A PORTAL TO PROVENCE
Deeply rooted in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley, Sunstone is a beautiful place to taste beautiful wines. Located just 35-minutes north of Santa Barbara, Sunstone seemingly transports visitors to the Provençal French countryside. Named after the vineyard estate’s exposed, sun-dappled shale and stones, Sunstone is a beautifully tranquil retreat where you can enjoy a glass of wine in our lavender and rosemary-filled courtyard, in our stone barrel-aging caves, or perhaps enjoy lunch at our picnic tables shaded by olive and oak trees.
WALK-IN TASTINGS: NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY
We are open to the public for wine tastings without an appointment from 11am to 5pm daily, with last tasting poured at 4:30. Whether you are new to wine or an aspiring sommelier, our wine specialists are happy to share our wines with you and answer questions. Enjoy Sunstone wines by the glass, or explore our best selections with our $20 Tasting flight.
ESTATE TOUR & TASTING
For a more in-depth, educational experience Sunstone offers an Estate Tour & Tasting, which takes place every Saturday from June through August at 11AM.
