WELCOME!
THIs is
wine country
at its best
Breathtaking vistas overlook valleys and mountains studded with
ancient oaks, brilliant wild flowers and magnificent vineyards.
A leisurely country drive allows one to fully appreciate the
winemaking experience while viewing the ever changing
seasons. Pruning in the winter, bud break in spring, and canopy
management all summer, culminates with the fall harvest.
It is a wonderful discovery for any traveler! Pull up to one of
several towns and find great restaurants, galleries, country inns
and exceptional tasting rooms. Friendly and knowledgeable
people are waiting to welcome, serve and delight you.
To further enhance your visit, wine events are scheduled year
round, from festivals and winemaker’s dinners, to concerts, dramatic
readings and art shows, all of which are open to the public.

Discover
FIVE unique
winegrowing
areas
Though known as a scenic beachside resort, Santa Barbara
County also encompasses one of the top wine regions in the
world. The beaches are backed by an unusual mountain
configuration with an east-west orientation forming valleys that open
directly to the Pacific Ocean. It is the longest east-west traverse from
the Aleutian Islands to Tierra Del Fuego.
This unique topography allows the inland flow of fog and ocean
breezes to shape one of the coolest winegrowing regions in
California and create an ideal environment for the cultivation of
classic grape varietals. The growing season here is considerably
longer than other wine producing areas, meaning the fruit has an
unusually long “hang time” on the vine. This makes for world class
wines of distinctive character.
Within Santa Barbara County there are five federally
recognized American Viticultural Areas (AVA): Santa Maria
Valley, Santa Ynez Valley, Sta. Rita Hills, Happy Canyon of
Santa Barbara, and Ballard Canyon.
Santa Maria Valley
The often foggy and windswept Santa Maria Valley is the northern most
appellation in Santa Barbara County. The region’s first officially approved
American Viticultural Area (AVA) enjoys extremely complex soil conditions
and diverse microclimates. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are two varietals
which especially benefit from the ocean’s influence, and are the flagship
wines of this appellation.
Santa Ynez Valley
Santa Ynez Valley is a long, east-west corridor with very cool temperatures on the coast that become progressively warmer inland. Consequently,
several varietals do well from Pinot Noir in the west to Cabernet Sauvignon
and Merlot in the east. Several Rhône and Italian grape varietals have also
gained acclaim in this versatile Santa Barbara County AVA. The largest
concentration of wineries is in the Santa Ynez Valley appellation. From
one-person labors of love to multi-thousand case operations, each has a
dedication to producing wine that truly reflects the high quality and broad
diversity of local grapes.
Sta. Rita Hills
Sta. Rita Hills is an AVA within the Santa Ynez Valley AVA. Located on the
far western end of the long corridor, the marine influence is directly off the
ocean providing an extremely cool climate. It is an optimal place to grow its
hallmark Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
HAPPY CANYON OF SANTA BARBARA
Happy Canyon is a relatively new winegrowing region recently granted its
own AVA. Located in the far eastern edge of the Santa Ynez Valley AVA,
it delves into the San Rafael Mountains just northwest of Lake Cachuma.
Its inland position means a significantly warmer climate. This region is best
suited for growing Bordeaux varieties Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon,
Merlot, Petit Verdot and Sauvignon Blanc.
BALLARD CANYON
Ballard Canyon became the fifth official AVA of Santa Barbara County
on October 30th 2013. The 7,800 acre viticultural area’s soils and climate
is known for producing distinctive and unique wines, a preponderance of
which are Rhône varietals.

Take it
EASY
( 1 ) Plan ahead. Map out a route, checking tasting room hours.
The two wineries you’d most like to visit may be 50 miles apart.
You’ll also notice that some wineries house their tasting rooms in our
small towns while others have chosen retail wine bars and shops to
be their official tasting rooms, so your favorites may be right next
door to each other. Whether its 50 miles or 50 feet, remember:
four or five wineries is still a full day. Most tasting rooms charge
for sampling wines.
( 2 ) There is usually something special happening in wine country
year round.
Check the Association web site for a listing of events at
sbcountywines.com.
( 3 ) Please drive carefully and courteously.
The pace here is a little slower, so relax and enjoy the drive. It’s
part of the experience. There’s no telling when a covey of quail
will dart across the road.
( 4 ) A designated driver is encouraged to ensure safety on the
road. Over-imbibers will not be served, even if you’re not driving.
It’s the law.
There are many transportation companies throughout Santa
Barbara Wine Country if you prefer to leave the driving to
someone else.
( 5 ) Gas up before you head out to the country.
It may be a long distance between service stations. With
that in mind, you may want to bring a picnic lunch. Most wineries
do not serve food, but many have beautiful picnic areas. There
are also wonderful places to dine in town,
some with outdoor seating.
( 6 ) An overnight stay is always recommended. There are a lot of
places to stay when you visit Santa Barbara County – from hotels
on the beach, to spa resorts in the countryside to places in town.
VINEYARDS
Great wine starts in the vineyard with great grapes. Blessed with

bring modern growing methods to the age-old art of viticulture,
