Farm

After 40 years in the hospitality business, we understand the value of building relationships, sharing a table for special moments over food and wine, and experiencing the beauty and bounty of Santa Barbara Wine Country.

With a concentration on our estate vineyard, we have sought to produce wines that are “a window to a place.” Each one of our wines is different in expression, with its own subtle, yet distinctive character and voice. Each year renews in us an intense drive to understand, react to, and work with the vineyard to allow it to reach its full potential. This process, led by our winemaker, Steve Clifton, is crucial for the execution of successful wines.

Santa Ynez Valley Star

Over the years, we have loved Solvang, Santa Ynez, and Los Olivos, learning more about the history and people.

When we were introduced to former publisher Raiza Giorgi, we knew right away that the Santa Ynez Valley Star would be a great fit.

We have kept the great team that has served the community for many years: Copy Editor Mike Chaldu, Advertising Director Amberly Lahr, and Reporter Pamela Dozois.

We continue to evaluate systems and processes to bring you the best local newspaper with breaking news and up-to-date articles both in print and online.

The Central Coast of California — including its inland neighbors from Paso Robles to Santa Ynez and Solvang — is a special place.

Dovecote Ranch and Estate Winery

Dovecote Ranch and Estate Winery is dedicated to growing and crafting wines that allow the beauty and character of our land to speak through them. Our 30-year old own-rooted vines and sandy-limestone soils produce small quantities of intensely concentrated cool-climate Rhône fruit. Local daily marine influence slows and extends ripening for uncommon complexity and grace.

Dovecote Wines

Dovecote Wines are completely farmed and made by hand with a deep respect and love for their origin. They are meant as an ode to our family’s gratitude in calling this special place home. In their creation, it is our hope that our lives contribute to their meaning, and their meaning contribute to the lives of those we share them with.

Please join us and we’d be honored to share our wines with you.

Sta. Rita Hills

Winegrowers Alliance

The Sta. Rita Hills Winegrowers Alliance was formed in 1997 to unify growers and winemakers in the Western Santa Ynez Valley for the purpose of developing their own American Viticulture Area and to promote this unique wine growing region.

Sta. Rita Hills American Viticulture Appellation (AMA)

The Sta. Rita Hills American Viticulture Appellation is located on California’s Central Coast in Santa Barbara County. The Pacific Ocean’s marine layer and afternoon ocean breezes traverse the coastal valley corridors between the Purisima Hills and the Santa Rosa Hills, creating the perfect environment for growing Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and other cool climate wine grape varieties.

Alliance Mission

The Sta. Rita Hills AVA status was granted in 2001 by the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Regulation Division. The mission of the Alliance is to support the viticulture and enological business interests of its 47 Members, as they relate to grapes and wine from our AVA.

Demetria Estate

Established in 2005, Demetria Estate is a family owned winery. Our goal is to produce wines of distinction and character rivaling those of the world’s greatest estates. Our wines are artfully crafted to showcase the unique growing conditions of the Santa Ynez Valley and Sta. Rita Hills. We believe that low yields, sustainable and biodynamic farming practices, and gentle winemaking produce wines of exceptional quality.

Greek heritage

Demetria Estate grew out of the desire of owners John and Sandra Zahoudanis to continue a family legacy connecting his Greek heritage with their family’s future. John grew up on a modest family farm at the base of Mount Olympus in Greece. The unparalleled beauty and Mediterranean feel of the Demetria Estate reminded John of his homeland and became the perfect location to carry on the family tradition of farming and careful stewardship of the land.

Fess Parker Vineyard

A Premier Viticultural Region

The Fess Parker Winery & Vineyard grew out of Fess’ vision for the promise of Santa Barbara County as a premier viticultural region.

Established in 1989, the family immediately began planting some of the county’s most renowned vineyards. Outstanding fruit sources coupled with skilled winemaking – in the past decade both Eli Parker and later Blair Fox, were named Winemaker of the Year by the San Francisco International Wine Competition – are at the core of delivering wines of the highest quality to our consumer.

Winery

Fess Parker WineryThe winery is located on the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail. It is surrounded by pastureland and vineyard. The views from the tasting room that take in the majestic San Rafael mountain range. The vibe in the tasting room is casual and friendly and the grounds are a wonderful place to relax and enjoy our world class wines in one of the prettiest spots in Santa Barbara wine country.

Our Story

Making friends is our business, and we are honored to share our wines with our friends. Inspired by my father, August A. Busch, Jr., who opened Grant’s Farm to the public in 1954, we continue his legacy of hospitality. Kim and I fell in love with Santa Barbara in 1998 and decided to raise our children amidst the beauty of the California coast and the joys of ranch life. Folded Hills became our haven, and we invite you to experience our wine, food, and way of life.

Our Beliefs at Folded Hills Winery

Legacy: We honor our heritage with wines named after family members, like the award-winning Lilly Rosé, August White, and Red blends.
Hands-On Approach: From tending animals to growing organic vegetables, our family is deeply involved in the ranch’s daily life. Meet our “farmily” of animals, including sheep, donkeys, mini horses, and even a camel and zebra!
Family: Our wines celebrate family, past and present, enriching and preserving our property for future generations.
Quality: We farm organically and craft our wines with minimal intervention, ensuring the highest quality. Our small-batch artisanal wines reflect the unique terroir of our old-world sustainable farm and working ranch.

We proudly welcome you to Folded Hills, where each bottle tells a story of history, legacy, and family. Come taste the sun, fog, and ocean breezes in every sip.

Los Olivos Winery

Epiphany Wines

Epiphany wines – Los Olivos Winery, finds its identity and passion in the production of esoteric Rhone-based varietals and blends from some of the finest vineyards in California.

Founded by Eli Parker, Epiphany wines was at first intended as a creative outlet for the then adventurous winemaking son of Fess Parker.

Transformed into a leading, contemporary producer of Rhone-based and esoteric varietal wines from Santa Barbara County, Epiphany is a meaningful representation of the second generation of the Parker family name. Epiphany continues their dedication to ultra-premium wine production on the Central Coast.

Taste Rhône Varietals in the Heart of Los Olivos

Discover Epiphany, one of Santa Barbara County’s premier producers of Rhône varietal wines. Located in the heart of Los Olivos, our tasting room features an expansive garden area perfect for a seated wine tasting experience.

Epiphany Wines – The Experience

At Epiphany, wine tasting is led by our knowledgeable and friendly wine educators. Choose between a 90-minute Classic ($22) or Discovery ($28) flight, or enjoy wine by the glass or bottle. While we accommodate walk-ins whenever possible, reservations are highly recommended.

Established in 2000, Epiphany is renowned for its boutique Rhône varietal wines. We celebrate the thrill of discovery, highlighting favorites like Grenache and Syrah alongside lesser-known gems like Counoise, Marsanne, Roussanne, and more.

Our sparkling wine program, Fesstivity, launched in 2015, showcases the handcrafted quality of méthode champenoise winemaking. We source all fruit for this project from the Sta. Rita Hills.
