    We tried a tasting of 5 wines for $15! They have a cool outdoor space to enjoy wine and ambiance. The service was wonderful too. We loved going through the wine tasting and reading the fun names of each wine like Roséwell and Invasion. Good tasting wines too!

    The atmosphere at area 51 winery waspleasant. There was outdoor seating available. The live music band rocked it out on this Saturday in February 2021. The Zinvasion Wine was tasty and cost $12 a Glass

    Found this gem this weekend on my trip to SB (my 1st time here) and the wine is out of this world 🌍🧡🍷we got a tasting of each wine on the menu and they were all amazing! You can immediately tell that the owner crafts his wine to the highest quality and really works on hitting perfection when it comes to flavor 😋 we got to meet him and he was very friendly, hospitable, and talked to us about other mixtures in the works. I am sooo excited for what he has coming next 😁😁 our faves were : Zinvasion, Equinox, Rosewell, & Conspiracy Red and we definitely bought a few to take home and share with the family ( or not share😂) If you're in town go and check out Area 5.1!! I will for sure be coming back🍷🧡

    Interesting wine tasting place. They got white blends, rose blend and red blends. Saved last for the best. Overall good experience. Very good service. Recommend making this as a stop in the Funk Zone.

    We LOVED the wine names and the whole theme of this place. In truth, they had some really great blends!

    Great service and good wine, all of the wines on the tasting set were blends.

    This was my favorite local tasting room in like 2016-2018, but nowadays it is extremely average. Nothing wrong with it, but no standout reason to visit unless you are a blended wine enthusiast.

    Great atmosphere and out of this world wines! Also, shoutout to Matthew for his exceptional customer service!

    We did the wine seeker tour and Area 51 Was on the list of stops. If this winery was the only that stood out. The owner Martin is on to something big here with his wine skills. Not to mention his atmosphere and theme is very appealing to younger and older crowds. I can’t say enough I’m a believer!!

    Super fun and chill, our server Angel was so knowledgeable and friendly, and the wines were delightful! Can't wait to go back!

    Poor service. Amazed they expect you to have rhe different wines in the same glass. The waitress said there would be too much washing up. She was not happy when I asked for some water to clean the glass. She was very rude when I asked her repeat herself.
