Great spot for wine tasting. Beautiful landscaped gardens, comfortable spacious outside seating area. Brilliant wine flight. Our host Thomas was great, friendly and knowledgeable.

Had a wonderful time at the vineyard with my wife for our 5th year anniversary. We had the pleasure of having Cody take care of us. He was awesome and I know that Fess would have been proud of the passion he had for this beautiful place.

Love Fess Parker Winery! Such an amazing place in a beautiful area. The staff is great and love all the Davy Crockett nostalgia around the venue. It’s a beautiful place to sit, relax and sip some of their amazing wines! Joined their wine club after my first visit! Also don’t forget to check out the Fess Parker Country Inn, it’s gorgeous in a great area! 5 🌟

Super dog friendly! Can be inside with AC or outside. Tastings $25 or $35 for non-members. Big grass area to picnic or for pet relief. This is a great spot to have a chill wine tasting session with friends. No food except a cheese board.

Celebrated a friend's birthday here in picnic area. What a wonderful property. Highly recommended. Enjoy wine tasting in the stylish building or the relaxing patio. Beautiful grounds to stroll or take a guided horse tour of the 700 acre property set among rolling hills dotted with pastures and small ranches.

From the moment we arrived, the staff made it abundantly clear that we were unwelcome. Rude, dismissive, and utterly lacking in hospitality, we were curtly informed that because we didn’t have a reservation, we’d be relegated to the “dirt area” quite literally a dusty patch of land with worn, splintered picnic tables that looked like they hadn’t seen maintenance in years. Never mind that there were plenty of empty tables in the nicer seating area we weren’t even offered an option. Out of curiosity (and frustration), I checked online while we sat in the dirt and discovered that reservations were wide open for the entire day. So I made one. Immediately. When we returned to the front to inform the young woman at the host stand, her attitude only worsened. Instead of correcting her mistake or offering a polite apology, she acted as if our very presence was a burden. No smile, no welcome, just a cold shoulder and a forced gesture toward a now-acceptable table. We should have walked out then, and frankly, we regret not doing so. We ordered a bottle of wine which, when finally brought to the table, was already opened. The server didn’t say a word, didn’t offer a tasting or pour, just dropped the bottle and disappeared. In a region overflowing with outstanding wineries, this place stands out for all the wrong reasons. Skip it. Spend your time and money at an establishment that values guests rather than treating them like an inconvenience.

Great ambiance. Service was excellent (thanks Cody). Highly recommend to stop by, taste some good wine, and if you like, learn bit about Fess' career in Hollywood.

Firestone Vineyards offers a timeless experience that transports visitors to a bygone era. Walking in is like stepping into history dating back to the early 20th century, where the estate exudes the charm and character of California’s winemaking legacy, an atmosphere that recalls the days of Henry Ford and Ronald Reagan. Situated on an expansive 400+ acre property, the vineyard is a visual marvel, with meticulously maintained vines stretching as far as the eye can see. The landscape is absolutely picturesque and timeless! Each wine in the tasting lineup revealed a distinct personality. Ranging from well balanced, fruit forward expressions to more complex, oak aged varietals with excellent structure, the craftsmanship behind every pour was evident, showcasing both terroir and technique. The hospitality was equally top notch. The staff demonstrated deep knowledge of the history, wine and had genuine warmth to tailor the experience to every guest’s glass. Firestone Vineyards is a standout destination in Santa Barbara wine country and a highly recommended stop for anyone seeking both exceptional wines and a taste of California’s viticultural heritage. I highly recommend paying a visit to this historic landmark!

We decided to drive along Foxen Canyon Road to see all the vineyards in Santa Maria's valley. If you are looking for a wine tasting, you are spoilt for choice. We stopped at Firestone Vineyard and we were very impressed with the wine and the hospitality. The staff was friendly, attentive and clearly knew so much about wine. They explained every little detail about the tasting notes, the history of the place and their approach to wine making. I was blown away by the quality and variety of wine across California.

