wine, which makes this location unique and cozy. The location is beautiful, the wine was nothing short of amazing, and we both had such a wonderful time! There is a bathroom a few doors down (you need a pin code to get in) and there was ample parking in the back. We will definitely be back in the near future for more wine, wonderful music, and fun vibes!

    The cool and modern tasting room up front

    Carpenteria is such a great little town, we are always looking for another reason to head down that way. And, now we have it. In addition to the 3 breweries and the mead/cider house, Carp is now home to a full fledged winery tasting room! Rincon Mountain Winery is operating a modern and spacious tasting room that sports a bit of a music theme up front and has a great open, indoor space in the back. Located on the Near end of Carpinteria Ave (nearer to Santa Barbara ) the area may be industrial but it's getting a good reputation for quality places to imbibe :-) The wines poured are all estate wines though for the time being they are all from the family's vineyards in Paso Robles. No matter, the quality is there and the vineyards up on the mountain have all been replanted with Pinot Noir so that should be excellent when those vines begin producing. At the Paso vineyards they are growing quality Rhône and Spanish varietals as well a few others that do well in that region. We particularly enjoyed the "LuLu" and " Dusty Vinyl" red Rhône blends :-). We'll definitely be adding Rincon Mountain to our regular stops list whenever we are in Carpinteria, they're definitely doing it right :-)

    Easily my favorite tasting room in greater SB. I found this place the day I moved into my new house and became a member in between loading/unloading belongings. Great variety of wines, friendly staff, and a beautifully done tasting room with a vinyl accent wall. If you're a member, you get 4 free tastings anytime you stop in (don't forget to tip!) and they have quarterly pick up parties on Rincon Mountain with fantastic views

The interior look is modern, unpretentious casual. Bright with lots of natural light. But if you're looking for a TV, they don't have any. The vibe is chill, unpretentious, welcoming, and family friendly. Family friendly bar?!? No, kids aren't allowed at the counter but are allowed on the outside patio and well as leashed dogs. The patio seating is tables and bench seating. The bar menu has draft beers, local wines. and canned drinks. They have flights. While partaking in a drink at the bar, you can even eat your Dang's food at the bar as well. The bartender was a sweetheart. Engaging with a great attitude. And may I add, she isn't a wimp. When there were no customers at the bar, she was stacking and moving drink boxes. Getting business done.

I enjoyed my first Grüner Veltliner white wine, 2024 Grunay (a hint of sweetness yet still crisp to the tongue and a light body). I also enjoyed their Tempranillo red wine, 2023 Taransay (well balanced medium body, slightly on the drier side but not too much, and had some nice tannins), this is the full glass I ordered after the tasting. I was not a fan of the 2021 Soay (Red Blend of 70% Granache, 15% Petit Verdot and 15% Petit Syrah) - I really wanted to like it as I typically like this blend, however there was a strange aftertaste that reminded me of water that was rinsed in dried rice. From 4PM - 6PM on Saturdays and Sundays, there is a local musician. Today was a singer-songwriter who played both acoustic and electric guitar and was accompanied by a lovely bass guitar player. They performed a few lighter versions of rock music and a handful of originals. Overall, great value and good music.
