The location is absolutely beautiful, with amazing views that make it a perfect place to relax and enjoy great wine. After reading some of the other reviews, I think it's worth pointing out that the winery does not provide food--and that's not uncommon in the wine industry. If you'd like snacks, simply bring your own. It wasn't a big deal for us at all. Overall, we had an exceptional experience and would definitely recommend Grassini to anyone looking for great wine, stunning scenery, and outstanding hospitality.

The wine pours could have been a bit more generous. We also ordered cheese plate. The serving of cheese and crackers was just the right size and tasty. The plate also had nuts, which were stale. My advice would be to add some dried fruit too. The inside is well lit and you can see tons of wine casks and barrels. There is a large outdoor patio where the band played. A nice place and a nice experience.

Sean Larkin is the awesome proprietor of Vino DiVino. He is extremely knowledgeable and has wines that have been right on the money for my taste every time. I'm in several wine clubs so I'm getting a lot of different wines, but when I ask for a speciality wine for someone fully engrossed in wines Sean always has a suggestion for that person that get's that "wow" and "where did you get that!" response. Also, he has many wines for everyday drinking that don't break the bank. Fun atmosphere, great service and great selection although you wouldn't guess it from a quick glance at the cozy but small store. Sean is always finding great new deals virtually every day. read more

Family owned and operated, with a wide selection of local and imported wines, I was incredibly impressed with this wine shop in the heart of SB. The staff is very knowledgeable of their craft, and extremely helpful when suggesting something new to add to your collection (not to mention their prices are tough to beat). They also have a great offering for a wine club to join and utilize their event space for your own personal or professional enjoyment. This is a must-visit for both locals and visitors to the area - we will definitely be back! read more

I had a great experience sitting in this restaurant, because you can watch chef while he prepares your meal since kitchen is behind a glass wall. We got very nice service by staff and italian chef (I don´t remember his name even though he introduced himself, perhaps Mario) came around and chatted with us. Meal was simply delicious. On the top of that, we got excellent italian wine (they also have czech, portugese and spanish ones), and whole family diner was for reasonable price. I recommend to visit Vino di vino very much. read more

The thing I love about this store is their concept-to carry economical , unique (not the same ones found at grocery stores or cosco) wines-truly something for everyone no matter what your budget is. Under new ownership, Craig is super nice and knowledgeable. It's a friendly, neighborhood store. The wine club is amazing-only $40 every other month for 2 bottles, but the best part is they include the Friday evening tastings for free with your membership! Best deal and the most fun in town! read more

Truly a wonderful tasting room and winery you'll be happy you came to experience (especially the "Chapel View"and "Blanc de Blancs.") From me: We've been coming to Riverbench since our very first trip to Santa Barbara and while the wines brought us in, it's the staff, and more specifically, Brad who keeps us coming back. Brad has been a constant and remains welcoming, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in our experience. He doesn't just pour wine; he truly elevates it and guides us through Riverbench's excellent Chardonnay and outrageous Pinot Noir with insight and enthusiasm that make each visit memorable. Plus he likes my Pommard. What really sets him apart is the connection. He remembers us, tailors the experience, and creates an atmosphere that feels both personal and relaxed.
