 Santa Barbara Winery was started in 1962 by Pierre Lafond. It was the first winery in Santa Barbara County since the end of Prohibition in the early 1930s.

Located on Anacapa Street, in downtown Santa Barbara just two blocks from the Pacific Ocean, Santa Barbara Winery has become an extremely visible and successful wine concern, winning many medals for an array of wines.

Santa Barbara Winery has achieved a prominent position in the area it so greatly assisted in creating, and that position is certain to grow. Come and taste these award winning wines.

It’s here!

Santa Barbara Winery and Lafond Wine Club Members are invited to join us for one of our favorite and heavily attended events of the year on Saturday August 7 from 1-4pm. Our Annual Wine Club BBQ will be held at Lafond Vineyard, and we will enjoy fabulous food from Pierre Lafond Bistro and wine (including barrel samples and new releases from Lafond Vineyard). Winemaker Bruce McGuire will be there to answer questions about the wines and this year’s harvest (Pinot Noir clusters are looking good!). It’s a great opportunity to enjoy the vineyard, the summer sunshine, and meet fellow club members and winery staff.
