Tucked into the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley, Turning Tide Wines is your destination for hand-selected wines, artisan groceries, and the kind of hospitality that makes you want to stay a while.
Turning Tide Wines was born from a simple conviction: that the best wine experiences don't happen behind locked gates at exclusive estates. They happen in a neighborhood shop where a knowledgeable team helps you find the perfect bottle for tonight — or the occasion six months from now.
Located on Roblar Avenue in the heart of Santa Ynez, we curate a rotating selection of wines from the Santa Ynez Valley and beyond, alongside artisan grocery staples that elevate everything from weeknight pasta to Sunday dinner. Every item on our shelves is something we'd serve at our own table.
From bold Central Coast reds to crisp white varietals, and from small-batch olive oils to house-made preserves — every product is chosen with intention.
Over 100 labels spanning Santa Ynez Valley Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Rhônes, and carefully sourced selections from across California and the world.
Small-batch olive oils, aged balsamics, local honey, specialty salts, and pantry essentials that turn a simple meal into something memorable.
Join us for guided tastings, pairing evenings, and seasonal celebrations. It's the easiest way to discover your next favorite bottle.
We've built something that serves both the locals who walk in for Tuesday dinner and the visitors discovering the magic of Santa Ynez for the first time.
Our team tastes extensively so you don't have to guess. Every bottle on our shelves has been evaluated for quality, value, and that elusive something that makes it special.
