+ More
Mr. Lucas and Mr. Lewellen own close to 400 acres of grapes and produce a dizzying array of French and Italian-style wines. Walking the streets of the charming European-style village of Solvang, you will pass candy and ice cream stores, specialty gift stores, restaurants, and tourist shops, and in the mix you will find a number of storefront tasting rooms.
Lucas & Lewellen offers a lively tasting bar along with an extensive gift shop crammed with wine and gift items. The mood is relaxed, with bar stools and even a table for kids to entertain themselves while parents learn about the wines. Outside is a small covered porch with flowers and a grape arbor overhead, plus a wine barrel fashioned into a bubbling fountain.
