Their Sauvignon Blanc is also fantastic. I was so happy to come back. They just celebrated 14 years! We had their gourmet cheese board but they also have a wonder cheese pairing.

The wines were amazing, def one of the best we've had in Santa Barbara. The space itself is beautiful and perfect for an event or casual wine tasting with friends. Prices are also really reasonable for the quality. Overall, highly recommend Jamie Slone if you're looking for one of the best wineries and best wine tastings in the area.

What a hidden gem!…read more We went to the Tasting Room on a whim, trying to kill some time before our dinner reservation, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our stay at Bacara. Yvonne is wonderful. She knows her wine and she explains everything so well. I'd say our wine knowledge is low to medium, and she is informative without being pretentious. You can tell she loves sharing her passion for wine. We ended up talking about all kinds of things, and she is just a very interesting person, period. We had a lovely time with Yvonne, and I felt like we took a fun wine class for 30+ minutes. We could've stayed a lot longer but we had to leave for our dinner reservation. We've done many wine tastings over the years, and this was one of our favorites, for sure. I think it is a great idea that Bacara has this on the resort premise, and so glad we went! It's easy to miss, but I think it will be worthwhile if you like/love wine, or even if you're just interested in finding out more about it. Next to the coffee shop in front of the hotel entrance. How often can you do wine tasting and have the option to walk back to your room and take a nap if you want? So convenient!

What a wonderful find. After dinner at the OKB, we went for…read morea stroll with our dog Sian (Shaun). Wished we went before dinner. Nice, beautiful and open wine tasting room. Nice seating areas. Yvonne was our sommelier and tasting guru. It was just the two of us and our dog. Oh, and and a very loud and demanding group of eight people off to the side. Yvonne did her best to keep them happy. She succeeded. We were happy too!!! Yvonne was very informative about the wines of Santa Ynez Valley Viticultural area, not to mention very friendly and accomodating. We are from the Sierra Foothills of Amador and El Dorado County areas which are known for their hearty Zins, Barbaras and other Rhone varietals. Yvonne took us on a tasting tour of the Santa Ynez Valley and the wide variety of beautiful wines. Impressive to say the least. The whites were great! Something that we don't have much of in the Sierra Foothills. Go if you have the time whilst at the Bacara.

When I asked if they have cabernet, the tasting associate asked me if I want to try it. I did. We started the wine conversation, one thing led to another, I ended up buying some Pinos.

Check out their IG page @crosshatchwines for more information. On my visit they were offering $11 glasses of rosè, which was perfect for the warm weather. The rosè was light, crisp and very pleasant. I also tried one of their reds. The 2024 Rubia which is 80% Grenache & 20% Mourvèdre. This one was served "chilled" and now one of my favorites! It was a light red, low acidity and smooth. It especially paired well with the tri-tip sandwich that I had. The staff here was super friendly! I really enjoyed their hospitality and attentiveness. They had two local vendors selling food and live music. I went for the bbq of course! Couldn't resist the smell of tri tip. The inside is quite small but cozy. I also noticed an area for kids but not sure if it was just for the event. I believe they have other rooms upstairs but not too sure. The exterior is nicely set up with lounge chairs and tables. CrossHatch recently moved to 111 E. Haley St. from Santa Ynez. Former home of Pure Joy catering. The parking situation is hit or miss on this busy street, but I know the area very well and found parking around the block. Overall, I had a great time here and would definitely return to try more of the wines. They have happy hour Thursday & Friday from 4-6pm.I especially love that it is a woman-owned winery built on creativity, sustainability, curiosity, and community.