Beautiful vineyard and tasting area. Comfortable chairs, shade, live music, delicious wines. A cork tree to touch. Very relaxing

We went to three different wine tasting locations and by far this one was different. It was a 109 degrees outside so indoors was our only option. I did not expect to be seated in the back area with the barrels. It was amazing experience. They had a live dj playing vinyl music and they were raffling off some merchandise. We brought our own cheese and crackers. They provide you with chilled water and the service was great. We will definitely come back here. Thank you Firestone Vineyard ❤️

Sebastian was great! If you know what you like, or even if you dont, he's got the right wine for you. Very attentive, knowledgeable and super personable. Thanks for the great experience!!

Worth a stop! Almost skipped this one since it’s the first down the vineyard trail but glad we went in. The inside is medium size with no seating just standing at the tasting counter, worked for me but some of the family grew restless. Beautiful views of the Los Olivos valley and great wine.

The entire staff is incredible. The wine is equally great. Been coming here since the early 90’s.

The vibe was super cool and the wines were good, from what I could “taste.” My issue is with the size of the pours. As you can see, a bit stingy on the pour. For a $25 tasting flight, I would expect a bit more to really appreciate the wine. Overall, wouldn’t return to their tasting room with so many other options in town and outlying area.

This place was really pretty and we had hoped to come back but we weren’t treated very well there today. We had grabbed bbq at the food truck outside for lunch today and asked them where we could sit to eat. The lady at the counter pointed to a little seating area next to this tasting room and said we were welcome to go to the back patio as well. Since the outdoor seating was taken up, we walked to the back patio. It was lovely and there was some live music as well. The server handed us some glasses and menus and left. We kind of had our hands full with the food ant the time and when she returned we told her we were going to skip the tasting for now. We could tell she was VERY annoyed by this, and she grabbed the glasses, simply said “OH” and rolled her eyes and we never saw her again. Mind you we did want to grab a glass after and sit and enjoy for a while but her attitude was so unwelcoming and off putting that we left. Especially since we were told we were able to sit there with our food, I’m sorry if that isn’t a thing but how would we know? We don’t live far and like to spend the afternoon enjoying a tasting in the area but I won’t be coming back here.

Super fun vibe. Service was great and Chase the owner is a cool guy. Will come again!

What a great place! Very cozy stylish yard and special compliments for the very comfortable chairs here! Exceptionally pleasant service, I felt like visiting friends who genuinely wanted to treat me to wonderful wines and give me as much information as possible about each wine I tasted. The selection of wines is perfect, really enjoyed all the ones offered for testing. Many thanks for the excellent wines and created friendly atmosphere! Hope to visit again soon!

Did the wine tasting. We all agreed it was not to our liking. While the Sav was smooth and not grassy like New Zealand blends, the reds had a wet stone—mossy taste which was not enjoyable for us. It would have been nice to been able to try some of their wines by the bottle and not their red blends. Tasting pours were small compared to other wineries. While they should be 1oz there was not a measuring spout on the bottle so I don’t believe they came out to 1oz. Service was slow and on top of that the server passive aggressively said some negative things about another winery we had come from. Seems like a very local hang out spot.

Really lovely back area for wine tasting or just relaxing with a glass of wine, nice vibe and great service. We tried their tasting menu, which was heavy on their Venture line, not our favorite but nevertheleas nice to try. Wish there was more of their local wines on the tasting menu or half/half. Regadless we had a great time. Taking off one start for no bathroom on the property! (Porta potties across the treet, yikes)

Good wine, great atmosphere, and a friendly team. Big thanks to Alyssa for the awesome tasting experience. We really enjoyed the cab!

Before we even started tasting, the owner came by with a bottle in his hand and gave us a free pour from his personal bottle. I was already sold at this point, but the wine happens to be top notch as well. Honestly some of the best stuff around here. The whites and reds were incredible, we bought 3 bottles.

loved our time here, we joined after a beautiful tasting of unique and delicious wines!! the atmosphere is mod yet cozy, with cushy blankets and great, prompt service. we learned a lot about Andrew and his love of wines, thanks to the amazing woman who helped us out and told us all about AMV. we are thrilled to be members now and visit when we come to town (up from San Diego). they have very affordable pricing and the comp tastings with a membership can’t be beat! we’re excited to have taken home some E11EVEN wines as well, yum! a great variety here, and for the right price. we are so glad to have made the trip over here while staying in Solvang, at our hotels recommendation. what a beautiful spot, we look forward to being back soon!! thank you thank you, would recommend to anyone staying in the area. Roasted Slope & Petit Verdot were my personal fave, and s/o to Enchanté which surprised & delighted, turning us into white wine drinkers this visit!! cheers!

