Historic Rancho

Bill Wathen and Dick Doré (the Foxen Boys) have been making wine together since 1985. They founded Foxen Vineyard & Winery at the historic Rancho Tinaquaic in Northern Santa Barbara County. Their dedication has remained the same: the creation of small production, sustainably-farmed, vineyard-focused wines using a straightforward and minimalist approach to winemaking.

Named in memory of William Benjamin Foxen, English sea captain and Dick’s great-great grandfather. Benjamin Foxen came to Santa Barbara in the early 1800’s. He purchased the historic Rancho Tinaquaic in 1837 with a Mexican Land Grant that totaled nearly 9000 acres, which comprised most of what is now known as Foxen Canyon. Captain Foxen adopted the distinctive anchor as his ranch cattle brand, which became the trademark of the Foxen Winery. We are proud that we have made our home on the now 2000-acre Rancho Tinaquaic, which remains in family hands.

In addition to its renowned wines, Foxen Vineyard & Winery invites guests to experience its charming tasting room, where they can indulge in guided tastings led by knowledgeable staff.
