Vega Vineyard

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 Barbara Wine Country restaurants

Brothers Restaurant Santa Ynez

brothers-restaurant-at-the-red-barn

The 2013 opened their second Santa Barbara Wine Country restaurant, Brothers Restaurant at the Red Barn in Santa Ynez. This allows them to offer great food, wine and hospitality to visitors and locals alike. The brothers strive to have legendary service and innovative “made from scratch” cuisine. They provide a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere that causes you to return time and again.

In the summer of 1996, they opened the original Brothers Restaurant in Solvang, which they soon outgrew. In 2002, the brothers brought fine dining to Mattei’s Tavern. They took care of that venerable spot until they opened Sides Hardware & Shoes – in Los Olivos in 2012.

The Nichols Brothers

The Nichols brothers, Matt & Jeff, grew up in Ames, Iowa where their love of cooking, good food and a sense of family and community was nurtured.

Saddle up and mosey on over to our newly revamped hideaway! With a barn-red paint on the outside, you’ll find a warm and welcoming local tavern feel inside, boasting clean lines and a rustic charm. Our space is accented with rich oak, restored branded wood beams, a white-paneled ceiling, and wrought iron lighting. The L-shaped room now features higher ceilings and massive glass windows, creating an airy, open space.

The Red Barn Restaurant Chefs

Watch our talented chefs in action in the open display kitchen. We’ve added a glass-enclosed wine room right next to the dining area, and the original wood-burning fireplaces are still crackling away, with seasoned firewood provided by the trusty Agin Brothers who’ve been supplying the Nichols family for over a decade.

The room, beautifully illuminated by two wrought iron and rope chandeliers, handcrafted by local blacksmith Hans Duus, featuring vintage Edison-style bulbs. Historical photographs of Los Rancheros Visitadores, the legendary group of local horsemen and ranchers dating back to 1929, adorn the walls.

During construction, we discovered old wallpaper beneath layers of paint and paneling, illustrated with dancing girls, pistols, playing cards, and saloons. We’ve preserved and framed these treasures to grace our dining room walls. Don’t miss JC’s handsome bar, crafted by locals Scott and Chris Bruhn from a felled pine tree from Figueroa Mountain. Come on in and experience the perfect blend of history, charm, and western flair!

Clean Slate Wine Bar – Wine, Beer, and Food

Clean Slate Wine Bar features small production local wines as well as craft beers on tap. Wines and beers rotate quickly, and you never know what you’ll find. Bring your curiosity and come on in to sip something completely new.

Chef Melissa

Chef Melissa is from Louisiana, and her Cajun-accented cooking is so market-driven that the menu changes daily. She creates a collection of small plates and shareable dishes inspired by the freshest ingredients and whatever is currently in season. Come early, before it’s all gone, ‘cause we have been known to run out of food.

Clean the Slate

And when something runs out because the wine was limited production, the farmer sold out of produce, the beer was brewed in a small batch, or the local fisherman only caught so much, we “clean the slate” and start fresh. There’s always something new to try.

Since we opened, we’ve built a reputation as an inviting spot to experience the best of California Central Coast’s food and wine. Come and join us and hang out for a while.

No reservations necessary. We’re walk-in only. No time limit on tables, we want you to hang out and enjoy yourselves.

folded-hills-winery-buelltonNestled among organic vineyards and row crops, our estate Folded Hills Winery tasting room offers an enchanting wine experience just 40 minutes from Santa Barbara and right off the 101 freeway. As the closest vineyard to the ocean and the first stop on your way to wine country, it’s the perfect place to begin your adventure. Across the street, you’ll find Folded Hills Farmstead, where guests can pet and feed adorable baby farm animals. We also have a second tasting room in Montecito’s lower village, providing a taste of ranch life in an urban seaside setting.

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.

Elevate your wine experience with us today!

A BBQ Odyssey in the Santa Ynez Valley

Whiskey ‘N Rye

Embark on a culinary journey through the heart of America at Whiskey ‘N Rye. Our Solvang barbecue haven is a melting pot of regional flavors, where tradition meets innovation. We’ve meticulously curated a menu that pays homage to the diverse barbecue styles found across the nation, from the classic Texas brisket to the tangy Carolina pulled pork.

whiskey-n-rye-logo solvangAn American-style barbecue, in the Santa Ynez Valley of Santa Barbara County, boasting a broad menu of barbecue classics along with several traditional menu favorites with an interesting BBQ twist. Grilling and smoking are our primary cooking techniques for the majority of our signature dishes and sides.

American BBQ Restaurant

While American barbecue is highly regionalized with a variety of different styles found across the country (i.e., Texas, Memphis, the Carolinas, Kansas City, etc.), the Whiskey ‘N Rye concept is not focused on a single style of barbecue, but instead provides a menu including multiple styles of barbecue.

But we don’t simply replicate; we elevate. Our kitchen wizards have infused their creativity to birth original barbecue-inspired dishes that will tantalize your taste buds. Imagine succulent smoked meats paired with unexpected yet harmonious flavors.

Every dish at Whiskey ‘N Rye is a testament to our commitment to quality. We believe in the art of slow cooking, allowing the smoky goodness to permeate deep into each cut of meat. Our sides are crafted with equal care, offering the perfect complement to your barbecue feast.

Whether you’re a seasoned barbecue enthusiast or simply looking for a delicious meal, Whiskey ‘N Rye promises an unforgettable experience. Join us in celebrating the rich tapestry of American barbecue.
