 Collective Tasting Rooms A New Trend in Wine Tasting

Multi-winery tasting rooms meet consumers' demands for atypical and conveniently located wine tasting experiences

This shift from the traditional wine tasting experience of venturing between wineries makes it easier for customers to sample a wide range of varietals and styles -- and in less time, thanks to the advantage of being in one place. It's a trend that travelers and tasters are embracing.

Located along scenic Highway 46 West, Wines of the West features everything from Rhone and Bordeaux varietals to non-traditional varietals in cans; the four different brands - Clayhouse Wines, Purple Cowboy, If You See Kay and Alloy Wine Works - can be enjoyed within one of two areas: a traditional wine salon style tasting setting and a more eclectic space known as the CAN-tina. Further enhancing this one-stop shop is the on-site restaurant, Heirloom Kitchen, which serves farm fresh California fare daily.

SANTA BARBARA: The Santa Barbara Wine Collective, located in Santa Barbara's hip Funk Zone neighborhood, has modeled this customer-focused experience since it first opened five years ago, welcoming visitors to discover a range of Santa Barbara wines from one singular tasting room.

Also in Santa Barbara County, the Lompoc Wine Ghetto beckons with one large, industrial space from which to explore myriad wines from area producers.
