Rancho Sisquoc is the oldest cattle ranch winery in Santa Barbara County, operating as a working cattle ranch, grape grower, and winery since vineyards were planted in 1968 on the historic Rancho Sisquoc land grant from 1845. It is the only remaining intact land grant from that era, protected under the Treaty of Guadalupe. The winery offers red and white wines, olive oil, and merchandise.
