Sta. Rita Hills AVA

Santa Rita Hills Vintners' Association


Sta. Rita Hills VineyardSanta Rita Hills is the newest AVA within the Santa Ynez Valley appellation.

Located on the far western end of the long corridor, the marine influence is directly off the ocean providing an extremely cool climate.

The home and inspiration of “Sideways” the Santa Rita Hills appellation has recently achieved national acclaim for its outstanding Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and my personal favorite, cool climate Syrah.

The wines emerging from this area are highly stylized and structured. Some of Santa Barbara County's youngest winemakers, as well as several of the area's wine making pioneers, grow and produce wine just miles from one another, making for wines of great daring and elegance. Santa Rita Hills Wine Region, Santa Barbara County

On behalf of our entire crazy group of wine goers, we want to thank you for a great wine tasting experience this past Sunday. The van worked out perfectly and every one of the wineries had it own uniqueness and special qualities. Fred was a perfect addition to our group and for the most part, we felt that he was just like one of us. He kept us on time, sang along with our songs in the van, and was a true professional with his knowledge of the area and the wine industry. Please pass on our thanks and appreciation to Fred. Keep up the good work…..it was a pleasure to join up with Breakaway Tours and look to hooking up with you next year! Happy Wine Travels!!
