Firestone Vineyard & Winery

Firestone Vineyard & Winery is a California original since 1972, established by Leonard and Brooks Firestone as the first estate winery in Santa Barbara County. The winery has grown under Vintner Bill Foley's guidance to encompass 325 certified sustainable vineyard acres within the desirable Santa Ynez Valley appellation. This region boasts a unique climate with diurnal temperature swings of up to 50 degrees, creating a "sweet spot" for viticulture and allowing for a wide range of varieties to thrive. Firestone's estate vineyards are situated on mesas composed of sandy loam with rocky sub-soils, which contribute to well-draining soils that minimize vine vigor and promote concentrated flavors. The winery is committed to sustainability through aggressive canopy control, irrigation management, and varietal-specific crop management protocols. Visitors can enjoy walk-in wine tastings at the Firestone Vineyard & Winery, located in one of California's most popular weekend destinations, the Santa Ynez Valley. This picturesque region offers a range of activities, including outdoor adventures, great restaurants, and accommodations. With over 50 wineries in the area, wine aficionados can explore the many offerings within the Santa Ynez Valley AVA, which is capable of successfully growing a diverse array of grape varieties.
