After 35 years of crafting award-winning wines in the Santa Ynez Valley, Sunstone Winery is making a bold move that brings its legacy to one of California's most beloved coastal communities. On March 19, 2026, the doors open at the Sunstone Wine Lounge in Montecito — a first-of-its-kind experience that merges Sunstone's heritage with modern wellness innovation.
This isn't just a tasting room. It's a gathering space designed for those who appreciate fine wine, functional wellness, and unforgettable moments.
What Is the Sunstone Wine Lounge?
Nestled at 1294 Coast Village Road in Montecito — the premier stretch in one of California's most coveted communities — the Sunstone Wine Lounge represents a new chapter for the iconic California winery. The location puts Sunstone in the heart of Montecito's most celebrated dining and hospitality corridor, right alongside Lucky's Steakhouse, the Montecito Inn, Honor Bar, and the Lion's Tale, with the legendary Rosewood Miramar Beach just moments away. It's the address you want to be at on Coast Village Road.
This contemporary, lounge-forward space was designed in collaboration with Cabana Home to reflect Sunstone's commitment to both quality and atmosphere. Every detail matters here — from the natural stone accents that echo the winery's terroir, to carefully curated estate imagery that transports you straight to the vineyards.
The aesthetic is warm, welcoming, and unmistakably California. Whether you're stopping by for a long afternoon or a night out with friends, the lounge invites you to slow down, sip thoughtfully, and savor the moment.
What You Can Expect
Traditional tasting flights that showcase the breadth and depth of Sunstone's wine collection. These aren't generic pours — each flight tells a story of the vineyard, the vintage, and the vision behind every bottle.
Wines by the glass, curated for both the seasoned wine enthusiast and the curious newcomer. The expert team at the lounge is ready to guide you through the selection and share the passion behind each pour.
Wine cocktails that elevate the classic. These are craft creations that blend Sunstone wines with complementary ingredients, perfect for a more playful evening.
And here's where it gets exciting: Solis functional cocktails — the non-alcoholic alternative that brings the wellness revolution to Montecito. Crafted with functional mushrooms and nootropics, these beverages offer a completely new way to experience the art of cocktail culture without the alcohol.
The SOLIS Connection: Where Wine Heritage Meets Wellness Innovation
For those unfamiliar, Solis by Sunstone California is the functional beverage brand pioneering a new category of wellness cocktails. Made with carefully selected functional mushrooms and nootropics, Solis beverages are designed for those seeking the ritual and pleasure of a craft cocktail without the alcohol.
The Sunstone Wine Lounge marks one of the first places where you can experience Solis cocktails in person — a tangible bridge between Sunstone's 35-year wine legacy and the future of beverage innovation. It's a moment where tradition and transformation meet in the same elegant, welcoming space.
Whether you're reaching for a glass of Sunstone's award-winning organic wine or a Solis functional cocktail, this is a space that celebrates choice, quality, and the art of slowing down.
