Babcock Winery & Vineyards - Winery in Lompoc - 5175 CA-246, USA

Stopped in for a quick drink while driving between Solvang and Lompoc. We came away pleasantly impressed. In addition to the delicious wine there are plenty of thing to look at or buy. There are also plenty of chairs to just sit down and enjoy while the other half shops. Many of the items are good for small Christmas presents or birthdays. A fun thing to do is sign the guest book with your non-dominant hand. I did so under duress. Just do t tell anyone I had fun doing it.

Bryan makes an amazing number of spectacular wines from a wide range of varietals. You will find something to like here! Plus, the tasting room is a must-see and the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable. We have been club members for years there. It is a world-class experience in Sta. Rita Hills. Go!

Love this winery! Their wine is incredible and the tasting rolm is the coolest.

The best vibe of any winetasting room I have ever seen. And the biggest with three counters serving wine amid a bunch of eclectic furniture and decorations (some of which are for sale such as fun wine signs and decor). Of course they have excellent wine. They have space both inside and out. Sadly they have a severely beat up pool table on the patio which makes no sense to me; whatever. Outstanding in so many ways it should serve as a model for other winetasting experiences.

This place is lively , fun , relaxed and super chill unlike the neighboring winery ! I am so glad we stopped here after experiencing the snobby atmosphere next door. The staff here is so chill , friendly & will make you feel welcome 🤗 you can spread out and find privacy very easily and the prices of the wines are very reasonable. I highly recommend this winery to everyone! This place deserves a solid 5 stars !!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Negative stars for this place! I have been a wine club member at Babcock for 4+ years and have belonged to many wine clubs over the years and I can say that I have never experienced anything like the fiasco with Babcock (Briana, specifically, but Jamie got involved as well) regarding my fall wine club shipment. About 3 weeks out from my fall wine club shipment, I emailed the wine club asking if they could postpone my shipment by a couple of days because I would be out of town on that Monday-Tuesday (Oct 2-3, 2023) when it was scheduled to be delivered. Briana wrote me back and acknowledged they would ship it out on Wednesday for a Thursday (Oct 5) delivery. On Sunday night (Oct 1), I received an email from UPS about an upcoming Babcock wine delivery set for Monday (Oct 2), which needs a signature. I write Briana/wine club and she assures me that it is "just the new system" and that it would not be shipping until Wednesday for a Thursday delivery. Okay, fine. On Monday (while on vacation), I got a Ring notification...yep...you guessed it, it was UPS trying to deliver my wine. Unfortunately, I was out hiking because I was on vacation (trying to relax), so missed the Ring call. Later that day, I tried to call Briana...listened to the whole message so I could leave a vm...mailbox full, could not leave message. Next, I sent Briana an email saying that there was an attempt to deliver the wine. Never heard anything back that day. UPS tried to deliver the wine the following day as well, but, of course, I was not home. Finally, late Wednesday, someone named Jamie calls me and wants the UPS routing number so they can tell UPS to bring the wine back and tells me they will reship a "fresh" order to me the following Monday (Oct 9). So, while on vacation, trying to relax, I search my emails to find the UPS routing number for her (shouldn't they have this information?? They are the shippers!). Never hear another thing from them. Monday (Oct 9) goes by, Tuesday (Oct 10) goes by....no wine...no email...no phone call. Tuesday evening, I tried to call again, but, of course, no one answered and the mailbox was full. I send an email confirming that my wine has actually been reshipped...I hear nothing until Wednesday evening when Briana leaves me a voicemail saying sorry (again) that they dropped the ball and to call her. I try to call, but, of course, no one answers and the vm box is full. I send another email Wednesday (Oct 11)...no response. I send another email Thursday (Oct 12)...no response. I send another email Friday (Oct 13)...no response. So, here I am on Saturday, feeling completely frustrated, again, with the complete lack of customer service and any sort of acknowledgement that this has now gone on for over two weeks and I have spent so much time on emails and trying to get through by phone just trying to get my wine club shipment that I PAID FOR IN FULL on September 26th. They had no problem with the charging...just the shipping, apparently. Just unreal. The most horrendous customer service I have ever experienced. I will definitely be telling everyone I know to stay away from this place.

Great Chardonnay! Great vibe and super good tunes!

All their wine is excellent and Service pourers were over the top . Knowledgeable and friendly (thx Teresa) . The shopping is great and really just a super cool spot with a funky vibe. A must visit for anyone in the area 😊🍷.
