A former dairy set on a hillside just south of Los Olivos is now the home of LinCourt Vineyards. The quaint tasting room is actually an original Sear’s Craftsman kit home, while the milking barn has been converted to the winery and barrel room. Under a giant California Pepper tree a picnic table overlooks the estate vineyards, further adding to the rural charm of the place. A raised, covered observation and picnic deck looks out over the vineyards. A horseshoe pit just a few yards from the vineyard completes the country setting.

In the tasting room gardening tools, watering cans, garden containers and related items are for sale. Wines produced include classic the Burgundy varietals Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, as well as Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Grapes are sourced from their own holdings as well as from other Santa Barbara County vineyards. (As you drive south from LinCourt remember to slow down and take a gander at the miniature horse ranch just down the road.)
