    Super cool owner Lenny!
    Caro F.

    Came today and did a mixed tasting flight for $25. Two whites and three reds. Everything was good! We were helped by owner Lenny who is super personable and friendly! Tasting room is super cute and perfect for enjoying the wines.

    Wine list of Varietals Selection

    Skyenna Wine Lounge is a must if you're visiting from out of town, or a local who has yet to visit this place. They specialize in Rhone varietals from Santa Barbara County. The best part is the location! It's a few steps away from our lovely beach. You have the option of sitting outside on the deck to take in the views, while sipping on some wine. Or plant yourself at the wine bar and enjoy the plush velvet chairs, while interacting with Mickey if you're here on a Thursday. The inside has been remodeled, and has an open airy feeling. It's a beautiful glamorous feeling when you walk in, yet it still has a casual atmosphere. Either way, you can come here dressed up for a special occasion, or in your beach attire. You will have a wonderful time tasting their amazing wines if doing a flight tasting, or just a glass if that's your preference. They also share space with a local artist, who has a great display of unique paintings. Great for photo ops while sipping wine. My favorite wine is the Malbec, and it seems to be the most popular since it's always sold out by the time I make it here. Ask to try some if it's available! On my latest visit, Mickey introduced me to the Syrah. It had flavors of red and black fruits, with hints of pepper and spice. It wasn't too peppery though. It was a nice full bodied Syrah. I loved it! I also tried the "No Label" Rosè. I'm picky when it comes to Rosè, and this one was perfect! Not too sweet, and had a nice fruity flavor. Thank you Mickey for sharing your knowledge on the wines offered here! I appreciate learning more on new wines that I try. Overall, this is a great place to add to your bookmarks if you love wine tasting!

    Good wine! Great time! Couldn't leave beautiful Santa Barbara without doing some wine tasting. My family and I took a walk after eating at Bluewater grill. We were looking at the shops and came across this cute wine tasting room. It's a small, yet inviting place. The decor is cool and their seating areas are comfortable. The decor will spark fun conversation. The seating area is set up so you and your friends have your own little area while tasting the wine. The owner is very friendly and genuinely wants his customers to enjoy their visit. The tasting flights includes a variety of wines. There is something for every palette. My favorite was our first white wine. It was the 2021 Viognier. It was crisp, clear amd dry. Not sweet at all. I ended up buying a bottle of this one. My second favorite was the 2020 Syrah. A smooth dry wine that relaxes your mind and body. I pictured myself drinking this in front of my fireplace. Third on the list was the 2020 Grenache. I enjoyed sipping while also enjoying a fun conversation with my family. A must try when you are in Santa Barbara.

    Really great wine, nice atmosphere. Service was good but not particularly explanatory. Extremely small wine pours on a tasting, from my experience.

    Skyenna Wine Lounge is one of my favorite places in The Funk Zone. They recently renovated the location and it looks amazing inside. The wine is some of the best in the area and i highly recommend stopping in for a tasting to find out what's your favorite. Personally, I enjoy the the 2020 Anastasia GSM. Locally owned and friendly service, you're sure to enjoy your trip to Skyenna, whatever the occasion!

    Great conversation with Mickie A Abby F Ben S Ronnie S Happy Thursday
    Ronnie S.

    After our Holiday party at Bill Foley's The Society event. We made plans to meet at Skyenna Wines with Mickie on Thursday. We met Abby followed by her husband Ben. When I arrived I spotted my Friend and local hardworking celebrity Madalena "Maddy " Fossatti. It was fun hanging out with Maddy and Mickie. When Abby and Ben arrived there was an uptick in the Energy. What a Wonderful afternoon. Thanks to everyone who made the day so Special! Ronnie S

    Loved the motorcycle and other eclectic decor and artwork.

    Located a block from State St. and the Santa Barbara Pier, you'll find a funky little Bohemian wine establishment called Skyenna Wine Lounge. We stopped in at the end of a long day of tastings, so we just shared a 5 pour mixed tasting of 2 whites ('20 Sauvignon Blanc and a '20 Viognier) and 3 reds ('20 Grenache, '19 Tempranillo, and '20 Cab. Sauvignon). Lenny, Skyenna's winemaker, poured for us and was an amazing host. We sat by ourselves in the far back of the lounge while he had a tasting bar full of people at the other end of the building. That didn't stop him from spending plenty of time with us discussing his wines and our interests. The wines we tasted were light to medium bodied and quite flavorful. If you're hungry or just want to create your own food/wine pairing experience, you can order food from the neighboring Italian restaurant, Lucky Penny. Definitely worth your time to stop in and experience Skyenna's cool vibe atmosphere and Lenny's wines.

    Pretty labels!

    Had a fantastic tasting last night at this hidden gem of a tasting room in the funk zone. This is one of my new favorite spots for sure and I will definitely be adding it to my recommendation list. Looking at their wine club options I may even be a new member soon. The music they were playing the ambience and art was all awesome. It had an almost speakeasy vibe heading upstairs off of an unassuming alley. The bar had a couple spots where you could look out to the ocean and the windows letting in the fresh ocean breeze. What really made everyone's experience here fantastic was the awesome bartender Mickey! Very knowledgeable and friendly while also remaining professional. It felt like hanging out in someone's living room and doing a full wine tasting presentation. The whole bar was very friendly and intimate.

    Is the tasting room dog friendly?

    When we visited there was one dog who came in. The owner of the tasting room did not say anything about the dog, but the couple who brought the dog seemed to be regulars.

    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.

    Formerly Area 5.1, now under new ownership and fully owning its glow-up…read more Orgullo Wine is Latino-owned, community-rooted, and brings a lively, welcoming energy to the Funk Zone. The aesthetic is intentional and well done. Mexican icons on the walls, thoughtful decor throughout, and fresh flower centerpieces that quietly say someone here actually cares. It feels curated, not forced. I've seen a review floating around claiming Angel is rude, which hasn't matched my experience at all. Every interaction I've had has been professional and friendly. 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. Wine + service * Tasting flights are $25 and well curated * They occasionally offer two-for-one wine flights * Small-batch wines produced in the Santa Ynez Valley by Esfuerzo Wines * Standout favorites include the Coyote Rojo Bordeaux-style blend & the Sauvignon Blanc is crisp, refreshing, and easy to love * Marissa, one of the tasting associates, is consistently hospitable and attentive and makes the experience feel effortless Vibe and events * Fridays feature Lotería with a DJ from 6-10pm * Lively without being chaotic * A solid mix of locals, regulars, and people actually there for the wine If you're looking for good wine, a fun atmosphere, and a Funk Zone spot that blends culture with care, Orgullo Wine is doing it right. Order wine, enjoy the space, and let the night unfold.

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.
