Drinking
Grand Ave and Alamo Pintado Rd are lined with wine and beer tasting rooms, which you
can amble between all afternoon long.

Los Olivos Tasting Room WINE BAR
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 805-688-7406; http://site.thelosolivostastingroom.com ; 2905 Grand Ave;

tastings $10; 11am-5pm)
Inside a rickety 19th-century general store, this tasting room stocks rare vintages you
won't find anywhere else. Well-oiled servers are by turns loquacious and gruff, but re-
freshingly blunt in their opinions about local wines, and pours are generous.

Sarloos + Sons WINE BAR

$10; 11am-5pm Wed-Fri & Sun, to 6pm Sat, last pour 30min before closing)
Wine snobs are given the boot at this shabby-chic tasting room pouring estate-grown,
small-lot Syrah, Grenache Noir, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc. Pair your wine flight
with a 'cupcake flight' ($10, available Thursday through Sunday).

Carhartt Vineyard Tasting Room WINE BAR
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ;

805-693-5100; www.carharttvineyard.com ; 2990A Grand Ave; tastings

$10; 11am-6pm)
An unpretentious tasting room inside a red-trimmed wooden shack leads onto a shady
garden patio out back, where a fun-loving younger crowd sips unfussy Syrah, Sauvignon
Blanc and 'Chase the Blues Away' rosé.
