Drake Wines

I took some friends here that had never been wine tasting before and they got such a treat. Not only are these some of the best Pinot being poured right now, but the knowledge share was phenomenal. We all. got an education and ended up wine club members. Love the beginning of what I am sure will be a long term relationship with Drake. Best Pinot Santa barbara!

Phil was professional, fun and extremely knowledgable about the wine! We will be back again!

Cozy little winery with an old-​school vintage feel. Super friendly, knowledgable, staff that offered us a complimentary cheese plate. Nice stop for something a bit different.

Wonderful wine tasting! Phil is the bomb. come — got to check this place out! Fantastic wines

I will be back, I will make it a point to bring my wine-​loving friends. And I am sure THEY will be back.
All Pinots were stand out qualify, with Le Galets being worth a purchase! The person who helped us, a friendly gentleman with curly blond hair, did an amazing job of walking us through the flight. He was knowledgeable and friendly, and seemed genuinely excited about the wines.
Plus, the decorations were charming.

Good wine and amazing service! My family and I had the pleasure of being assisted by Phil, whom was extremely friendly and very knowledgable. Phil single handedly created an awesome experience for us as he educated us on the wines, vineyards, and the process of production. This tasting room is a bit hidden compared to the other ones in the area but well worth finding!

By far the best wine tasting experience I’ve had. Not necessarily for the wine itself but from the education and laughs I received from the gentleman behind the counter. Will definitely be back again.

I walked into Drake and felt right at home! Phil poured the most delectable wine and shared his extensive knowledge of local and international wines.
If you have not been to this location yet you are in for a treat!

Yummi wines… good flights… great people to talk to… bring friends… good location… in the funk zone…

What an awesome time we had!
Stopped in on a Wednesday afternoon to start an afternoon of wine drinking with the visiting sister in law.
Solid experience all around, with our host making it truly enjoyable, like a red headed Wikipedia, dropping knowledge on us while making it both fun and engaging!
And after visiting a couple of the other tasting rooms, this one was by far the favorite of the group.
Definitely stopping back in to grab some bottles on the way out of town in the morning.
And will absolutely be back when we are in town again!

Giving them a huge thumbs down because we ordered $ 200 worth of product to be shipped at $ 20 to a friend for her birthday. We told them it absolutely had to be there by a certain date because she would be in town with us. They waited 5 days before even getting our package to the shipper so it never showed up until after she had already left town. Freakin wonderful!!!
Now we missed out on sharing the experience with her, didn’t have a gift for her birthday celebration, and now having to pay for shipping to get the gift to her. Very poor!!! I’m pissed.

Wow, I would not go back here. Was touring someone around SB about a week and a half ago and thought we’d stop here. I had been in once and thought the wines were pretty good. This time though… the service! Oh my goodness, I will never go back here.
The woman pouring the wine for us not once told us what we were tasting or ANYTHING about the wine. She simply poured, then proceeded to talk about how she doesn’t like SB or any of the wines here and all she wants to do is work up in Napa and Sonoma where everything is so much better and she can drink bubbly. What? Where am I right now?
So, we stood there for almost an hour while she went on and on, pouring each wine and not telling us anything about it. Just as we were about to leave, a couple came in the door to taste. She didn’t even say hello to them just put two glasses on the counter, poured wine in each, and walked away to continue her talk about sparkling wine. The couple looked over at us and we were just dumbfounded.
All that being said, 4 pours for $ 15 and terrible service. No thanks! There are lots of better options for wine tasting in SB!

Such a great choice today! Great little tasting room tucked away. Great wine and even better service by Morgan! We left after doing a flight and ended up coming back for a few more glasses of delicious wine and of course morgan! Definitely a spot to come back to when we are back in this town!

This place was so weird. The décor was cute — like something you would see on a blog — but totally NOT fitting for a wine tasting. I get like I was at a boutique and not a tasting room.
The woman at the bar told us «The wine starts in wood and finishes in glass and tastes like grapes.» Okaaaaaay… She was really funny and friendly, but we were looking to learn a little more about the wines. I guess we could have asked her questions, and she might have been more helpful.
The wines were pretty good, but I don’t think I would recommend this place to my friends based on the atmosphere.

My boyfriend and I have visited quite a few wineries here in the funk zone, but drake is definitely our fav. If Morgan is your bartender you are in for a treat. It was our first time wine tasting and she was hands down the coolest bartender we have encountered. The chardonnay is a must!

The Drake Wine Tasting room in the Santa Barbara Funk Zone is a quaint place to gather to enjoy Drake & Chatter wines. It is a delightful place to spend an afternoon enjoying friends and excellent Drake wine, served by a very knowledgeable server, Morgan. I was there with 7 close friends and we have laughter, hugs and great conversation. The vibe is easy, casual and we really enjoyed the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines. A «must visit spot» in the Santa Barbara Funk Zone.

Drake winery is unbelievable! Morgan
Is so freakin awesome, knowledgable, and personable. The wine is delicious the location is a little hard to find but completely worth the search. Go to drake winery! You will enjoy yourself.

This is a charming wine tasting room tucked away from the main drag. I’m glad we found it as the wines were tasty and the service was excellent. Morgan was pouring and she kept us highly entertained throughout the tasting — she could be a comedian (in a good way.) Drake is known for Pinot but their Chardonnay is actually pretty good too. The dilemma whilst wine tasting is only being able to do a handful of wineries per day and I didn’t regret coming here one bit.

This was our first visit. We will most definitely be back!
All The Pinot noirs are good but the best hands down is 2013 Drake GQ. Extremely flavorful.

Drake specializes in Pinot Noir. And I love Pinot Noir. So I knew I’d at least like Drake. But I LOVED it.
The wines are good. Very good. We started off with two whites, served out of the keg which was unique, and they were refreshing and tasty. But then we moved onto the trio of Pinot. and each one was better than the last.
The guys that work here are great– they seemed to take a genuine interest in learning about us, our trip, and sharing their own stories. They even showed us a trick of fitting an entire bottle of wine into one of the glasses they have. And I always love a dog to play with!
Drake is tucked off the road with a small sign, but it’s a must stop. We had every intention of going back for a full glass of one of the Pinots, but unfortunately our Urban Wine Trailing ran late. Guess well just have to fly back!
