Make your own Wine
We have broken into the barrels and brought down samples from our wine production facility in the Santa Ynez Valley for you to try. These barrels are stored in Irvine and aging on a daily basis just waiting for you to try them out and blend them together. Yep… we created a wine-blending facility just for you and your group.

Santa Ynez Barrel Wines
Our Wine Tasting and Blending Lounge is open BY APPOINTMENT only. We are so excited to have this awesome opportunity to let you become a strong and intimate part of the wine-making process at McClain Cellars. Come and enjoy our barrels of wines from our Santa Ynez Valley winery. You can make a wine, taste some vintages, and fall in love with the experience of being a winemaker for a day. So grab your significant other, friends, and family, and get ready to blend your own bottle of our “stupid” good wine.
Every guest will have an opportunity to really get their hands and palate in the winemaking process. We only offer red wines to blend with at this time. If, however, your guest would like to try tasting some white wines… we have you covered. You will barrel taste 5 different red wines that are in barrel and aging. We will gather these wines into small sample jars with you and work with them in our temperature-controlled warehouse. We will also supply you with beakers for measuring, a notepad to write down what you like and do not like, and a glass to sample with. You will then start blending and tasting until you’ve created the ultimate selection.
Each guest will get 1 bottle of the wine that they created to enjoy at home. If you want more bottles of the same wine….. not to worry… you can make more for an extra cost.

Just amazing. The price point is high but it's well worth it. This some of the finest wines I've tasted outside of going to a Vineyard itself.

I highly recommend this venue if you are a wine lover and you are in Laguna Beach

The best wine tasting in all of Laguna. The wine pairs amazing with the aesthetic of the scenery outside along amazing zest of all the exquisite cheese they have to offer. Taylor served us with a knowledge that only could be compared to the highest rated sommeliers. One of the best experiences I have ever had. Thank you and we will be coming back very soon!
Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful experience at our wine tasting event. We're looking forward to your next visit.

LOVE THIS PLACE! Wines are totally worth the price point, some of the best wines I’ve found in OC. Especially the Savannah Grace and the Olsen Ovation. Live music on Saturdays and Sundays. Always great artists. Charcuterie if you need something to snack on. Great restaurants next door for dinner after your wine tasting. An overall win win. You’ll find me here often 😊

This place is wonderful! Not just the wines (which are fantastic) but the wine hostesses, particularly Elizabeth, are top notch! We had the best time enjoying our flights... my wife had the white wine flight and I had the owners all red flight. Some of the best wine we've ever sampled! We ended up joining their wine club. We had great conversation and a great time overall. Highly recommend this winery with great indoor and outdoor spaces as well as a billiard table and lots of snacks. We will return anytime we're visiting Solvang!

First of all, a beautiful tasting room here in Solvang. We sat outside at our cute little fire pit table. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. We even tried the popcorn flight, which was good , not great, but I just thought some of them could use a little little bit more flavor, but I think the truffle was my favorite.I bought a bottle of wine, the Sofia, which was very good and also my daughters name is Sophia… would definitely go back again.

Amazing wines, Elizabeth was so helpful and knowledgeable. What a amazing tasting room experience.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for the kind words.
We really enjoyed the service by Taylor. We picked a wine flight to sample that was too fruity and not in our desired palette, Taylor noticed and brought us something drier and more of our liking. We found some wines we really liked and ordered some glasses of wine after our wine flight. Would recommend for service and atmosphere. A fun date spot for before or after dinner. This is my second visit here.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the kind words
Great wine and crazy friendly staff. They will go out of their way to explain each wine's flavor profile and will ensure you get what your pallet likes.

Came here not knowing what to expect and had THEE BEST experience ever. Between the art, the wine, and the best part Juliana!, the whole experience was an absolute delight. I don’t live near the area but I would make the 1.5 hour drive as much as possible so I could come here as often as possible. My cousin brought here (as a wine club member for the last three years) and now I understand why. Do yourself a favor and come check this place out.
Response from the owner: Dear Maesa,WOW, thank you so much for your kind words. We are so glad that your experience was so wonderful. We want everyone that walks in to feel like family. We may be biased, but we also think Juliana is is amazing 🙂 Please be sure to follow us on social media for all our upcoming events. Between the 4 locations we have, there is always an event.

