"Open seven days a week, I recommend booking a tasting with lunch at Roblar Winery — they accommodate walk-ins when available but appointments are encouraged. Surrounded by oak trees on a 40-acre property, I found the setting a pleasant blend of rustic ambiance and sophisticated wines; seating is available inside or on a leafy patio that’s perfect in the valley’s great weather. The menu changes seasonally and features dishes composed of fresh produce harvested weekly from the adjacent organic farm, which practices regenerative agriculture using organic soil amendments and on-site livestock manures for composting. The winery offers a wide range of wines that reflect Santa Ynez Valley’s diverse soils and climates, from Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier to Syrah, Grenache, and Cabernet Sauvignon." - Lauren Mowery
