Roblar Winery in Santa Ynez, Ca.

Roblar is jut one of our favorite wineries to visit. Located in Santa Ynez Valley just off highway 154 Roblar’s focus is on wine and gourmet foods. The wine tasting room has a little gift shop with a nice selection of cookbooks that Russ would love to own. The wood-sided complex has gardens, terraces, lawns, verandas, exqisite oaks and a lovely outdoor fountain. The spacious tasting room is a beautiful setting for enjoying their Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Syrah and Cabernet Franc. It sits on 18 acres of vineyards that are planted to Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Merlot. They serve delicious food, grown right on their own grounds, or purchased from local farms. Roblar offers food and wine pairing or you can do wine tasting for $14.00, which includes a nice mixture of reds and whites and a souvenir glass to take home. Upstairs is a beautiful, members only lounge, that is very quaint with an outside patio to enjoy the beautiful weather the valley has to offer, or an indoor fireplace for those chilly fall and winter days. Not to worry if you are not a member, they also have a very nice fireplace downstairs. Roblar prepares a wonderful food and wine pairing event every two months for their club members. You can click here for some of their yummy recipes. Just minutes from Los Olivos, it is a place you will definitely want to check out. Be sure to tell Bryon we sent you!
