Beautiful place, but comfortable and unpretentious. Â Stopped in last Friday evening to beat the heat before we headed out of town. Â Nice wine selections and decent prices. Â Unfortunately we had to leave before the music started... Â Will definitely be back next time we're in Solvang.
Review Source:My first impression of this wine bar was that somehow I'd walked into South Beach. And I mean that in a good way.
The decor is bright and modern, but at the same time spare. I was in Miami last year and there were numerous places with a similar vibe. After walking through so much Danish architecture, which is charming and rustic, this was a complete departure.
Eric, the owner, was very gracious and took time to ask us what types of wines we enjoyed and gently asked us to describe them. With that information he brought out some samples of varietals we may enjoy and allowed us to try them before deciding on a full glass. The wines we selected were very nice and the entire process was a really pleasant interaction.
The entire vibe is low stress and helpful, but fun and hip at the same time. If you're in Solvang I highly recommend a stop into Sante for a glass or three of wine.
Great wine, great recommendations, great atmosphere.... smelled a little strange.... but overall a great experience. They gave us some great advice, which we took, and they were spot on.
The two owners are so sweet - we walked away with 2 bottles of wine and 4 glasses for about $90. It was great. Definitely would come back here.
Best Wine Bar and Lounge - Amazing! We love the Santa Ynez Valley and the all the fantastic wineries and couldn't be more happier spending our time with the owner, Eric, sampling all the beautiful local wines. Â Picked up cheese and crackers from the market across the street for lunch and ordered Pizza from Cecco Ristorante for dinner-- We literally spent the entire day there! Â Eric made us all feel like life long friends! Â Excellent selection of wine and highly recommended. Â I know we will be life long friends and customers for many years to come! Â Sante!
Review Source:Wonderful addition to Solvang, unlike anything else in town. I went last Saturday with girlfriends. The space is sparkling white with wooden floor and subtle lighting that continuously changes in color. Modern, crisp, and very comfortable. The couches looked like you could spend all night lounging and talking. There was a live band playing.
Fantastic wine and beer selection: mixture of local and other locales. Great selections all around, extensive but not overwhelming. Prices just right. We shared a half bottle of lovely French champagne. My friends, who know the local wine scene well, were pleased with their pinots and chardonnays. Service was fast and attentive. I will go back and will recommend.
Tried this new wine bar/ lounge.... What a great experience,!! A couple of us did beer tasting while the others in our party did wine tasting.. Great variety of both . Prices on both are very reasonable. The owner Eric was very informative on both wine and beer!
The decor is fresh and light exactly what Solvang needed! Can't wait to go back to enjoy the evening with the variety of entertainment that Sante offers. Will definitely tell all my friends to go there!!!
