Zaca Mesa Winery

Nestled in the picturesque San Rafael Mountains, lies the esteemed Zaca Mesa Winery. Good vibes meet good wines at this stunning setting. The winery was founded in 1973 by a group of friends seeking to experiment in the discipline of winemaking. In order to discover the most suitable grapes for the terrain, many varieties were planted. Zaca Mesa’s first winemaker, Ken Brown, broke new ground by establishing it as the pioneer of Syrah planters in Santa Barbara County. This area is now known as the famous Black Bear Block where the winery strives to maintain balance between business and nature. Along with their commitment to fostering a healthy environment, Zaca Mesa leaves two-thirds of their property open for wildlife to roam and to preserve natural groundwater. Uncork the magic of Zaca Mesa Winery and discover its rich history and exquisite wines!
