The Mission Style Winery, Tasting Room, and Visitor Center echo the traditions of California's past with long, cool verandas surrounding a stone courtyard graced by the sound of fountains splashing in the sun.

Buttonwood Farm Winery is a small gem set amidst the splendor of Santa Barbara County's Santa Ynez Valley. Our 39-acre vineyard stretches across a sun-drenched mesa on the eastern portion of our 106-acre property. We started planting in 1983 and now have 33,000 vines, small in the world of wine, but huge to us.

Buttonwood's varietal mix of sauvignon blanc, semillon, marsanne, merlot, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, and syrah reflects the preferences of owners Betty Williams and her son-in-law, Bret Davenport, for Bordeaux and Rhone style wines. As we expected, they grow perfectly in our warm, eastern Santa Ynez Valley location.

A connection with the land and the Santa Ynez Valley drives the mission of Carhartt Vineyard. Mike and Brooke Carhartt produce estate-grown Merlot, Syrah, Sangiovese and Rosé. They are winegrowers who carefully craft artisanal wines from the ten-acre vineyard, which sits high on a mesa overlooking the family ranch and from the adjacent three acre Eleven Oaks Vineyard. At historic Rancho Santa Ynez, which has been in the Carhartt family for over half a century, the focus on creating an exceptional product from the family land continues today.

Carhartt Vineyards cozy tasting room in the charming town of Los Olivos combined with its exquisite wines is a perfect pairing.

Carina Cellars is the result of an avid wine collector with a dream who meets an accomplished winemaker with a vision. When attorney and businessman David Hardee and winemaker Joey Tensley met in 2002, they were quick to recognize the benefits of combining their passion. With Hardee's talent for business, Tensley's talent for wine making, and a shared belief in only the best, Carina Cellars was born.

Our goal at Carina Cellars is a simple one: to produce top-quality Santa Barbara County Rhône wines that showcase and emphasize terroir above all else. We partner with growers who share our philosophies on farming – a dedication to canopy management, low yields and vine balance. Our winemaking approach is traditional and minimalist. The resulting wines are rich in traditional varietal flavors and aromas - Viogniers full of tropical fruit and spring flowers, dark, spicy Syrahs and intense, blackcurranty Cabernet Sauvignons.

In Spring 2000, our winery's new tasting room and gift shop opened in Heather Cottage, a landmark along "Tasting Room Row" in Los Olivos California. Built in 1904, Heather Cottage features a true gift shop with French Country and English cottage-themed items for the home. You will also find numerous wine-related gifts in the tasting room alongside the latest releases.

Originally built as a doctor's office and later a residence through much of the 1900's, for the last decade, Heather Cottage has made a name for itself as a gift boutique. Now, in addition to the many unique and wonderful gift items, the Heather Cottage is home to Daniel Gehrs Wines.

Founded in 1972 by father and son, Leonard and Brooks Firestone, Firestone Vineyard has enjoyed 35 years of family stewardship. Recently, so that they might concentrate on their burgeoning beer business and smaller Curtis Winery, the Firestone family decided to sell their iconic winery. In doing so, they turned to fellow Santa Barbara vintner Bill Foley (Foley Estates Vineyard and Winery, Lincourt Vineyards) as the logical next shepherd for the famous property.

Foley Estates Vineyard & Winery at Rancho Santa Rosa is the realization of vintner Bill Foley's dream to produce world class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Santa Barbara County. A historic parcel located in the Sta. (Santa) Rita Hills region of the Santa Ynez Valley, Rancho Santa Rosa was formerly a thoroughbred horse ranch. In 1998, the 460-acre property was purchased and planted to 230 acres of vineyard.

Devoted to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah, the vineyard has been subdivided into 59 micro-blocks with each being farmed, harvested and vinified separately.

Since the beginning, it has always been the land and its potential that has guided the family. In 1962, Dan C. and his son Dan J. Gainey purchased an 1800 acre ranch on the eastern end of the Santa Ynez Valley. With over 1000 acres of rangeland devoted to cattle, 600 acres of farmland, 100 acres of Arabian horses facilities and 100 acres of vineyards, the Gainey Ranch was and still is the largest diversified farming operation in the valley.

