Reviews of Babcock Winery & Vineyards (Winery)

Chad Christensen

Monday - Thursday tastings and you can picnic. The crush is on a fun time to go.

Scott Wyatt

Great vibe. Ocean's Ghost Pinot is one of my favorites!

Gregg Oelker

Second wine tasting in my life and it was a great experience! Thanks to Jamie, Greg, and Jack!!! Oh and Rod for introducing me to Babcock winery!

Michael Bryson

The ambient and the qualtity of the wines here are just amazing. This is one of those places you can spend your whole day at without noticing time go by. The people there make you feel at home. Go to the giftshop and you will find very unique items. A must stop for anyone going to the Santa inez Valley.

Kris Watson

It's seems good.. too bad I don't drink ???? but the people I've been with they bought a few bottles of wine..

Christine Wisch

Owesome place. Not just about the good wine but you can look and buy small thing's. Like I bought a Wax candles and couple of B-day cards or even eat on outside tables and enjoy not just being outside but your surroundings. Got to be there to see.!!!????????

David Zevallos

Very Cool!!

Joe Grodell

Delicious wine, excellent Pinot Noir, great staffs with warm welcoming, had a blast during the visit and cant wait for your case to arrive

Lisa Holme

A very nice location to enjoy good wines.

Adam Suhayda

Wasn’t crazy about the wine (but it might just be me). Tasting is either $16 or $20 for a flight (6).

Armen Gasparian

Cannot recommend more! Hands down my favorite winery in the area! Fantastic wines and really nice staff. Never tried a wine I DIDN'T like here!

Brian H

Favorite winery. I understand why their wine maker gets all the accolades...well deserved!

Bryce Caster

Had a lovely time, had a tasting and then had a picnic outside, with food we brought ourselves. Tastings are priced at 22-30 dollars though, so one could easily find cheaper options.

Patrick Perez

Literally some of the WORST wine that Lompoc and the Santa Rita Hills have to offer. It must be the winemakers not the grapes.

Kirk Nason

Always enjoyable. Best Wines.

Jason Armitage

The most delicious wine

Jimmie Collins-Ware

Good Friends, Good Wine, Good Times

James Zavas

Great service and ambiance with tasty wine.

Kanani Bezlaj

Excellent wines, great service, superb environment, and a beautiful day. Memorable!

Kerry White

Great time with friends!

Michelle Lane

Really fun! Beautiful and delicious wines, great music. Lots of things to look at in the shop, vintage and new jewelry, clothing and home decor.

Lisa N

Best vineyard and wine tasting in Santa Barbara County! If you like Pinot, try Ocean's Ghost. For Chardonnay, Top Cream and the Limit are our favorites. And the Block 15 Cabinet and Upper Crust Sarah are top notch. And for rose fans, try Love's Garden.

David McKinney

Funky and oh so casual. Who knew a place could exist like this where they leave the stuffiness at the door. Try to do a tasting with Tom. He’s fantastic

Cynthia Morlok

Best pinot Noir. Ever. If you go to Solvang you need to go here. Best santa Rita Hills pinot in the world

Kat “TravelKat” Casarez-Perkins

A great spot to go wine tasting in the Santa Rita Hills. They have two tasting flights- go with a friend, order them both and you get to try 9 wines instead of 5 (there is an overlap).

Tracy Cheuk

Amazing atmosphere! And the wine was off the charts! Great place to visit, can't wait to come back.

Stephanie Lidstone

We love Babcock Pinot and Walt's Wharf

Joe “Joser” Cordero

This place is lively , fun , relaxed and super chill unlike the neighboring winery ! I am so glad we stopped here after experiencing the snobby atmosphere next door. The staff here is so chill , friendly & will make you feel welcome ???? you can spread out and find privacy very easily and the prices of the wines are very reasonable. I highly recommend this winery to everyone! This place deserves a solid 5 stars !!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Elaine Madden

Can't go wrong

Haley Smith

Great people and awesome location. Amazing wine

Karen Husman

The place is nice wine is ok - But double check your account. I was charge doubled for a purchase. I spoke with Jamie Espinosa (Wine Club Manager) who apologized and said charges would be corrected and to give 2-3 days for the the credit to go back on my bank account. It's been over 7 days and still not fixed. I tried calling, texting and emailing and getting no response. At least I'm only out $65 but it's the principle. So double check your account on purchases.

