Gainey Vineyard Description

Turning off highway 246 into Gainey Vineyard, visitors wind along a pepper-tree-lined road that runs alongside well-tended vineyards toward the Spanish-hacienda-style winery and tasting room of Gainey Vineyards. Inside you will find a first class tasting expereince.

The sizeable tasting room is adorned with a tile floor, fireplace and multiple tasting locations. Food, gifts, and views of the patio, lawns and extensive picnic areas further add to the winery’s ambiance. A recipe bin holds complimentary recipes, along with suggested pairings of Gainey wines. A cooler has cheeses and other snack items available for purchase.

The 1,800-acre Gainey Ranch blends Arabian horse facilities, cattle ranching and vineyards. Their grape holdings include vineyards in the cool Santa Rita Hills, as well as in the warmer Santa Ynez Valley. The wines produced include Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Merlot, Syrah, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc.

This hacienda was hopping, but it could handle the crowds with its multiple tasting bars. The wine was priced right, and I even got to keep a souvenir glass. Try the 2005 Sauvignon Blanc.
