Presqu'ile is a family-owned estate winery in the Santa Maria Valley, where the Pacific fog rolls in daily and cool-climate wines thrive. Founded by the Murphy family and farmed across over 70 sustainably certified acres, this is a place built around the belief that wine is best enjoyed slowly, with good food and people worth sharing it with. Estate Chef Julie Simon's kitchen draws from our one-acre organic garden. Our cave, hilltop pond, and vineyard blocks are yours to explore. And our team is here to make sure every visit feels less like a winery experience and more like a really good afternoon. Open daily, except Tuesdays.
“Wonderful Winery! We did the wine experience and were thoroughly impressed. The platter was so worth the price and the view was beautiful.”
“Visited Presqu’ile Winery and overall had a really enjoyable experience. The setting is beautiful—rolling vineyards, coastal breeze, and one of those views that quietly insists you slow down and stay awhile. The charcuterie board was a standout. Thoughtfully curated with a great mix of cheeses, meats, and accompaniments, it paired perfectly with their wines. Speaking of which, the wine selection was solid across the board—clean, well-crafted, and easy to enjoy whether you’re a casual taster or a bit more serious about it. We did tour the faciltt/cave and that, was awesome. The manager guy took us around for a brief tour and he was great. The only downside was the service. Our host came across as a bit disengaged and, at times, seemed bothered by our presence. Nothing overtly rude, but her energy was noticeably off and took away from what could have been a top-tier experience. All in all, a great spot for wine and bites—just hoping for a warmer welcome next time”
“Amazing winery, beautiful scenery, amazing service. We made reservations in advance so we didn't wait. We got the best server Alex I believe was her name. Attentive and knowledgeable of the wines served. The food was incredible,pairing perfectly with the wines.Also we didn't know dogs were allowed,so we will be bringing our furry companion next time. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Fantastic place to visit. Definitely get the mezzanine laung tasting experience. Everything was delicious and paired well. The wines are nice (its more about the experience) and the views are breathtaking. Really good place for a larger group.”
“Beautifully well-maintained winery with great views. Terrific place to host events. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.”
