Sanford Winery is a pioneer in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA, having planted the first Pinot Noir vines in Santa Barbara County at the legendary Sanford & Benedict vineyard. Family-owned by the Terlato Family, they craft estate-grown Burgundy-style Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with minimal intervention under Winemaker Trey Fletcher. Visitors can tour the scenic estate and taste by appointment.
