Helix Tasting Room

Why visit the Helix tasting room?

Do you like Sparkling and Dessert wines? We ask because there is a funky little room in Buellton specializing in just those types of wine. This is Kalyra Winery’s second tasting room, and they subtitle it the Evolution of Wine. Kalyra is known for bringing a laid back “beach comber” feel to the wine scene of Santa Barbara County. They were a major feature of the epic wine tasting/buddy movie Sideways. The Helix tasting room gives them an opportunity to build on their success and feature new wine styles.

They serve a variety of highly-rated fortified Muscats, Liqueur Muscats, Ports, and a number of wines in the Eiswein style. They even serve a Merlot Angelique and a Sparkling Blanc De Noir. These are classics for anyone with a sweet tooth or a need to celebrate.

In fact, this tasting room is a great place for a party. Not only are the wines great for a good time, but the whole vibe is laid-back and fun. It starts with a building fronted with corrugated tin and wood, and then continues with an interior decorated with brightly colored abstract paintings. Mismatched furniture completes the fun. If you would rather sip your bubbly outside, they have a patio sporting picnic tables and pine benches. It provides just the right level of sun and shade for any event you have planned. And if you want a unique wine experience, they have a trailer in their porch that has vintage barware and furniture.

It is truly the next step in the evolution of wine tasting, so if you whether you want to relax or throw your Bachelorette party, Helix is the tasting room to try.
