Brick Barn Wine Estate
Brick Barn Wine Estate spans a 35-acre vineyard that uniquely bridges the warmer inland areas and the cooler Sta. Rita Hills AVA. This strategic location, just 10 miles from the Pacific Ocean, benefits from consistent marine influences, including morning fog and evening breezes, which, combined with ample afternoon sun, foster a slow and steady grape ripening process. This results in wines that beautifully balance natural acidity with rich, complex flavors. The estate's history dates back to the early 1970s when the property served as an Arabian horse farm, featuring a distinctive 36-stall brick barn crafted by an Italian stonemason. This architectural gem, characterized by its split-face brick and redwood beams, now houses the winery's tasting room and event spaces, seamlessly blending rustic charm with modern elegance. Brick Barn Wine Estate is dedicated to non-invasive farming practices, allowing the vineyard's unique terroir to shine through in each bottle. The diverse soil compositions across the estate support a variety of grape varietals, including Albariño, Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Chardonnay, Vermentino, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Grenache, and Cabernet Franc. Each varietal is cultivated with meticulous care, ensuring that the wines authentically express the character of their origin. Visitors to Brick Barn Wine Estate are invited to experience the harmonious blend of history, architecture, and viticulture. The tasting room offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, where guests can savor the estate's award-winning wines while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding vineyards. Regular events, including live music and gourmet food pairings, further enrich the visitor experience, making Brick Barn Wine Estate a must-visit destination in California's wine country.
