lompoc wine ghetto印象

Lompoc wine ghetto is great for visitors who want to taste great variety of wines from our valley. Located in industrial part of town but great because no need to travel in car. Many different wineries to choose from within walking distance. Each one wit& their own personalities inside. Highly recommend. Located off of 7th ave. & Chestnut

We suggest you skip the Palmina Tasting room and spend your time at other tasting rooms in the Ghetto and elsewhere in the Lompoc and Santa Ynez Valley. Palmina has a wide variety of Italian varietals, some that we like and some that we don't like. The tasting room is a hit or miss experience. Occasionally there is good customer service but our experience is that it is 50/50 on being a good or not good experience. We have been there when it was crowded but only one attendant available so we were ignored for several minutes. We have been ignored for several minutes when there was only a single other couple there. We are not demanding customers but continue to be disappointed with Palmina customer service as compared to all other local tasting rooms. Our latest poor experience was our inability to pick up a wine club shipment after being told that pick ups were available. Try other places first, use caution when considering membership in their wine club.

Went to Fiddlehead Winery there - there are probably twenty or thirty small wineries with tasting rooms in this industrial park. No atmosphere at all, if you are used to Northern California wineries. Most wineries there seemed to be small, operations with limited production. The wines I tasted were great, but not priced for someone who views wine as a daily accompaniment to meals. I view wine as food, but the Ghetto has many wines that are priced high enough to qualify as trophies. There is a charge (typ. $10.00) to sample the wines at each place, and in the two we visited the money did not count toward our purchases. Only open Friday thru Sunday. I recommend you find some lodging nearby if you are seriously wanting to sample more than a handful of the wineries. To not feel rushed, do your homework and find out whop's there, and who you want to visit. Hit it in the afternoon, before dinner. Take your time and hit maybe five or so in a day, then return for anohter day to sample some other lables if you wish,. otherwise you risk being overwhelmed. Don't bring the kids as they will have nothing to do. This is an asphalt industrial park with no charm at all. Bring your own picnic if you go there for lunch. There are tables for you to picnic at,.

Appropriately named! Not a lot of ambience, but efficiently set up for multiple tastings in a small area. Reasonably priced, good value for money spent.

We did not check out all the various wineries represented at the Wine Ghetto, because I wanted to sample the Pinot Gris that FGC bottled. Unfortunately, they were not pouring their Pinot Gris this month. We tried their "Bubbly Flight", which was OK, but not transcendant. I bought a bottle of the PG, and sampled it later. It was quite good, but not to match the same labels from Willamette Valley Vineyards or King Estates, from Oregon.

Heard about the ghetto from some of the wineries we visited. What a concept....! According to the wine expert in our family (not me...the "better half") there were some really good wines available for tasting & purchase. This concept saved many miles driving to different wineries. Come to find out, some of the establishments are wineries/blenders not growers---which is fine if the product is good. If you get a chance to visit the Ghetto; take advantage of the opportunity-----beautiful drive from Slovang/Buellton to Lompoc.

A friend knowledgeable in wines recommended this place. Drove over with some friends while staying in Solvang. At first we couldn't figure it out. It's an industrial business park. You just walk around to the different spots. Ended up having a great time and enjoyed all the wines. Only went to four which means we will return. Highly recommended for folks who enjoys wine.

Small producers share their wines. Some of our favorites...Palmina, Stolpman, Fiddlehead...lots of choices here. Make a day of it with a picnic using one of the tables in the parking lot or over at the River park a couple blocks away.

The location is not romantic, it is behind a Home Depot, but the wines are excellent. Lots of wonderful little wine tasting rooms with in a 2 block area.

Always a delight to spend time with winemakers and their wines. Wish we could go more often. This visit was to the newly opened LaMontagne tasting room. Check out Kimberly Smith's Pinot Noir made with fruit from the Huber Vineyard. First class!