Visited AM in Los Olivos and was immediately fascinated by the tucked away location, and super modern tasting room compound. Thomas was my wine tender, and did a superb job walking me through the selection. He answered my questions clearly and we had a great conversation about winemaking and Andrew's career. I got to closely compare the Syrahs which are marginally different from each other, but I was helped to understand how they differ which was great! Just an unrivaled experience with Thomas. Convinced me to join the wine club!

Very dog friendly winery. They have the little trash can with poop bags out front like you see at parks, which was nice to see. The wines were really good. This place had a lot of really cozy seating inside, lots of couches and tons of blankets to snuggle up under.

Great wine and amazing staff. The wine is definitely worth the trip and the staff make for a great experience. I love the grounds as well. Reservation are best but they did accept walk in during covid.

Amazing views, decor and ambiance. Great wine as well, I highly recommend sticking to the richer reds however, personally.

Great wines beautiful winery and to top off our great day they had a pizza maker on site. Great times.

We started our day at a fairly if not super well known winery (name withheld) The wine was good but the crowd and staff was stuffy, not accommodating and somewhat rude On to our second winery …. Demetria … so damn awesome. This place is absolutely fantastic !!! Demetria blew the other winery out of the water The views, the staff, the wine … all top notch Tons of locals … which is a great sign. They even let us bring in our sandwiches that Adrianna from Preferred Limo and Transport had arranged for us. Logan was a great server/pourer and the proprietor, Lexi was fantastic. We joined the club and will be back in person I give this place my highest recommendation A+++++

Off the beaten path and we’ll worth the drive. Logan was our tasting guide and a great one at that! He really went the extra mile to ensure we had a fun and memorable experience. The grounds and views were beautiful.

We loved our experience at Demetria. Logan was very welcoming and kind. It felt so much more private compared to some of the other vineyard tastings in the area. Beautiful view and atmosphere. The kitty cats were also adorable. Highly recommend!

Summary: Gorgeous grounds with great views but wasn't the most welcoming. Also, the drive in is about 7 min on a dirt road with amazing views but be prepared with your car you may need to take it slow. We had a truck so it was fun. Wine wasn't bad but wine is also about experience for me so the memory it left isn't a great one. You definitely need a reservation, The guy Nick doing the tastings on first impressions seems like a stickler and like he's sick of his job. Maybe we caught him on a bad day but we left pretty convinced he didn't want us there. Full story: Full disclosure there is a sign at the gate that says reservations online but we made the call to go in thinking that maybe they would give us a break since it was a Monday and thought it may be a slow day based on the other wineries we visited that day. We walked in and immediately said we dont have a reservation and asked if it was ok and were totally ready to be turned away which would've been fine but the guy inside was sweet and said it's ok go ahead and find a table. So we did, it wasn't crowded and the views are gorgeous. When it came to the actual guy, Nick outside who was conducting the tastings, he was really put out. When he found out we hadn't made a reservation he started in on how slammed he was about to get and how he wanted to manage expectations, that tastings take 2.5 hours, and how people ignore the sign and of course we had, so we were still apologetic and thankful and just told him we'd get two bottles so he wouldn't have to worry about us making him more busy. (mind you it was just two of us) After bringing the bottles and the glasses he didn't have to do anything for us the whole time but it was clear he didn't really want to. It never got super busy, plus while we were there about 40 min another party of 5 just came in a sat down without a reservation and we heard him tell them it's ok it's slow today. Then when it came time and we walked in to pay the $130 for drinking two bottles with a view he was just as avoidant and unfriendly. So it just felt a little personal. We have a place in the area because we fell in love with this wonderful part of Santa Barbara county, the people and wineries are generally so welcoming and feel like community. Not so full of themselves, but this place definitely felt like Napa vibes. Which is some people's thing, just not ours.

my very favorite place to drink wine. I've been coming here for well over 10 years and always look forward to coming back. It is by far the most relaxing place to just be. We have been members for most of those years and love their wine.

