Winterlight Dinner Series at Alisal Ranch returns to Alisal Ranch with an immersive candlelit dining experience unlike anything else in the Santa Ynez Valley. Hundreds of glowing candles fill the historic room, creating a warm and romantic setting for an unforgettable evening of food, wine, and live music.
Each Winterlight dinner features a five-course, seasonal menu crafted by the Executive Chef and paired with exceptional local wines or spirits. The series opens January 10 with Storm Wines, continues February 7 with Rod & Hammer SLO Stills, and concludes March 7 with Carhartt Family Wines.
This is the ranch’s only public dining event of the year. Tickets are $150 per person (pre-tax and service fee) and may be purchased through the Ranch Concierge. Guests can also book Winterlight weekend packages, which include dinner tickets and overnight accommodations.
Blending flickering candlelight with elevated California ranch cuisine, Winterlight showcases locally sourced ingredients, artisan beverage pairings, and live music that enriches the atmosphere. The result is a deeply intimate evening that captures the rustic elegance and timeless charm of Alisal Ranch.
