Just off Alamo Pintado south of Los Olivos is Buttonwood Farm, home to Buttonwood Winery and Vineyard. Originally a horse ranch, it later became a farm, growing peaches, pomegranates, and almonds. In 1983 wine grapes were added to the mix, with the focus on Bordeaux varieties, including Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot.

The bright sunny tasting area is set among natural gardens and adjacent to the orchards.  Tastings are seated and outdoors and guests are invited to bring their own picnic and well-behaved dogs on leash are allowed.  The wines are poured seasonally and include Sauvignon Blancs (including a hopped Sauvignon Blanc!), Grenache Blanc, Rosés, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and other estate-grown blends. Tasting appointments are limited and reservations requested.

This is one of the most casual winery settings I have found in the area. I was a member up until recently. I really only quit because they give you 30 days to pick up your shipment or they send it out which when you live an hour and a half away, isn't worth the $20 UPS charge. Their wines aren't the best in the area but they are also very reasonably priced, more so than many of the other wineries. A good place for a picnic as they start you outside with the whites and Rose so you can eat and taste at the same time. My favorites are their Sauvignon Blanc, Rose (great with Asian food), Devin (white blend) and Trevin (red blend).

Do try the Bordeaux Blend, it was nice. I brought the wife and kids and we had a picnic on the grounds. We even purchased a few items from the winery shop. Nice stop.

Buttonwood is one of our stops on our first day of harvest weekend. Our server informs us the the Sauv Blan is 25% of all the wine produced at Buttonwood. The wine we tried was well polished and we buy a bottle. I am not sure about the reds, We all agreed that the whites are better than the reds. The tasting room is surrounded by orchards. On the trees that we saw were pomegranates and persimmons. A charming stop.

Buttonwood is a beautiful place to stop, have a picnic, taste wines, and stroll the orchard filled grounds. The wines are well made and consistent, with the Cab Franc being one of their signature bottles. The staff are very helpful and happy to answer questions about all their wines.
