Municipal Winemakers on Postcard

"Our favorite wine stop in the SB Funk Zone. Quirky and fun old school interior, it’s located in the old Divers Den building (the sign is still up outside!), and has quite the art wall going on to your right when you first walk in. They have goal of making wine that is both beautifully packaged and easy to drink, and they’ve definitely achieved it so far. Come here to stay a while, bring a friend, sit out on their patio, try out a wine flight and have a good time while listening to the waves crash at the beach just a few steps away." - Amanda Proudfit

"Or for a Santa Barbara wine, Municipal Winemakers is David Potter’s Funk Zone winery in a former dive shop." - Sophie Friedman

"There are a number of great tasting rooms in Los Alamos, but MUNI is our favorite. Located in a tiny standalone cabin in front of the Alamo Motel, a typical stop at MUNI goes like this: You come in for a quick wine flight, end up staying for two hours talking to the bartender about Mubbly (and why it tastes so good), then spend all night hanging out on the wooden bench swings outside. If you come on a Saturday in the summer, chances are they’ll be doing an outdoor movie screening as well." - Brant Cox

Awesome wines and lovely dogs welcomed me!! I liked the Pale Pink Rosé made from Grenache the most.

Did a winetasting that went from light white wines to dark red wines. Overall they were good over an afternoon chat with friends. However, I will probably have to make a second visit to try the winetasting again if it is a revolving taste program. The wines we tasted did not necessarily stand out that day, the notes seemed a bit muted. What was not muted however was the vibe of the location. They had an onsite DJ that evening in the front outdoor area and a really great overall energy from the staff and fellow patrons. Again, will have to make another visit.

Ok I came, I saw, I tasted. I think the decor and the vibe exceeded the wine. But this is me talking. I mean who has the same taste. I not a fan of the wine but the place had a unique vibe so that is points in my book.

Not your typical wine-tasting in the Funk Zone. Vibe changes with who is behind the counter, and if you are a fan of natural wines, this is THE place to go check out. The Bubbly makes for a great mimosa, too. There is usually a food truck close by or right in front.

Awesome experience in an overly bougie area, more comfortable, loved the DJ. More reasonable wine flight price. More down to earth servers. Delicious wine . Loved the red blend.

If you're searching for low key, unpretentious winery in Santa Barbara, then you have to visit Municipal Winemakers. It's an excellent spot with a welcoming eclectic atmosphere, and the staff is knowledgeable and passionate about their wine. They offer an extensive selection of wines, ranging from bold reds to crisp whites, and their blends are truly unique. The tasting room is eclectically furnished made from repurposed old office furniture , and the ambiance is very relaxed. Municipal Winemakers is also notable for its commitment to sustainability, utilizing only locally sourced, sustainably farmed grapes and striving to reduce their environmental impact. The staff is friendly and always happy to describe the flavors and characteristics of each wine. They take the time to ensure that your experience is enjoyable and informative. For a fantastic wine tasting experience in the 805 area, be sure to visit Municipal Winemakers. It's a decision you won't regret

Visited here on our way through Santa Barbara after seeing it recommended online and was not disappointed. Amazing wines and Jill was the loveliest host. Leave any ideas of pretentious wine tasting at the door. Thank you so much, so glad we can get this wine shipped to the U.K.

One of my favorite places to visit in the funk zone. Good outdoor seating and the fact that they're open late, makes it a go to spot for locals and those visiting from out of town to enjoy some good wine. My personal favorite is the Bright Red, but I don't think I've ever had a bad wine there.
