Our Vineyards

Pacific Ridge Vineyards is a boutique California winery, producing around 1500 cases each year of mainly Santa Barbara County appellation wines. We produce many of our wines from fruit grown just north of Santa Barbara, including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah.  Pacific Ridge Vineyard, on our family estate, consists of 4 acres of Syrah. All wines are aged in 100% French oak barrels, from various coopers, forests, with varying toasting levels. The Pacific Ridge winemaking operation has been based in Santa Barbara County since 1995, and the wines are available at our shared tasting room, Avant, above the winery in Buellton, CA.

The estate vineyard pictured on the right has been in the family for over 20 years, and is located at 980 feet above sea level on Pacific Ridge in Ventura County, California. Its sweeping views overlook the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands National Park, as well as most of the county. The steep hillside is a sandy loam soil, planted mostly with Syrah Clone 7 and in a generally 6' x 6' spacing. Hand tending and triage (sorting and washing) tables on site during harvest have made a huge improvement in quality. Of course, family and friends handling the grapes with care make all the difference. This is one of our several sources of Syrah.

Some of the most well known vineyards in Santa Barbara County are a source of our award-winning Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.  The terroir is perfect for producing the classic Santa Barbara Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir, which is very different than that produced in warmer areas.
