Demetria Estate

The Demetria Estate is hands down the prettiest place to taste wine in Santa Barbara County, and the fact that their wine is delicious certainly doesn't hurt matters. Call ahead to make a tasting reservation. At the appointed time, you will drive a little ways past Los Olivos, enter a secret passcode at a large gate, and then drive another little ways on a narrow lane through some of the most marvelous countryside in the area. You will see goats, maybe hawks, maybe deer. And then, oh then, you will pull up to a large estate, be seated on a picnic-friendly sunny courtyard, and enjoy some very fine sips of Pinot Noir and Syrah, among others.
