THE TASTING ROOM

Rustic. Scenic. Welcoming. Situated on nearly twelve acres of land punctuated by ancient oaks is the Hitching Post Tasting Room. A charming, 2,000 square foot, mid-century farmhouse, thoughtfully refurbished, serves as the main indoor tasting room with three private alcoves for an intimate experience. The house is surrounded by trailing walkways landscaped with native plants that lead to ample outdoor seating areas that bank a panoramic, pastoral view of the valley and Santa Ynez Mountains. An outdoor wine bar adds to the relaxed, convivial ambiance along with a personable, knowledgeable staff.

EVENTS

There is always something going on at the Hitching Post if not the Santa Ynez Valley. It could be a winemaker dinner, a foot stompin’ concert, or a quiet evening of live music, grilled appetizers and wine in our Garden Room. Check our calendar of EVENTS to see what is going on in the area.
