The scene:: Vineyards, ancient oaks and the aroma of lavender greet visitors upon arrival. When you stroll through our vegetable garden, you will catch the scent of lemon balm and sage amidst staples such as sweet peas, arugula, and aubergines. Walk down to our idyllic pond, nestled under redwoods beneath the horse's paddock, sit by our waterfall, and you will truly feel you are in the Garden of Eden.

The Santa Ynez Ranch is a 105 acre organic vineyard and farm, tucked into the rolling hills of the central California coast, 35 minutes from Santa Barbara. Formerly the Bridlewood Estate and Winery, the SYR family is proud to be part of a new generation of holistic farming, and as such they came to this viticultural gem with a vision: to transform the conventionally-farmed land into a sustainable, bio-diverse regenerative farm.

Since changing ownership in 2020, the new team has dedicated itself to the practice of soil health. In addition to traditional composting, the Santa Ynez Ranch is home to a cutting-edge vermicomposting system, which is home to more than 70,000 earthworms. In its first year alone, to fulfill its commitment to biodiversity, the SYR family planted an acre of hops, an orchard of 550 apple trees, and is currently planning an agave field. The Santa Ynez Ranch is also home to a beloved family of animals including horses, cows, goats, sheep, bees, and chickens.
