Wonderful wine tasting experience, so relaxed. Really felt the owner gave us personal attention. The merlot is exceptional!

I always have a wonderful time in this charming tasting room. Its one of the oldest ones around, and its always been consistent. The Grenache is the best in town, and Mr. Bedford is fun to talk to about everything from books to pinot clones!

Weve been going to Bedford for many, many years. Steven Bedford is the owner and hes also there to pour and tell you all about the wines. Were also members of their club - we enjoy it that much.We were driving back from Bend, OR, where we picked up a car. We stopped by Bedford to see what new wines he had. We were greeted by Steven and his super friendly demeanor - what a great guy! He asked us if we wanted indoor or outdoor - we decided outdoor. It was a gorgeous day and we felt blessed to be in such a beautiful place. He had some grapes for his guests to try - we tried them all - Chardonnay, Grenache and Pinot Noir. He told us about the grapes, where they were grown - personally, I thought the Pinot Noir grapes had a very unique flavor that I really liked. She liked the Grenache, because they were a bit riper and of course sweeter!Steven, poured us a 2017 Chardonnay, which was very well made. Not the over oaked, buttery chard, but a nice crisp chard with some fine nuances.Next was the 2012 Pinot Noir. This was my favorite - well made, great aroma (smells like Pinot from the area), delicious with a lot of complexity, but its also a little softer, due to the age! Fantastic Pinot!Next was the 2012 Merlot. Another excellent wine, aged well and nice complexity. Also has the aroma of the area. Nothing like the grocery store merlot weve come to expect.He poured us a blend that he made for his dad. A very nice blend, well balanced and some nice complexity. Another stellar wine.We enjoyed all four and were looking forward to another trip to Bedford.We highly recommend going to Los Alamos and seeing Steven Bedford. Enjoy his delicious wines and join his club.

Great small winery! Theres not many wineries around that you can sit and chat with the winemaker on any given day. Stephen has been making amazing wines for many years in Santa Ynez valley, and is a food historian. Love this place!

One of the best wineries not only in the area, but California. Restraint and elegance, yet forward with the wine makers personality and style.

Exquisite wines with deep character that are always eminently drinkable. Lucio, Helen, and Stephan (the winemaker) are among the friendliest staff I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. They made us feel like family on our first visit and we joined their club on the spot based on their service and the quality on Stephans wines. This is a must visit for us every visit to the Santa Barbara wine country.

Do not join the wine club, shipments are promised by Stephan to be sent and are never received. We had to resort to filing a claim with our bank to recover funds for wine never shipped after multiple delays over several months. , a friend also has not received wine promised to be shipped last year and still after many phone calls she was told she is SOL and cannot get her funds returned. unethical...

If you are a fan of old world style wines, you would be hard pressed to find a better winery on the central coast. Stephen Bedford has a wealth of knowledge about all things Wine and food and his passion for both shows through!! He is currently releasing the 2012 vintage of his Field Blend, Grenache, Cabernet Sauv. As well as his Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc. You can taste the love in the wine! Make sure you say hi to his wonderful mascot Hitch, best wine dog in town.Hands down one of my favorite boutique wineries!
