About This Winery
+ More
The hills around Buellton, California gently enfold the vineyards of Dragonette Cellars. Partners John Dragonette, Steve Dragonette and Brandon Sparks-Gillis picked this spot in Santa Barbara County because it gave them scope to achieve their dream of personally handcrafting wines from the finest vineyard sites in the Central Coast of California.
You can call them and ask for a private tour of their charming winery, but if you would rather enjoy their wine away from vines, Dragonette Cellars has a tasting room on the Los Olivos promenade. The cellar offers both reserve and regular tastings here, and they offer wines from Dragonette’s small lots that you can’t buy anywhere else. The tasting room lets the true wine enthusiast focus entirely on the tasting experience. It’s a good sized room, painted pale green outside and white inside, with one communal counter for you to experience their wines. A few black wooden shelves hold wine and shirts for sale, and their logo, a line through a pair of C’s facing away from each other, hangs on the wall.
Sip and savor the Syrahs, Sauvignon Blancs, Pinot Noirs and Grenaches to your heart’s content, just as the Dragonettes and Sparks-Gillis intended. Their case production may be a mere 5,950, but their handcrafted wines are well-worth the time. This is a great stop for anyone who loves Rhone varietals. Dragonette Cellars is one of the better small production Rhone producers in Santa Barbara. That is saying a lot with the increased focus on Rhone in the area and the number of great producers.
When you are in the Los Olivos wine tasting hotspot, make sure to include Dragonette in your tour.
