Corks n' Crowns Tasting Room and Wine Sales

One of the things I appreciate the most about this place is the variety of wines. While I do enjoy wineries that produce their own wine, I often find visiting those tasting rooms to be a little stale after a couple of trips. Cork’s on the other hand doesn’t make any of their own wine but instead showcases wine from all around the world. The selection frequently changes with a variety of tasting flights to choose from. The location is a little “funky” but that makes sense considering it lives in the funk zone. Relatively small with variety of seating areas including a bar, indoor tables, and both indoor outdoor fireplaces this place is an interesting spot to have some wine and people watch. It can get quite busy on the weekends, particularly if the weather is nice. And, at times it can even get a little rowdy when it’s packed (though I would never consider it unsafe). Located about a half a block from the ocean, this is a good location to stop in if you’re in the area and want some wine. The location frequently has live music in the afternoons. Also notable: they have a variety of beers on tap and in cans so if your entire party doesn’t want wine it’s another reason to stop here. Much like the rest of the area, parking is relatively slim. If you’re open to paying just a little for parking, I recommend the public lots either along Cabrillo (the beach) or the public lot on the corner of Garden St. and Cabrillo. If you opt for the Garden lot, there’s a pass-through into the back of Brass Bear that you can walk through to get to Anacapa Street so you don’t have to walk all the way around.

Great place for delicious wine and beers. I went for the sparkling wine flight for $15 which was fantastic and my partner loved his beers. Staff was wonderful, very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is laid back and perfect for people watching on the front porch. This was my favorite wine bar in SB, highly recommend!!

Cute spot to get a drink. A large menu of multiple wineries. I saw they have beer on tap also. Sunday you can get a cupcake and sparkling wine tasting. We tried that and the rose flight. The pairing of cupcakes and sparkling was surprisingly good. I was afraid it would be too sweet but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it all worked together.

Went for wine tasting. Excellent service: welcoming, very knowledgeable about the wines. 3 tastings for $20. Wines were good or better.

We spent a month in Santa Barbara and liked this place so much that we visited it five times! They offer wines from around the world and many from the nearby wine regions. They also have craft beers on tap. It’s a laid back, unpretentious, relaxing place to enjoy a bottle of wine (or do tastings) in the Funk Zone. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and remembered us after just our first visit. The tasting room itself is comfortable and there is also outdoor seating. We like to sit on the front deck and raise our glasses to the people going by on tours. Lol.

Love the music here! The wine is nice, and the seating is nice and cozy. They have a wood fireplace in the corner with couches to snuggle up on.

Great selection of wines with a cute outdoor patio area for sitting outside. Had a great Malbec during our tasting. Later in the evening there was live music. Great mis day stop during a Santa Barbara visit or date night

I’m from out of town but highly recommended by my niece. Good wine flight selection at affordable prices make this place worth going off the beaten path.
