👍👍 Of all the places I walked into on my birthday 9-7, yesterday, this was the only place my bestie and I were acknowledged. Every place we went the staff made no attempt to welcome us. So enough about everyone else. Let's talk about this cute place. The gal was warm, friendly and helped in making some... People often mention wine, great, wines, tasting, visit,

    Of all the places I walked into on my birthday 9-7, yesterday, this was the only place my bestie and I were acknowledged. Every place we went the staff made no attempt to welcome us. So enough about everyone else. Let's talk about this cute place. The gal was warm, friendly and helped in making some excellent suggestions on choosing a wine choice to toast to my 50th birthday. Very clean and bright place with many little areas to sit inside and outside. Wine was excellent. Don't underestimate this place. It was busy and even though there were 2 ladies helping all the customers, they did a stellar job and keeping everyone happy. Kudos and cheers to this little wine jewel. Check them out.

    We had a great visit to Kunin. Marley was an excellent host. The red tasting was unique with Syrah, Mouvedre and Cab Franc. All 3 were awesome and different from standard grape offerings. The savignon blanc was great too. Highly recommend.

    Really incredible service and really tasty wines. It wasn't super busy while I was here so I think I was rewarded with a good connection with the staff but I would suggest anyone come for a tasting. It was incredibly difficult to not buy an entire case of wine and take home.

    A great local winery tasting room. Specializing in Rhône style wines, dog friendly, cheese boards from the shop next door, you can't ask for a better experience. Wine prices are approachable, and they ship all over. Definitely recommend it if you come to Santa Barbara

    It's a place to buy their wines. I think they are some of the best in the Santa Barbara area. Clean place with straight forward tasting. I think they could use a bit more customer service skill hit this spot for is nice pour.

    Dave and this lovely boutique winery saved the day! We had made reservations in Santa Barbara to two different places several weeks ago and they never bothered to call to let us know they would be closed. Quite a disappointment. We found this close by and are so glad to have paid a visit! Wonderful quality and attention to detail. The natural Chenin blanc was a pleasant surprise and the reds were mature and substantial!

    Kunin winery is a great place to visit on your next trip to Santa Barbara. Tim and Pat where awesome with our group of 30. The wine is great and they have a great store nextdoor who can put together a charcuterie board to go along with your tasting. Definitely worth adding Kunin to your next wine tour. 👍👍👍

    I'm totally dialed in to Santa Barbara County wines having visited and tasted wines from over 30 of the top producers from SBC. I can say that without a doubt, these are easily some of the finest wines from that region and their QPR is fantastic. Marley gave us a great tasting experience and their customer service is fantastic as well. I joined their wine club.

    Good people, tasty wine and amazing location! If you are served by Tim, you’ll have a great visit - he’s incredibly friendly and personable. A must if you’re in the area!

    A go to tasting room when in town. I love the atmosphere and the wine. I usually get the red flight and love them all. Their desert wine is amazing too! Ask for a taste.

    Great vibes and atmosphere, everyone in there was extremely friendly and the whole group started chatting and getting to know each other (I guess the wine helps with that!).. and the wines are amazing! Robbie (I believe that was his name) was a really great host, awesome to chat with and made sure everyone was having a great time.

    We visited last Saturday. The side patio is nice and the tables are spaced apart for social distancing. The staff was really knowledgeable of the wines and attentive. The wines are good. I loved the white sparkling 👌.

    When you visit, ask if Tim is around. He knows everything about the Funk Zone!