A poor experience overall. With an appointment required and a few minutes of driving on a private road to get into the estate, we assumed we were going to have an elevated experience. That quickly disappeared as soon as we arrived. It was my wife and my first time at the winery. The gentleman hosting us was kind of a snob and unwelcoming. Seemed to not even care that we made a reservation so we wondered why we needed to in the first place. It didn’t seem like it was to limit customer capacity as the seating was full. Our host never engaged with us or was interested in helping to make our experience enjoyable. We split a tasting flight because wine by the glass isn’t offered. He couldn’t be bothered to bring another glass so we could split the tasting between the two of us so we had to share a glass. The time between pours was very drawn out so we had plenty of time in between to ruminate about how bad the experience was. He looked at our table numerous times as we just sat and waited for him to come with the next pour but it seemed like he was ignoring us on purpose. Even though my wife mentioned to him she prefers reds over whites and asked him if he could bring the red wine tastings out (partly to speed up the whole experience) he said this was the order they go in. It got to the point where I went inside and paid just so we could leave faster. We honestly didn’t want to be there any longer than we had to be, and we won’t recommend the winery to anyone. The wine might have been good, but since the experience overall was so bad, I forgot if they were. One star for the estate being in a beautiful location.

We showed up without a reservation, but it was no problem. They buzzed us in and we wound our way through a beautiful two miles of rolling vineyards to get to the tasting room. Immediately, we were greeted and told to sit wherever we liked. There were plenty of shady tables so we picked one with a nice view. They served generous tastes of five different wines then a bonus Syrah. The server told us about each wine as he poured and was happy to answer any questions we had. Overall, the wines were good. After the tasting, we ordered a bottle to have with our picnic lunch. What a beautiful and relaxing location to spend an afternoon. We picked up two more bottles to take with us and they waived the tasting fees. We even got to meet the winemaker. Fantastic!

I will start with the positive… the ambiance and outdoor seating was great. Beautiful atmosphere and vibe. Beware… the cupcake pairing is simply that you get the same amount of cupcakes as you do for a flight of wine. The tasting constitutes of a girl pouring the wines and explaining the labels and not anything regarding the wine. Oh! Did I mention we didn’t get the cupcakes until we were well into our 4th wine because they ran out, or that no one except the cupcake girl (who I was told more than once is a separate business than the vineyard) was willing to explain the format or show any kind of customer service ? I should point out we didn’t care for any of the wines, which was a bummer because we drove up to stock up on cases before the summer. I’ll end with that the flight display was cute with little milk bottles and the cupcakes were ABSOLUTELY fabulous! Bottom line, it’s a cute place for a picture opportunity & cupcake, but you may want to purchase your wines elsewhere.

Keith went above and beyond for a friend's 6oth birthday. Made it so special and one to remember. Order arrived on time and as always great wine!

Wonderful wines in a beautiful setting. This is a must when you’re visiting Los Olivos. Keith and his team are awesome. Always an enjoyable experience when we visit. GO FROGS!!!

Wine plus cupcake. It's the best experience in the area, highly recommended that you order the flight and sit out front. Six stars

I stopped in Los Olivos on a Wednesday and Saarloos & Sons stood out quickly due to several tasting rooms near where I parked being closed, but i'm very glad I stopped in. There is a beautiful patio area, but the tasting room was so artfully decorated and had so much character that I stayed inside and did a tasting. They sell amazing candles and fun swag that was great to browse through. Kristin was at the tasting bar and I stayed about 3x longer than I intended to because taking with her was so much fun. I'm going to come back as soon as I can!

Friendly wine tasting outdoors. What more do you need? The staff was very friendly and had fun inout about the wine we tasted.

Great wine with cupcake pairing.
