Editorial Review for Stolpman Vineyards Tasting Room – by Tara de Lis
In Short
An angular wooden bar with old-fashioned brass stylings is the centerpiece of this upscale tasting room. Behind it, local characters well versed in the products will half-kiddingly, half-seriously suggest pairings like Rosato and hot dogs, while extolling the virtues of the 93-point, Parker-rated 2004 Syrah, one of the winery's flagship grapes. Other popular selections include Italian grape Sangiovese, and the popular L'Avion Roussanne blend, named for an old area airstrip that is now home to flatland-loving Rhone varietal grapes.

Insider Tips
ParkingYou'd think that since Solvang is such a small town parking would be easy, but frequent road closures and tourist traffic can make parking more difficult than imagined. If you're staying at an area hotel, it might be easier to just walk over.
Know Before You GoThe tasting fee is $8 and includes four wines. You also get to keep your small Riedel logo glass.
Fun FactThe full time vineyard crew participates in the La Cuadrilla Project, in which they are given a small parcel of land to manage, and share the bounty of the wine yielded from it.
