The Sta. Rita Hills viticultural appellation is uniquely situated to receive the maritime influences that create the ideal climate for the growing of exceptional winegrapes. Inspired by the incredible potential offered within this wine region, a diverse group of talented growers and winemakers are producing some of California's most exciting Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays and other varietals. As with any new region, the winegrowers and winemakers have developed a camaraderie stemming from their love of this region and the excitement of the achievements made thus far. We hope through this website we can offer the interested wine lover a glimpse into our small but exceptional corner of the wine world.
Sta. Rita Hills is a relatively small appellation of approximately 100 square miles. Intersected by the Santa Ynez River, the cool climate appellation is located between the towns of Buellton and Lompoc in Santa Barbara County, California. The Sta. Rita Hills Winegrowers Alliance includes both vineyards located within the geographical boundaries of the appellation, and those who craft wines from grapes grown here.
The cool maritime influence gives the Sta. Rita Station AVA the perfect climate for Burgundian Varietals and like other Santa Barbara County wineries, most specialize in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The area jumped into the public consciousness courtesy of the movie 'Sideways'. The Hitching Post Restaurant that featured in the movie is on the borders of the AVA. Come taste these regional Santa Barbara wines and experience their sophistication.
