Sunrise over our Los Olivos district Santa Ynez vineyard
In 2020, we purchased a 17 acre vineyard that sits on gentle slopes outside the town of Los Olivos, California. This yet-to-be-named site provides us with Grenache and Mourvèdre for our Red Blend, two grape varieties famous for their hallmark blends from France’s Rhône Valley. In some years we choose the Verdelho off the property for the White Wine blend. These grapes thrive in the red loamy soils with gravel and serpentine cobblestones in the shadow of the Santa Ynez Mountains in California’s Central Coast. The coastal fog has a cooling-effect on morning temperatures, allowing for a longer ripening period, lifting mid-day, imbuing these varieties with more depth of flavor without increasing sugars rapidly. The vines drink from an abundant natural clean water supply below ground. Since our purchase of the property, we have implemented sustainable practices, and the vines flourish.

For people who want to experience a working vineyard, there is a 4 bedroom guest house on the property complete with a shuffleboard table and a grand dining room that looks out on the vineyard for all those wine dinners. Following the guidelines of the CCOF certification, we never use synthetic pesticides or herbicides and there is clean and abundant water the roots find down below ground.
