CrossHatch Winery
Shop our collection of current release wine blends that are the perfect pairing for any occasion. All of the wines produced by CrossHatch Winery are co-fermented blends sourced from Santa Barbara County vineyards. Some of the best and oldest wines in the world are made this way, but with the micro-climates of Santa Barbara it really adds another layer to the process.

Co-fermentation brings out and creates flavors in the wine that would not have existed otherwise. This makes the CrossHatch wine truly one of a kind.

Wine is excellent. Tasting room is brand new, spacious, and very nicely decorated with comfortable seating. A gem of a tasting room in Santa Ynez. Grab some lunch at Dos Carlitos right across the street then pop in for some wine. Love it and will be back often.

Really great find in Santa Ynez. Pretty straightforward wine tasting - we were the only ones there when they opened on Friday and got to sit in Adirondack chairs on the lawn.

All the wines are blends. Had no intention of buying any wine, but was surprised by how good they were!! Ended up taking home 6 bottles.

I'd definitely do a repeat visit to CrossHatch! Recommend you give it a shot.

The wine server here (Natalie) was really great and very informative. She gave a lot of great recommendations. She also knows a lot about wine. The patio and lounge areas here are really cute as well. The bad part is the wine. It's all pretty bad but it's a cute place to share a glass and take pictures.

The venue was promising at the top of a windmilled building but the wine a disappointment especially at $20 a tasting.

Our server seemed more interested in her dog playing behind us and what time it was, than engaging us with the wines she was pouring.

All would have been forgiven for a good wine tasting but alas, it was not.

Save your money for better wines elsewhere in town.

What makes a trip to Solvang even better? Drinking wine in a windmill makes it better! This little tasting room is a hidden gem in the little town of Solvang and Since we were staying at the Hadston House, our wine tasting was complimentary!! The wine is spectacular and our host was very helpful in explaining the different wines. The prices per bottle are not that expensive from what we saw. So don't just walk past this windmill, walk up the stairs and try some wine!

Arrived on a Tuesday at 3:21 PM. The gate was open with a sign that said "Open" but at the front door, there was a hand-written post it note saying "Be Back in 15". We waited until 3:48 PM (27 minutes) with no one in sight so unfortunately we didn't even get to try the wines.

My wife and I visited this tasting room a few weeks ago and we had such a good time, we decided to come back again this week! The tasting room is actually located inside of a windmill, which is perfect for the area, and the wine selection was very good with a nice mix of reds and whites. The best part of our visit was Nataly', who was serving the wines on our first visit and we were very happy to see her working again on our return trip. Nataly' was friendly, knowledgeable, she greeted everyone with a smile, and made everyone feel right at home! Thank you Nataly', we will definitely be back!!!

CrossHatch Winery is a very special place and, winemaker. Owners Jessica & Ryan Carr are clearly about grapes and all things "wine" and it shows in their highly quaffable wines, all five varietals.

This is a unique, small production winery, with remarkable attention to detail (including the gorgeous labels which could have been created by Albrecht Durer himself) and the wines, of course.

The Carrs have also gone to a lot of trouble to create a cozy, unique space to taste, the top of an old windmill in downtown Solvang which, by the way, is rapidly becoming a very cool place that

The atmosphere absolutely makes this place! Gorgeous views from the rooftop patio that can't be found elsewhere. The staff is top notch. Wines were unique and affordable.

I have to admit, the wine -- all blends -- were the worst I've tasted. I wouldn't go back except for the outdoor seating. I would avoid this place if you really like wine.

Drinking wine in a windmill? Uh yessss!!!

This tasting room is cute and cozy and perched high in the windmill!
There are like 3-4 tables inside and like 6-7 stools at the bar. You get to try 5 (I think) different wines and you have the option of taking your wine glasses home as a souvenir!
Unfortunately, you can only get up to the room via stairs. It may not be the best for anyone that may have trouble going up and down them.

Since it's inside a windmill, space is a bit limited but it's easy to stop elsewhere for a bit then come back and I'm sure space will open up for you!

It was a lot of fun visiting this unique winery in Solvang. When else are you going to be able to go wine-tasting at the top of a windmill? My friends and I got to hang out on the outside deck while tasting on a beautiful, sunny day. The associates came outside and poured for us whenever we were done with each wine instead of us having to go inside each time. That was a really nice touch. Another great thing was they not only shared with us adorable little mermaid wine charms for our glasses, but let us keep the glasses as well. I consider this winery a must-see in Solvang.

I fell in love with this place.
I tried the "Depth" one and my boyfriend got the rosé, but I forgot which one he got.. BUT they were both super good! Workers were very friendly and professional!
My favorite thing here was that the place is very aesthetic and cute
I would come here anytime I visit Solvang again!

Did the flight wine tasting there today. The wines here were so gross. I couldn't even drink them. The last one we tried was the only one bearable out of the 5. Me and my fiancé like sweet wines. If you prefer sweet wines, this place is not for you. If you like dry wines maybe it's more your thing but we couldn't stand it... the cheese and crackers were great though. The lady helping us wasn't really paying attention to us when we needed more wine but the gentleman working there was on top of things

Who wants to drink in a windmill??? I do! I do! I do! This is a sweet tasting room! It's a little hidden because it's not right in the middle of all the action but it's the huge windmill you can see from across town!
They offer a nice variety of wines both red and whites. They allow everyone to bring in food from the restaurants down stairs. I did see a few people with cheese platters to pair with their wine. Looked good too!
Although the tasting room is quite small, let's be real it's inside a windmill, they have a balcony with tables and chairs so everyone can enjoy

The quintessential Solvang experience! Who doesn't want to drink wine in a windmill? The service is excellent and friendly, the space is awesome and the wine is INCREDIBLE! Couldn't ask for more, felt like family by the time I left. Can't wait to go back.
