Beautiful vineyard; winetasting costs $10, which is common at most tasting rooms, and the wine is tasty. The time we were there, however, the person doing the pouring often had to ask someone else in response to questions that were asked, but the setting is beautiful, and hopefully as he gains experience, he'll know more!

Owner description:
Riverbench Vineyard was established in 1973, when its first Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes were planted on the property. For years since then, some of the most renowned wineries in Santa Barbara County have purchased our fruit for their own wines. Over time Riverbench has become a prominent name for high quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the Santa Maria Valley.In 2004, a group of local families purchased the property. Wine drinkers themselves, the owners quickly became enamored with the wine industry and decided to start producing their own wine label using small quantities of their exceptional fruit. Riverbench Winery was born.The first vintage included both Estate and Reserve versions of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Since then, our portfolio has increased to include new interpretations of these noble varietals. All Riverbench wines are made in limited quantities, and many are available exclusively through our tasting room.We are a Santa Barbara Green Business!

My daughter worked here since opening, and it's always been a beautiful place for tasting. The tasting room is small but beautiful, and the landscape is perfect for picnicing, Boce Ball and Horseshoes, all set up there for you.

Visited Riverbench while on a wine tour of the area. It was definitely a favorite! Beautiful grounds, warm, inviting tasting room and by far the most friendly staff! Really enjoyed the wines we tried too! Can't wait to return!
