Clean Slate Wine Bar - Solvang, California

Great owners and wonderful staff. The location is excellent and the food incredible... They are not a regular restaurant, so check the day you are going to see what's on the menu and if they are hosting a private event. I totally recommend Fridays for the Viking Sandwich and a honey ale. They have awesome wines as well. One of the best local spots for my wife and I. Be sure to stop by when in Solvang.

I had a great time at this place and would recommend it to anyone. Jason, the owner, has a great knowledge of independent wine makers in the region. He has helped them for years and is now running a tasting room in Solvang that allows people with more wine making skills than Capital to get their wines in front of customers. We came twice in a weekend and joined the wine club. There is a great selection of Santa Barbara county wines in addition to the Bocce Ball Wines that Jason makes.

In addition, the place is cozy and relaxing, the service is great, and the food menu, though limited has really great wine pairings. This place is earned its reputation on Google maps.

Incredibly delicious food, I bit into the stuffed dates and could not believe how good they were. I’m gonna be dreaming about them ngl. The vegetarian gumbo that was available for cajón night was amazing and so filling. Also the sangria was perfect. Beautiful location, quiet and scenic.

After traveling to the region for our honeymoon, we can honestly say that Clean Slate was the highlight of our week long trip.

Beautifully presented in a quiet corner of Solvang - with plenty of outdoor and in door seating. Our server "Joey" was absolutely incredible. Friendly, Kind, Genuinely interested in us as customers and SUPER knowledgeable about the wine and food avaliable.

The wine tasting was fantastic- with a great range of Red, White, Sparkling and Rose wines from the local region. Joey's recommendation (Bocce Ball Volo Shot) was our absolute favorite.

We didn't plan on eating there, however after spending HOURS enjoying the company of Joey and the other staff and the incredible wines - we did - and boy we weren't disappointed. GORGEOUS food and vegetarian options of dishes if required.

We were even given a few complimentary drinks for our honeymoon celebrations - as well as Joey giving us his recommendations for things to do in the local area

I wish I could give clean slate, Joey, and everyone there more than 5 stars. An absolute highlight and delight.

We happened upon Clean Slate on a recent visit to Solvang. It was getting toward the end of the afternoon and we noticed the wine bar on the map we’d gotten at the visitor center. We were looking for a glass of wine and maybe a snack. We found it at Clean Slate! We enjoyed our visit very much and would recommend you stop in.

First of all, they have a whole bunch of wines available by the glass. More importantly though, if you don’t know exactly what you want, these folks are happy to pour you a sample to see if it’s to your liking. And at least in our case, they even opened a bottle or two just so we could get a taste. Eventually we settled on a couple glasses.

Our server was Joey and he was very knowledgeable about the wines! Not only that, he was just plain enthusiastic and genuinely interested in making sure we found something to our liking. We’d go back just for the great service.

We were there on a Thursday which is “Indian Inspired Menu” night. For our snack we had some freshly made hummus. Very good.

The owner, Jason, is so knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming. He makes and sells great wine. Can't wait to go back and hopefully try some of Chef Melissa's dishes.
