Wine Tasting in Santa Maria Valley
​
​Santa Maria Valley has the perfect weather for growing grapes. History take us back to the 1830s when the Mexican ranchers starting the process. It was not until 1960 when the production of wine for commercial use started. Now Santa Maria Valley is well known for their fine wine and the world-famous Santa Maria Style BBQ.
​Right now there are more than thirty-four wineries and tasting rooms in the area which is famous for their Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. In our last weekend getaway we decided to explore some of them.

Ca' Del Grevino

​Ca’ Del Grevino Café & Tasting Room in old town Orcutt has a very welcoming atmosphere. The Café & Wine Bar serves lunch, full dinners, and wine tasting. 
Ca’ Del Grevino, meaning “House of Grewal Family Wines” is located at 400 E. Clark Ave. Orcutt, CA 93455
Ca' Del Grevino
CA’ Del Grevino wines come with four different designations, CA’ Del Grevino, Grevino, Element and Red Carpet. During our wine tasting experience we were able to taste Grevino and Element designations and compare the flavors of Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs, Dolcetto, Grenaches and Syrahs while seated near the fire place and enjoying good music.

I would really love to take a cave tour and taste wine from the barrel. I think I will ask my husband to take me to Santa Maria for my birthday
