Santa Barbara Winery holds the distinction of being Santa Barbara County's oldest commercial winery, founded in 1962 by Pierre Lafond. Located in the vibrant Funk Zone near the waterfront, this pioneering operation crafts Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and an impressive roster of other varietals including Petit Verdot, Syrah, Primitivo, and Lagrein, drawing fruit from distinguished vineyards like Curtis and Joughin.
Santa Barbara County's pioneering winery (est. 1962) with a notably adventurous varietal portfolio that goes well beyond the region's typical Chardonnay and Pinot Noir focus to include Italian and Rhône varieties like Primitivo, Lagrein, and Syrah. Accessible premium pricing with waterfront Funk Zone location suggests approachable yet quality-focused positioning.
