Roblar Winery & Vineyards Description
A new destination winery with expansive wine and culinary offerings is now open in Santa Ynez Valley just off highway 154. Roblar’s focus is on wine, gourmet foods and the culinary arts.
The rambling wood-sided complex has gardens, terraces, lawns, verandas and one of the largest fireplaces this side of Hearst Castle. The architecturally dramatic tasting room has soaring wood beamed ceilings and creates a stunning setting for enjoying their Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Syrah and Cabernet Franc. The adjacent 18 acres of vineyards is planted to Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Merlot.
The main facility includes a complete commercial kitchen and cooking school. Cooking classes are taught by guest chefs from around the nation. In addition there are daily educational wine and food pairings, a gourmet food market, vineyard tours and ample picnic grounds. A full lunch menu is available Wednesday through Sunday and features gourmet salads, soup and hot panini sandwiches. Wines are only available at the winery and on their website.

 WineLoveradamjf, San Diego December, 2007 The wines I thougt were not bad - I enjoyed the Semillion and the Cabernet Franc, but the prices were steep I thought for the taste, especially since this is a new winery. The cab franc for $60.00? Come on, I can get one just as good for half.

DissatisfactionMsThang, Pheonix November, 2007 One of my least favorite Southern Californian Wineries. The buildings and tasting room are nice and the layout of the winery is very well done. However, the wine is not that good. It needs a lot of work to say the least. At that, if I had to chose a "favorite" (and I hate to use that word cause I would never buy any of their wine to begin with), I would say the 2004 Syrah is the "best". The Syrah was not horrible but was a bit tart of my taste. The aroma hinted of spice and vanilla. There is a culinary school on the grounds as well which is, from what I've heard, very good. All in all...stay clear of Roblar, at least until they get things in order and can offer some more-than-mediocre wines which is not at the time even possible.
