Fox Wine Co. - Santa Barbara, California

We enjoyed our time in the courtyard. It was a sunny day but the winery had put out plenty of shade

The service was very prompt and friendly. We also loved the music streaming from the loudspeaker.
the playlist was well curated for creating a chilled atmosphere.

Parking was not a problem. Street parking and the 90 minute limit seemed just right.

Love Blair Fox wine but I love his wine at Epiphany a lot more than here at Fox Wine Co. But this is a nice tasting room and a perfect SB Funkzone experience! ❤🍷

Our family reserved a portion of the for a pre wedding get together and the host family paid for a limited fund for beer at Topo and wine at Fox. When the funds ran out we were happy to pay for drinks. Money was not an issue.

When family members went to purchase glasses of Rose, I noticed that the bill for 2 glasses exceed the price of a full bottle of the exact same wine. The server had been tipped $20 earlier by the same people buying the glasses of wine. When they brought the price disparity to the attention of the server and suggested politely that he should have at least told them a full bottle cost less than the 2 glasses and allowed them to decide what to purchase, he simply looked up and in a nasty tone and said, "the prices are on the menu, you should have looked." That was a correct statement, but being correct doesn't rectify horrible customer service. He could have offered options, an additional glass or recognition of the problem. This isn’t Girl Math.

We won't be going back and spending our money.

The wine tasting flights were not as diverse as one would expect from a flight. The “premium” flight had 3 Syrahs (out of 5 wines). We tried both flights. Personally, only the cab was decent.

The information provided to us was very minimal. We learned about the owner a little but nothing about the actual wine. The lady serving was nice.
The wines were bouncing between a 1 and 2 (out of 5) stars.

The entire building was complicated because of all the different licenses they have. If you go, be prepared not to sit with your friends who might be drinking a beer instead of wine. 🙄

Honestly the place seemed really cool and it's shares a building with a brewery which is great. I was with a group of 14 people and two of those people had beer from the brewery bar right next to the wine bar. Everybody else in the group had wine. We were all hanging close to the wine bar and were asked to move outside because the two people had beer. The one person who had beer was also planning to order wine after finishing the beer. So ridiculous, all 14 people of us left. Why share a building with a brewery if you aren't going to allow people to appreciate and enjoy the craft of local brewing and wine. Fox wine Co will never receive my business again. I can't think of a reason why a rule like that needs to be in place. What does that benefit?

Rude, $20 not even a generous pour glass of wine. Rush you out before closing and snarky staff. Wish I went a couple doors down where people seemed to actually have fun
