Description

Specialties

Handcrafting small-​lot Rhone and Burgundy varietals. 1,400 cases from 16 different vineyards blocks. We are located in the «world famous» Lompoc 93 436 Wine Ghetto. Limiting production to 1400 cases allows us the time to pay attention to all the important details, our club members join us in the vineyard and winery to implement some of these details. We also offer excellent charcuterie, cheeses and sandwiches in our 5,000 square foot indoor/​outdoor tasting room. You will have fun here too as we have adult sized jenga, darts, Cornhole and many other distractions. We also rent our facility for private parties including weddings, retirement and birthday parties. Many weekends we have a guest chef doing a pop up event. If you have a large group we can create a special winemaker dinner as well.

History

Established in 2013.

We started in our garage in 1992 moving to a bonded winery in 2009. We finally made the last step by opening our tasting room in 2013. We make handcrafted wines from 16 small vineyard blocks we manage across Santa Barbara County. Our motto is Serious Wine Serious Fun.

We are serious about food also and usually have something fun going on. Check our facebook for current events

Best winery in the Lompoc Ghetto. Shoutout to (dammmmm) Daniel for being an awesome «wine aficionado» ! We highly recommend this place for a chill time to drink some wine. Definitely will be back!

Friendly hostess immediately welcomed us into a «beachy», laid back atmosphere. The warehouse interior opens up to a «fun house» backyard patio with jenga, corn hole, darts, and other games. There’s even complimentary sunscreen to complete the setting. Water is offered at no cost, and my group received complimentary wine glasses at the end of our visit. The separated patio perhaps doesn’t allow for intimidate conversation with the winemakers, but if that’s what you’re looking for there’s plenty of space inside of the main building. Can definitely get lost in this venue for hours… just don’t let it put you off exploring the rest of Lompoc’s famous Wine Ghetto.

I love Montemar! We have met the owners, Steve and Caryn, at a couple of wine events. They are wonderful people. Their wine is awesome too which is a great bonus. When you visit the Lompoc Wine Ghetto, you must stop by their tasting room. It is a pleasant space with a really nice backyard full of games, a beach and a stage for entertainment.
Last week we visited the tasting room and met Michele. She is the tasting room manager and she treated us like long lost friends. Thanks, Michele for making us feel welcome.

It is not often you get the winemaker to give you a lesson on how to make wine. Thank you Steve for the education on the different ways to make Rose. Wonderful wines and a great time as always!

Amazing wines. Michelle stayed open late and did not disappoint. We were fortunate enough to have Steve the winemaker drop by who gave us a class on his craft. A true professional and all around great guy. Don’t bother with the rest, hit up the best… Montemar.

Really nice small winery in the Lompoc wine ghetto. The wine was great. The winemaker’s wife was working– very nice! Great little family owned spot with a fun back patio with all kinds of games (giant jenga, etc). Not pretentious all… just good wine and nice people-​great cheese selection too.

If you’re here with friends for wine crawling, you have to stop here! The backyard area has for hole, darts, jenga, and comfy beanbag chairs in a sand pit. They also have cheese boards and charcuterie that was unfortunately missed out on. We did the normal wine tasting (not the Pinot) and my boyfriend ended up taking home a Sauvignon blanc. We didn’t want to leave :(but had to keep crawling!

When in Lompoc you have to check out MONTEMAR,
Not only is it the only spot in the Lompoc ghetto that has a backyard kick back, but the host is HANDSOME AND FROM THE AIRFORCE. You will leave this amazing wine spot knowing the history of the owner Steve, who is an amazing man! You’ll definitely leave this AWESOME place saying «DAMN DANIEL»

I have been to Italy, France and Spain, 3 world fairs, and a bar in New
Orleans and I’ve never seen anything like this place. Also, the proprietor is a mighty fine gentleman and winemaker. The wines are at the top! The interior and the outside wine-​tasting area are decorated so wonderful. You may want to put Montemar on your Bucket List of places to go — it’s a destination!

You can’t miss this place. Phenomenal wine, live music, and great atmosphere. There is a montemar beach in the backyard, plenty of games to play and the owner Steve is a friendly and down to earth kind of guy. Everybody is very knowledgeable and helpful. Will definitely come back!

My girlfriend I went tasting in the Wine Ghetto. She loves Pinots and I like Rhones. We found Montemar on Unilocal and it was perfect. Brittney, the server, was very knowledgable about all the wines. My girlfriend loved all three Pinots that she tried. This i the first winery that i’ve loved everything i tried.
Because we were on a long road, we unfortunately could not buy a lot of wine, but we did grab a couple of bottles and headed over to the nearby Scratch Kitchen restaurant, which was highly recommended to us by Brittney and the food was outrageous. Only $ 5 corkage fee.

If your looking for a great atmosphere and even better wine this is your golden goose. The atmosphere consists of a family like welcome with a specialized backyard play/​relaxation zone. If your visiting the central coast, this is a great stop on your journey. This winery has it all!

Great wine and great people more than happy to educate you about the wine. The wines here are great! I have never had such young wines that are amazing and the normal aged wines are fantastic. This place is a must! Ones of the absolute best in the wine ghetto. I bet they will expand out.
