So why should you visit Pence Vineyards & Winery for wine tasting?
Pence Vineyards and Winery is a small place in the sunny Santa Rita Hills of Santa Barbara County. Pence Vineyards is more than just a winery. The owners also run a working ranch, with happy (we think) cows overlooking their vineyards of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah.
As you may guess from those cows, the folks at Pence Vineyards and Winery are very much about the traditional Californian lifestyle. They use traditional methods of winemaking and can often be found about the ranch with the teams of dogs, horses, and cows.
Pence Vineyards can only accommodate a few people who make a reservation in advance. Don’t get frustrated if you can’t find an open reservation right away. The experience at Pence Winery is worth the effort.
Why is it worth the effort? Pence Vineyards provides a personal sit-down tasting in their tasting room, of course. The down-home vibe of the ranch extends to their cozy tasting room here. However, you don’t just have to see their tasting room. You can also have your tasting on the peaceful dock, the pond house, the canyon, or in the vineyards themselves. They also provide a tasting of 8 wines with only the difference in wines being the vintage and site. This educational program is called the Personal Library Tasting. This is a great way to learn about central coast Pinot Noir.
If you love a touch of the California ranch with your wine tasting, the Pence Vineyards & Winery has an experience for you. Check them out if you are planning on being in Santa Rita Hills.