Howard Jones

Very cool vibe, excellent food, brussels sprouts were awesome, skirt steak pizza so good, definitely going back for more

joanne bronson

Felt chaotic -- 4 bars, packed with people, our guy was distracted so it took well over an hour just to do one tasting.

Geri Zavala

Nice roomy winery, lots to look at ,great wines and great people.

Alvin

My only advice is, don't go to Babcock first.. You'll hate every other Pinot and Chardonnay you try for the rest of your trip.

Terrie Cardoza

Great atmosphere. Great wines also.

Scott Olson

Very welcoming, good wine, reasonable pricing. Fun spot.

eric schwartz

Lovely experience. Yummy wines.

Maryanne Selvage

Amazing find Janet was so friendly and welcoming Wine was gorgeous Visiting a must even for the atmosphere Great guys

Art Warren

I can't say enough great things about this place. The views are wonderful, the wines delicious and balanced, and the inside is welcoming and fun. We were in Santa Barbara the day before, and when doing tastings in the city, we asked various employees and locals what their number one winery to visit would be, and Babcock was number one for them all. We couldn't agree more. Thanks for a wonderful visit and for making such amazing wines!

Robert Dunn

Great wine, love the reds and the pool table in the back is great as well. Just needs to be leveled on the right side and it would be perfect.

Mary Bray

What a treat-It was bottling day at Babcock Winery- Their day started at 5:30 am to begin bottling A Special Cabernet, also known as Block 15- Thank you Joanne for another amazing tasting experience at Babcock Winery! I can guarantee the case of wine will be thoroughly enjoyed in AZ by everyone who comes to visit us. A special shout out to Colin, Asst. Wine maker and Byron Babcock’s right-hand man and Keith, who works in production for finding a few minutes out of their busy schedule to talk with us this afternoon. Love Ya' Babcock, Kat from Choice Travel Adventures

Jenny Jacobs

Still wonderful, even in these crazy times. Fabulous wine. A must stop. The Pinots are among California's finest, but try the Rhone varietals and the Cab Franc as well.

R Ross

Chris Ford

Love this place! They serve Pinot noir at Walt’s in Seal Beach & that’s where I first tried it! Came in for a second time & became a member. The people & the place is really cool. You never run out of things to see or buy.

Gustav Ljungqvist

Life changing! Does it get any better?

michael mason

The best wine in the Valley

Marcy Warkentin

Great single vineyard pinots & very unique tasting room ... worth the stop!!

Victor Hernandez

AMAZING....what else is there to say?

Andres Di Stefano

Service was terrible, bad vibe from staff. We enjoyed the location, and items they have for sale. Wine was good, but could not get the bad vibe that greeted us out of us so we left.

Deborah Gentry

Great experience. Awesome people.

Staci Patterson

I think one of the best wineries on the central CA coast!! Fantastic events. Friendly , not snooty, employees at wine tasting bar.

Love Rivera

I loved it!

dean pugner

Been a member and fan for years!!! It's a must-see every trip!!

SA

We have been wine club members of Babcock for 8 years and it never disappoints. Brian Babcock makes amazing Pinot Noir and the winery is warm and inviting. Definitely worth a trip when you are near Buelton. Plus the tasting room is one of the most unigue around.

David Fraley

We had a great time there always a gracious hosts

Amanda Martin

It's OK. Very nice shopping area but the wine is what we come for, right? And it is OK.

Larry Babcock

Awesome wines, fun shopping in the tasting area

YOLANDA GARZA

Fun place

isaac martinez

Always great. You need to try it if up there.

Michael Del Rio

Great Wine, But warning a tasting of a few wines will cost you 20.00 each, a bit pricey

Ken Everingham

Babcock winery is fantastic. I love their store, although the items in the store are a little pricey, but very, very nice. All are their wines are excellent. Just depends on how much you are willing to spend.

Catherine Patillo

Awesome wines.

Karen Blakeman

Beautiful location. Pourers with personality, lots of stuff to look at while tasting.
