“We are proud members of Samsara and love it so much! It’s fun that they have tasting rooms both here at home in Goleta and also in Los Olivos if we want to take a little jaunt into the valley. The wine is exceptional, especially the pinots. The folks at Samsara are such lovely people - Julie, Jack and Genevieve are especially kind and we love seeing them! The programming at the Goleta location is great (bands come to play, etc). Plus, there is a woman at the LO location who brings her guitar and plays/sings! What’s not to love about a free concert?! The value is incredible. We have gifted membership to our parents in NYC and they also loved it. Oh, and they’re super dog friendly! Our dog Pismo loves to hang out there, and everyone is so kind about his antics.”
“We had a wonderful elevated tasting through much of the portfolio. Great Chardonnays, Pinots and GSMs. A few surprises were the new Sparkling Brut, single vineyard Grenache and Mourvèdre and also feel in love with the special Pinot, Lotus. The staff is super friendly which is fitting for the tasting room atmosphere. Tristan was especially knowledgeable on the region and their specific wines. We also spent time with the owners Dave and Joan who are in the tasting room in Goleta frequently. They are very passionate about all wines, but also very familiar with the region and their production. We highly recommend a visit and tasting!”
“We have been members here for a few years and always feel like VIP’s when we come to taste or pick up shipments. 12/10 would recommend”
“We are huge fans of Samsara wines. Consistent, high quality and beautiful wines. We have enjoyed our tasting room experiences with friendly, knowledgeable staff.”
“Samsara is a must stop if you are in the Goleta area. The staff is knowledgeable in more than just their wines but also the entire Santa Rita Hills viticulture. We felt welcomed immediately upon arrival. Julie was an excellent hostess and we even got to visit with the owner. High quality wine at very reasonable prices. If you’ve never liked a Chardonnay, please try theirs!”
