Vega Vineyard & Farm is where Santa Barbara Wine Country, hospitality, and a true sense of place come together. After more than 40 years in the hospitality business, we understand the value of building relationships, sharing a table for special moments over food and wine, and experiencing the beauty and bounty of the Santa Ynez Valley.
Set on a historic estate vineyard and farm, Vega offers an experience that goes far beyond traditional wine tasting—from award-winning wines and farm-driven cuisine to expansive outdoor spaces, vineyard views, and warm, welcoming hospitality. Vega has been recognized locally for Best Tasting Room, Best Brunch, and Best Outdoor Space, while our wines continue to earn recognition well beyond Santa Barbara County. Our estate Vermentino received international acclaim at the Vermentino festival in Sardinia, Italy, and Wine Enthusiast recognized Vega’s Barbera among the very best of 2025.
Vega is also proudly family-friendly, making it a destination the entire family can enjoy. Guests can take a tractor ride through the property, visit our farm animals, explore the Mercantile, and relax in our dedicated kids’ area. Our restaurant also offers kid-friendly food options, so parents can enjoy great wine and farm-driven cuisine while younger guests have plenty to experience too.
With a concentration on our estate vineyard, we seek to produce wines that are truly “a window to a place.” Each wine is different in expression, with its own subtle yet distinctive character and voice. Every vintage renews our drive to understand, react to, and work with the vineyard so it can reach its full potential. Led by acclaimed winemaker Steve Clifton, this thoughtful relationship between vineyard and cellar is at the heart of everything we produce.
At Vega Vineyard & Farm, guests are invited to slow down, gather around the table, explore the property, and experience Santa Barbara Wine Country through exceptional wine, food, agriculture, and hospitality—all in one unforgettable setting for wine lovers, couples, friends, and families alike.
