Montemar is located in the Lompoc Wine Ghetto home to over 25 boutique wineries. We handcraft our wines from top vineyards in Santa Barbara with a particular focus on Sta Rita Hills. 8 different Pinot noirs allow for a fun tasting. We also love Rhone varietals. We have artisanal charcuterie and cheeses as well as over 8,000 square feet of fun - mostly our large outdoor patio where we have games, fire pits and a large organic garden. Did I mention the chair.

We've been members of their wine club for years and Steve's access to some of the Santa Rita Hills AVA vineyards and his skill making excellent wines from those grapes is phenomenal. While he bottles several different Pinots from Bent Rock, Bouna Terra. Zotovitch, La Encantada Vineyards, he also does several Rhone style red wines as well all worth your consideration. The tasting facility includes both indoor and outdoor areas and has a small cooler stocked with crudites to enjoy with your wine. Open weekends from 11 to 5PM.

Unlike many of the restored California Missions which sit in touristy city centers, La Pursima Concepcion is in a lovely, oak-filled rural valley outside Lompoc, reminiscent of the early days of California when the missions were founded. I had fond memories of this place as a kid -- the size of the grounds and the rustic quality of the restoration work made it different from most of the other missions. Happily, it has kept that sense of authenticity. The self-guided mission tour is both substantial and informative; the old mission grounds have animals and fields just like one would have encountered two centuries ago, along with shady courtyards and fountains to sit and relax. There are some lovely trails through the mission's "backlot," and dogs are welcome so long as they are kept on a leash. All in all, one of the most interesting and educational of the Missions, and well worth the $6 for parking.

Wynn greeted us on a quiet Friday morning, before the weekend rush. We sampled many of our favorites. Their Chardonnays have been incredible for years and continue to be, barreled in French oak for 18 months and fruit forward. The Rose of Grenache was a home run, and new to us. The Pinot Noirs are impeccable. This is a must stop in the area.