They planted 50 acres in 1983 and opened their Spanish style winery in 1984. The winery quickly became one of the most popular wineries to visit in the area and was named as “one of the best wineries to visit on California’s Central Coast” by Wine Spectator magazine.

Named in honor of Bill and Carol’s two daughters, Lindsay and Courtney, the Lincourt winery is located in the heart of Santa Barbara wine country, on Alamo Pintado Road in the Santa Ynez Valley.

Originally a dairy farm, the 30 acre property retains the rural charm and simplicity of an earlier era. The quaint tasting room is located in the former farmhouse, a 1926 Sears Craftsman kit home. The barns have been converted to a winery and barrel room, and equipped to allow for handcrafted, premium winemaking.

Located in northern Santa Barbara County on the Sisquoc River 14 miles east of Santa Maria, California, Rancho Sisquoc is part of an 1852 Spanish land grant. The Chumash Indians called this area "Sisquoc", which meant "gathering place". Today Rancho Sisquoc is again a gathering place, this time for wine lovers.

Today, as you drive the road that snakes along the edge of the valley floor to the ranch headquarters and tasting room, you leave the rush of the present day behind. The farmhouse and barn date from the early 1900s, and artifacts of an earlier age give the ranch the feeling of a time when the pace was slower and unrushed.

Roblar Winery is one of the newest wineries in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley. The rustic tasting room and winery are set on a beautiful 38 acre vineyard. The winery was designed to produce and showcase Roblar’s super premium wines.

When the owners conceived of Roblar, they wanted it to be more than just another winery. They envisioned a place that would showcase their passion for authenticity and sustainable agricultural practices.They also wanted Roblar to showcase the delicious foods raised in Santa Barbara County.

SAARLOOS & Sons wines were never meant to be available to the public. We started with a small 17-acre farm in hills of Los Olivos, on the only south facing hill, let alone terraced, on Ballard Canyon.

Our family believes that the crops grow best in the farmers shadow, thus we farm our vineyards ourselves. This is a bit of a lost passion in the wine community these days. These wines are not crafted as a mass produced commodity that you find commonplace on a store shelf. These wines are representations of what we do 365 days a year.

A new very polished tasting room in Los Olivos offer a chance to experience and the the wonderful "story" behind each Saarloos wine.

Sunstone Winery is located just 30 minutes north of Santa Barbara and is one of the most beautiful wineries and tasting rooms in the Santa Ynez Valley. Sunstone's tasting room is reminiscent of some of the small wineries in the Provencal French countryside, featuring a kitchen complete with a wood-burning oven and two stone barrel-aging caves built into the hillside. The Rice Family farms their 77-acre vineyards in an organic, bio-sustainable manner, meeting all California Certified Organic Farmer standards.

The goal of Sunstone Winery is to produce exceptionally high quality, estate produced wines by utilizing organic farming methods, using extensive canopy and crop management techniques, and handcrafting wines in small lots.

Tensley Wines is a family owned and operated winery focusing on vineyard designated Syrah within Santa Barbara County.

Established in 1998, the first release of Tensley totaled just 100 cases. In 2006, our production reached 3,300 cases and included seven single-vineyard Syrahs, the most in Santa Barbara County.

Though we've grown in size, our philosophy has never changed - source the best fruit possible and let the vineyard speak for itself.

My first adventures in winemaking began in 2001,when a family friend and backyard grape grower offered to give me Syrah fruit from his third-leaf vines (the equivalent of your first-born child). Since the venture would cost me nothing but time, I accepted his offer. This same year I took both viticulture and enology classes at a local college, and worked more closely with my father, winemaker Daniel Gehrs, in the cellar during harvest. I only intended for this to be an experiment, or a hobby at best. I was encouraged by the success of my first vintage and by my family and friends to continue.

As I enter my 10th harvest in 2010, I feel as if this is where I belong.
