Municipal Winemakers Santa Barbara — Santa Barbara Winery & Tasting Room

Municipal Winemakers is Dave Potter's downtown Santa Barbara urban tasting room — the municipal philosopher declaring wine production as a public service, a civic contribution, an amenity that every well-functioning municipality should provide its citizens. The Anacapa Street location in downtown Santa Barbara makes the winery as accessible as any other civic institution: no appointment needed, no rural drive required, wine tasting as a downtown activity rather than a destination pilgrimage. The urban tasting room produces Grenache, Syrah, and Rosé from contracted Central Coast vineyard sources with the civic-access philosophy the municipal naming implies.
