Located in the Spanish archways of El Paseo, Margerum Wine Company is one of Santa Barbara's premier tasting rooms. This location features a mission style tasting bar, friendly staff and acclaimed wines. Enjoy a classic tasting flight ($15), reserve tasting flight ($15) or wines by the glass. Winemaker Doug Margerum is using his experience in the restaurant industry to produce wines that pair well with food. In 2016 Margerum's Sybarite Sauvignon Blanc was served at a White House State Dinner. Many of the press pictures feature President Barack Obama toasting the Prime Minister of Singapore with the Sauvignon Blanc in hand. Margerum hosts two tasting rooms in El Paseo. This location can be reserved for private events and is the first to fill on weekends. Margerum’s reserve tasting room is located down the Spanish corridor and offers the same tasting flights and prices.

  • 2013 Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc
    Margerum Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc is from a section of the vineyard that was set aside for the production of this wine. Ideal growing conditions allowed for full flavor and sugar ripeness from exposed bunches, while retaining acid from the shaded bunches. The grapes were hand-picked in perfect condition and then crushed, pressed, and fermented at a very cool temperature for three weeks. The wine has intense varietal aromas, a luscious mouth feel with a clean finish.
