Happy Canyon Vineyard is nestled into the undulating hills of the beautiful Piocho Ranch. The Barracks have taken great pride over the years in being stewards of the land and along with their wine maker Doug Margerum, have created something that is unique to the beauty and richness of the place. Piocho, is a Chumash Indian word meaning “where the two rivers meet and go to heaven”. The ranch is also home to the “Piocho” polo team.

There are the top wines called Barrack Brand, Barrack Blanc and Barrack Ten–Goal and two companion wines; PIOCHO is the champion wine made mostly from Cabernet Franc. There is also a nouveau styled Bordeaux blend released each Easter (perfect with Spring Lamb) called CHUKKER.

Our wines are available on our website and in our new tasting room, located in Santa Barbara at 30 El Paseo, open 12pm – 6pm daily. For a truly special experience, we offer private, by appointment tastings at our ranch and vineyard.

CrossHatch Winery

All of the wines produced by CrossHatch Winery are co-fermented blends sourced from Santa Barbara County vineyards. The idea of co-fermented wine is nothing new. Some of the best and oldest wines in the world are made this way, but with the micro-climates of Santa Barbara it really adds another layer to the process. Co-fermentation brings out and creates flavors in the wine that would not have existed otherwise. This makes the CrossHatch wine truly one of a kind.

California wine country

Enjoy a glass of wine or wine tasting in the heart of California wine country.  We invite you to stop by our tasting room in the historic and quaint town of Santa Ynez to soak in the majestic views from the patio. We look forward to sharing our wines with you.

Martellotto Wine Productions

The story of Martellotto (which means big hammer in Italian) begins in Alberobello in Puglia, Italy. My grandfather left the old country in 1918 to find a new, better life for himself and us. Given that my nonno produced wine in his basement for the local Italian community in the Bronx during Prohibition, it’s possible that my destiny in wine is genetically encoded.

This wasn’t my initial career trajectory; I intended to become a doctor. However, the allure and enticements of the vine were too strong to resist.

Balanced alcohol, oak tannins, and zippy acidity that make my lips smack are qualities of wines I find appealing. I believe great wine complements life. Wine is shared at peak moments and becomes a tool to make memories and experiences more vibrant. Wine is art and science, romantic and intimate, and it’s also fermented grapes.

Alla Salute!

Creating World Peace One Bottle at a Time

Clementine Carter formerly Casa Dumetz Wines 

– Our three labels include: Casa Dumetz, Clementine Carter and The Feminist Party now Clementine Carter formerly Casa Dumetz Wines.

Clementine Carter formerly Casa Dumetz

The winery started in 2004 with a patch of raw earth, a bucket of grapevines and plenty of sweat from family and friends who joined to embark on the extraordinary. From this work emerged a commitment to produce authentic, handcrafted wines emblematic of the vintage, earth and effort.

Rhone Varietals

We focus on crafting elegant, alluring Rhone varietals with grapes sourced from extraordinary vineyards in the Santa Ynez Valley. We are the boutique in boutique, creating only 1,000 cases each vintage.

While we began making wine in the garage, we now offer barrel-tasting sessions at the winery along with vineyard tours and Grenache Roadshows for wine club members. The majority of our production is sold through our tasting room in historic, eclectic Los Alamos, California.

Our Focus

Clementine Carter elevates cool climate Rhône varieties grown in Santa Barbara Wine Country. We love all our varietals, especially Grenache and Mourvèdre. Grenache is challenging to farm with big clusters, big berries, and thick skins. Here, farming Grenache is about nuance. It’s about finding the right balance to bring out the elegant, finessed flavors of the wine.

Our Journey

I’ve worked with almost every Grenache vineyard in Santa Barbara County. I search for those that resonate with me and my goals. My aim is to deliver a pure wine experience with pure intention. After 20 years of making wine, I joke that I don’t really know what Grenache tastes like. Each wine should taste like its home.

“The site, the farming team, the camaraderie, and mutual respect are what make wines delicious.”

Clementine Carter has been a joy to explore. We’ve found amazing partners. Rachel Taylor drew the sketches on our labels. Alexandra Gibbs took all the photos for Clementine Carter. Andrew Harner designed our labels.

Sonja Magdevski – proprietor, winemaker, and writer – produced all the goods in the bottles. Enjoy.

Carr Vineyards and Winery

Ryan Carr, the owner, winemaker, and grower for Carr Vineyards & Winery, discovered his passion for viticulture after moving to Santa Ynez Valley, California. Originally from Southern California, Ryan had an interest in farming but pursued an Art degree from the University of Arizona. After tasting local wines in Santa Ynez, he decided to delve into viticulture. He started with vineyard management and later working at Central Coast Wine Services in 1998.

In 1999, Ryan produced his first vintage, a Cabernet Sauvignon, in his garage from grapes he helped grow, yielding just 10 cases. Encouraged by the positive feedback, he partnered with Andy Kahn to start a vineyard development company and became the assistant winemaker for Kahn Winery. This collaboration allowed Ryan to create his first commercial vintage.

Santa Barbara County

By 2004, Carr Winery was producing over 1,000 cases and gaining national recognition. By 2006, Ryan had built three wineries and planted over 200 acres of grapes in Santa Barbara County. In 2007, he opened Carr Winery in downtown Santa Barbara, one of only four full production wineries and tasting rooms in the area. Since then, Carr Winery has received numerous accolades and awards, cementing its reputation for producing some of Santa Barbara County’s finest wines.

