Wineries at The Lompoc Wine Ghetto and Around the Town

With so many great tasting rooms in Lompoc you may need some time to hit them all. Looks like you may want to plan a few trips to this historic town that was founded as a temperance colony in 1874. Things have definitely changed over time. Lompoc is home to several wineries and tasting rooms, and one of the Top 10 Dive Bars in America. Walk the Old Town to enjoy over 40 Big Art murals gracing many of the historic buildings.