If I can give McClain and Juliana 6 stars, I would. This place is filled with so much care and thoughtfulness. I met Juliana a few years ago when I joined as a wine club member and she and others are so welcoming. It has been an incredible experience getting to do complimentary monthly wine tastings, making connections with those who work at McClain and also people who I meet here along the way. Highly recommend if you love good stupid wine and good company. ❤️❤️
Response from the owner: Hi Rania,WOW, thank you for your kind words, it means the world to us. We so appreciate you and your loyalty and for being apart of the McClain Family. We may be biased, but we also would give Juliana 6 stars as well :)Please be sure to follow us on social media for all our upcoming events. We can't wait to see you soon. Cheers!

We went up to Laguna for the day while my mom was in town. After the traffic, the first thing we wanted to do was get some wine. We happened to come across this awesome little tasting room as our first stop AND ENDED UP STAYING FOR 3 HOURS!! My wife and I visited the Solvang location not too long ago and absolutely loved it. Our wine-tender Juliana was absolutely incredible! So knowledge, fun and kind. We loved our wine and out time. We will definitely be back! We also happened to run into THOR who happened to help build the tasting room with his hammer. True story! Thanks McClain!!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed yourself. Our staff and I make it a point to go above and beyond to ensure our guests feel welcomed and valued. I do hope that you visit us again soon.

Nice spot in Buellton and great service every time. Hayley helped me out both times I've been here and she described the wines with passion and enthusiasm each time. Good wine, good time!
Such a great place!
Nice people. Great wines.
Great wine!
Very pleasant surroundings and very nice wines served by the very accommodating server

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so glad to hear that you had such a fantastic time!
Jason was a phenomenal host. He encouraged us to just sit back and relax and enjoy our time in the beautiful venue. No pressure to move on to the next taste and get out. Wines were delicious. Also tasted popcorn and purchased candles and vinegar in addition to wine. Can't wait to buy some of the artwork when it's available. I'll definitely be back and recommend this as a stopping point when in the area!!!

Wonderful wine and wonderful experience.
Amazing experience! Award winning wines and amazing service. Everyone there was having a very enjoyable time. Highly recommended!
I had a wonderful experience at McClain Buellton!! The wines are delicious, and the staff are super knowledgeable, attentive, and courteous. The patio is a great place to hang out, enjoy a flight, and play some yard games. Looking forward to my next visit!
Even though all the electricity was out in Buellton and the surrounding area, Reid and Tiffany the hosts at McClain were perky and ready to serve and the wine was delicious. I am a wine maker and own a wine tasting company and I would refer this place to everyone. Can't wait to visit soon. Try the popcorn too.
We loved the wine and joined the club. Great tasting room in Buellton location. We live near Laguna another location where we can pick up wine.
Great place to hang out!
Went with a friend the other night and it was, by far, the best local wine I've ever tasted. The vibe was super chill and friendly. Definitely going back
I just found out that McClain cellars is up in Buellton now! We signed up for their wine club after being gifted some of their wine last summer and we have been very pleased with everything we have received from them! I look forward to visiting this tasting room and enjoying this as a local place to visit!
Delicious wines! Came here for a date night and was blown away. We did a wine tasting and loved each one we tried. The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. Don’t forget to try their popcorn! Can’t wait to come back!
The Tasting/Barrel Room is spectacular! It's not every place that you cab walk in that offers not only a great tasting service but lets you do it in such a cool space! Buellton is perfectly located in the middle of one of the great wine regions in the US, if not the world. Come on out and see this!
I have always known that McClain makes amazing wines and now we can enjoy them with friends and family at one of the best tasting rooms in the area! The attention to detail to create an amazing wine tasting experience is exceptional and the staff really know how to make a tasting enjoyable. See you again soon! Cheers!
This is the best looking winery in the valley. So relaxing and awesome to hang out in. Their wines are unique and super yummy. New place, can't wait to come back. Plus you can walk to other wineries, a brewery, and industrial eats all on the same road!