Limited Production Wines

Carr Vineyards and Winery specializes in ultra-premium, limited production wines from Santa Barbara County. Varietals include Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Grenache, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc. We are open for wine tasting, wines by the glass, and bottles to go.

Brave & Maiden

Estate Winery

Brave & Maiden Estate, we take our name from the “Legend of Nojoqui” (pronounced Naw-ho-wee), an indigenous incarnation of Romeo & Juliet. Set at the nearby Nojoqui Falls, the legend recounts the story of star-crossed lovers who choose sacrifice over separation. Inspired by such profound commitment, we’ve created a twofold and ambitious commitment of our own: to craft extraordinary wines and to share them with unforgettable hospitality.

Our wines are grown and produced under the direction of Consulting Winemaker Paul Hobbs and with the mastery of Winemaker Josh Klapper in the cellar. In our portfolio of wines, you’ll find exquisite Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Merlot, and Sauvigon Blanc. We have also taken on a particular goal of producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon from Santa Ynez. Our critically acclaimed Limited Cabernet Sauvignon—and our other small lot, black label wines—are available exclusively at our estate to Members and visiting guests.

Brave & Maiden Estate is located in Satna Barbara Wine Country, just off Highway 246 between Santa Ynez and Solvang, just a few minutes south of Los Olivos.

Beckmen Vineyards

Beckmen Vineyards is known as one of North America’s premier producers of Rhône varietal wines since our establishment in 1994.

A family owned and operated vineyard and winery, we use estate grown fruit from our certified biodynamic Purisima Mountain Vineyard, located in the limestone laden hills of the Ballard Canyon AVA.

Wine Tasting

Over 20 years ago, our Founding Partner, Thomas Stolpman, discovered what we believe to be one of the greatest viticulture sites on earth. Hidden in the hills of California’s Central Coast, on a rare Limestone outcropping and unobstructed from the Pacific Ocean wind, this unique land is ideally suited to grow Syrah and Roussanne grapes. We are committed to preserving this natural environment for our vines through natural farming, dry farming, and sustainable employment. In the winery, we prefer native fermentation and minimal manipulation.
Dedicated to sensible farming and wine making, we believe that we can create natural, vibrant, site-specific wines, with a focus unique to Ballard Canyon AVA, California.

To taste wines from our estate vineyard, visit our tasting room in downtown Los Olivos.

Anna and David deLaski started Solminer to fulfill a dream – to create sincere and well-balanced wines showcasing grapes from their 5-acre organic vineyard in Los Olivos, CA. The couple share a passion for elegant, food-friendly wines utilizing small lots of interesting varietals including Grüner Veltliner, Blaufränkisch and Syrah. They take great care in considering what goes (and doesn’t go) into the soils, barrels and bottles. The wines are simply made using classic winemaking practices resulting in minimal intervention and maximum flavors of terroir!

Master Sommelier Paolo Barbieri

(BWC) Barbieri Wine Company was founded in 2005 by Master Sommelier Paolo Barbieri. Prior to 2005, Paolo started making very small lots in his garage in Las Vegas. This eventually evolved into forming Barbieri Wine Company to set out to produce his own wine.

Wine Company Rhone Varietals

Barbieri-Wine-CompanyThe objective was to produce Rhone Varietals from top vineyards located in Santa Barbara County. The approach was simple: work with great growers and use minimalistic wine making techniques without heavy oak influence.

Before and during the development of his wine company, Paolo worked in the restaurant business for over 30 years managing numerous world class wine lists from Europe and later in the United States exposing him to the best wines in the world, which ultimately shaped his approach for his own wines. During this time, Erin Kempe joined Paolo, and together they continued to fulfill their passion for wine making and developing hand-crafted boutique wines in Los Olivos, Santa Barbara county wine country.

Section Wines

Section Wines was established in 2014. Specializing in Italian, Bordeaux, and Rhône varietals grown in Santa Barbara County and surrounding AVAs. Marco’s winemaking was founded in the style of the old world. His approach to branding is quite modern. Here intertwining his love for music and art with the beautiful flavors of his handcrafted wines.

section-winesGuests enjoy “A seat at the winemaker’s table” – a pairing of Section Wines’ latest releases with cheese, bread and olive oil.

Meet the winemaker and founder Marco Lucchesi.

Marco Lucchesi, hailing from Pisa, Tuscany. He grew up amidst the rich cultural tapestry of Italian life, notably steeped in the culinary arts and oenology. His parents’ ownership of a restaurant in Pisa provided the backdrop for Marco’s early immersion in the world of fine dining and wines. With a father who was a sommelier, Marco’s upbringing included hands-on experience during harvest seasons, beginning at the tender age of 13.

While his roots lie deeply entrenched in Italian tradition, Marco’s journey led him to the Napa Valley, where he honed his skills at esteemed establishments like Trefethen Winery and Vineyards, Laird Family Estate, and Judd Hill. This diverse experience culminated in the launch of Section Wines, a testament to his passion for winemaking and viticulture. Despite his international education and professional pursuits. Marco’s approach remains rooted in the timeless practices and values instilled in him during his formative years in Italy.
