Grassini Family Vineyards is a family-owned boutique winery dedicated to crafting 100% estate-grown Bordeaux varietal wines in the renowned Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara AVA. Located in the eastern Santa Ynez Valley, the estate benefits from warm days, cool nights, and a distinctive microclimate ideal for producing exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc.
Founded by Larry and Sharon Grassini, who purchased the property in the 1980s after being drawn to its natural beauty, the estate is rooted in a legacy of family, hard work, and respect for the land. The vineyard is farmed sustainably using renewable resources and a hands-on approach. Today, the winery is led by their daughter, Katie Grassini, alongside her husband, Dean McKillen, continuing the tradition of producing wines that reflect the character of this unique site.
Guests can experience Grassini wines at the award-winning tasting room in the heart of Downtown Santa Barbara or visit the Santa Ynez estate for intimate, vineyard-side tastings. From curated flights to private tours, each experience offers a thoughtful introduction to the wines, the story, and the spirit of Happy Canyon.
