Peake Ranch Winery
Located on the eastern end of the Sta. Rita Hills AVA on Santa Rosa Road, Peake Ranch is a 105-acre parcel with 50 acres of vines. The plantings include seven different clones of Pinot Noir, three clones of Chardonnay and two each of Syrah and Grenache. The plantings are all along a hill that covers most of the ranch, exposing the vines to the cool air that comes off the Pacific and into the Santa Ynez Valley. The combination of North, South, East and West facing slopes coupled with the exposure to varying degrees of the cool wind give the vineyard a diversity of fruit flavor profiles that is unique for a ranch of our size.

Historical Tour & Tastings
Enjoy all that the private winery tour and tasting has to offer with the added bonus of a special visit to the old rough-hewn building, with a corrugated tin roof, that once was the tasting room of pioneering winemaker Richard Sanford, the first to plant pinot noir in Santa Barbara County. In the 2004 film “Sideways,” it was visited by Miles and Jack during their rollicking wine country misadventures. The site later became the interim home of Sanford’s Alma Rosa Winery, which he wound up selling to Robert Zorich and staying on to oversee viticulture and winemaking.
