Margerum Wine Company – Passion in Every Pour
At Margerum Wine Company, we believe great wine starts with a deep connection to the land. Founded by Doug Margerum, a Santa Barbara wine pioneer with over 35 years of experience, our wines are handcrafted with care, tradition, and a touch of innovation.
Doug’s journey began with the legendary Wine Cask restaurant, earning global recognition and shaping Santa Barbara’s wine scene. In 2001, he launched Margerum Wine Company with a simple philosophy: small-batch, hands-on winemaking that captures the essence of Santa Barbara County.
Our Vineyards & Wines
Our 18-acre estate vineyard is dedicated to Rhône varietals, nestled between limestone hillsides and gravelly flatlands in the heart of wine country. We carefully hand-select fruit from top vineyards throughout the region, ensuring each bottle reflects its unique terroir.
We specialize in:
M5 – Our signature Rhône-style red blend
ÜBER – A bold, co-fermented Syrah
SYBARITE – A crisp, vibrant Sauvignon Blanc
M5 White – A beautifully balanced blend of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier, and Picpoul Blanc
RIVIERA Rosé – A fresh, elegant pink delight
BARDEN Wines – A Passion for Cool-Climate Perfection
In 2014, Doug introduced BARDEN Wines, showcasing the cool-climate magic of Sta. Rita Hills AVA. Named after his middle name, BARDEN translates to “lives near the boar’s den”, a nod to the wild boars roaming the vineyards. Each bottle is a testament to world-class winemaking.
