7. Royal Oaks Tasting Room
www.RoyalOaksWinery.com
Royal Oaks Tasting Room, located on Copenhagen Drive,  at the corner of First and Copenhagen, is one of the “best kept secrets” in the Santa Ynez Valley.  Royal Oaks Vineyard was planted in 1998 and their 18 acres include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Semillon. They also produce Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, and a Bordeaux blend called “Aristocrat.” The wines of Royal Oaks are less tannic, less acidic and less oaky than many others, so they are soft and silky on your palate.
If you are a wine drinker who prefers a sweeter style of wine, Royal Oaks offers a selection of semi-sweet wines. The tasting room is comfortable and informal, and each month different artists’ works are displayed.

Another wine, which was made from a blend of grapes, is called “The Sisters,” which received a “Best of Class” award and has been written up by Appleation America. These multi-award-winning wines, beginning with their 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon, taste as good as their stories suggest. So stop by and enjoy!
