Then we began to relax and felt a level of calm and enjoyment. The first 40 minutes were sat there and admired the view of the vineyard, mountains, the city below as a hawk flew by. My favorites were the Chardonnay and Brut. After the normal tastings, they asked if I wanted to try anything else, I tried a Sauvignon Blanc. They were need the sampling with a Syrah. After about 20-30 we sampled 2 Pinot Noir, again one from Santa Maria grapes and one from the winery vineyard only. After the sparkling wine, they serve you 2 Chardonnays side by side to compare, a Santa Maria version and one with all the grapes from this vineyard. We loved all the food and were really impressed with the chefs creativity and plating. Lastly they had pita triangles with a bowl of farmers cheese, orange slice, and blood orange is a light sweet sauce at the bottom. The wings were a nice large size, perfectly cooked, with a sweet sticky sauce which was perfect. There was jasmine rice perfectly cooked and a white bean coconut curry with peanuts (they do ask if there are any food allergies before we started). The salad was butter lettuce, mushrooms, edamame, and cucumber slices with a light flavorful vinaigrette. Santa Maria has an overwhelming number of dwellers of Hispanic origin. The food is brought out all at one tapas style which we love. Santa Maria is a large city in California, located 180 miles northwest of Los Angeles. It was absolutely beautiful.Ī dedicated experience host walked us through the wines and food over the next 2 hours. We were seated on the patio overlooking the vineyard, Santa Maria, and the vast mountain range. We were greeted right away and given a glass of wine at check in, it was a brut sparkling wine which is now one of my favorites, It is easy to navigate where to go with the signs and the parking lot is right at the venue for tasting. When you first pull into the vineyard you drive through all the grape vines for what seems like at least half a mile up and down hills, it is beautiful. This place far exceeded all my expectations.
