Cambria Winery

I was looking for a winery to go in Santa Maria as I was already going to Bien Nacido and had some extra time. I settled on Cambria, mostly because of the new tasting room. I wasn’t too familiar with most of the wineries on the Foxen Wine Trail, but Cambria seems celebrated for its Chardonnay so I decided to try it out.

The location and tasting room are gorgeous. There’s a little picnic area on a hill as you drive in that overlooks the Santa Maria Valley. The tasting room is well decorated, new and clean. It’s definitely a nice location.

The service was good, they try to figure out which of their wines is your style and don’t necessarily go off a scripted menu. That was a welcome change from other wineries.

Alas, I was not a big fan of the wines. They are on the riper / fruitier side. Very fruity Chardonnay, extremely rich Pinot Noir. They have some wines that are a little less ripe and slightly more acidic but overall this isn’t my style of wine.

Overall a good experience, just not my cup of tea.

Excellent Burgundian style wines, just what we needed to finish our wine journey through the central coast! Enormously recommend.

Fabulous! Fabulous! Fabulous! Absolutely adore the safe at Cambria. Brenda & Danica are.wonderful! We are members here and look forward to visiting. Delicious wines. Fabulous customer service. Highly recommend.

Staff was friendly and helpful, the wine we had was good and the scenery was great

If you like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay this is the place for you! My wife and I shared both flights available and every wine was excellent. Danica, our hostess was great as was Brenda. We had a great time and met some wonderful patrons as well. The tasting room was awesome. We sat inside near the fireplace and could see the vineyard in front of us and the wine barrels and vats to the side. Over all a great experience and I highly recommend for Pinot and Chardonnay enthusiasts!
