Enjoy a luxury wine tasting experience in Solvang in front of our 36-foot long fire pit and fall in love with our relaxing couches and a beautiful wine bar. We offer unique blends, crisp whites, and amazing award-winning wines from the Santa Ynez Valley. Enjoy our artisan popcorn. A “hip” modern industrial luxury vibe that is a cross between a New York “Soho” music venue and a beautiful “Napa Valley” tasting lounge. Hang outside and soak in the warm sun and relax in the cool breezes or step up to the bar for a glass of the good stuff. We offer live Jazz and Blues music on most weekends and an inviting lounge-like atmosphere with a patio. If you love art, wine, and great service... then stop by to be amazed."

    Their lineup of wines was vast with over 25 varietals, and those were just the ones we saw. There was not a dud in the entire group. All were well worth drinking. However the price points were way too high, compared to similar wine quality from other wine tasting rooms in Los Olivos, Buellton and Santa Ynez. If they dropped their prices about 25 percent, this would be a gem in Solvang.

    McClain Cellars has a mix of nice wines and some blends that just didn't work for us. That's expected. We did find a couple to buy, but were very surprised by the cost per bottle. Priced up to 50% higher than it should have been. Too bad.

    Great place to relax and enjoy some great wines! Dog friendly too! You can buy some cheeses, meats and crackers and they’ll create a custom charcuterie board for you, big or small! We will definitely visit again!

    Sebastian was amazing and knowledgeable about the wines he served us. I came with my boyfriend, my dad and his friend. We each finished the wine tasting flight and bought some popcorn. I really like the ambiance and set up of this winery. Very cozy and colorful. Thank you Sebastian

    The wine tasting experience is good overall. Wines are OK, some good, some not. Wines are very expensive for the quality! $66 was the lowest price per bottle of any we liked, up to nearly $80, but these wines to me were $30 quality. Service and ambiance for tasting are very good.

    Unfortunately no one in our party enjoyed the wine flights they chose. We did not eat but there appeared to offer many tasty bites. We sat in the back patio which was nice and secluded from the busy blvd. The service was fantastic.
