Discover Buellton: Where Wine Country Meets Coastal Charm

Just a scenic drive north of Santa Barbara, tucked between the renowned Sta. Rita Hills AVA and the shimmering Pacific Ocean, lies Buellton—a welcoming gem in the heart of Santa Barbara Wine Country.

With over 300 days of sunshine and a unique climate of warm days and cool nights, Buellton is the perfect place to unwind, explore, and raise a glass. This ideal weather isn’t just a treat for visitors—it’s also what makes the area’s world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay so exceptional.
