Before You Visit
Do I need a reservation to visit Sunstone Winery?
Reservations are optional but will ensure faster service during peak visitation days such as weekends. Seated reservations may be subject to inclement weather.
Can I bring more guests than the total of my reservation?
The seating we reserve for you is specific to the number of guests in your party. We will only be able to accommodate additional guests if we have space available for your new party size. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to increase your guest count. Please keep in mind adults who will not be tasting wine and children out of stroller age must be included in your total guest count. While we cannot guarantee additional guests can be added to your reservation, we will do our best to accommodate changes if the number of total guests does not exceed 10 people.
Can I cancel or reschedule my reservation?
Plans change. Email taste@sunstonewinery.com or call (805) 688-9463 to cancel or move a reservation and we will sort it out with you. If you are running late, we hold your table for 30 minutes after the start time.
Group reservations of 11+ guests
A limited number of tastings are available to book for large parties of 11 or more, including minors and non-drinkers. If you are looking to visit with a party of 11 or more, please email us at info@sunstonewinery.com.
Limousine, bus & large group policies
We happily welcome large groups as well as bus and limousine companies with advance reservation. Our guests with group reservations must arrive on time. Any variance in your arrival time may result in the cancellation of your reservation without notice. Limos and buses will not be permitted after 3:00 pm. Drivers may drop-off and pick-up guests in the tasting room parking lot. Intoxicated guests and/or guests with outside alcohol cannot be admitted.
Someone in our party has mobility needs. Who should we tell?
Email taste@sunstonewinery.com before you visit if someone in your party has restricted walking ability, and we will make sure you are as comfortable as possible. If you have other access questions, call (805) 688-9463 before you book and we will tell you what the site is like.
