Join us for a lovely evening at the Barbieri and Kempe tasting room - located in the “arcade” on state street. With both inside and patio seating, this is a great location to enjoy a Santa Barbara evening. They offer wine, non alcoholic drinks and charcuterie platters.  And, they are dog friendly!

Barbieri wines focus on varietals that are found in the famous Rhone region of France. This includes Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah from many of the best vineyards near Los Olivos, Buellton, and two recently acquired vineyards in Santa Rita Hills. These environments, elevations, and soils vary drastically, allowing us to produce many different styles of wine.

Kempe Wines was born, starting with Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon. The following year, Kempe added two Pinot Noirs and the “Bianco” white wine with Grenache Blanc and Viognier. By 2016, Kempe Wines was made official with a full flight list of rose, white, and red wines.
