Lompoc Wines Lompoc Wines is a community of urban wineries with the distinction of producing fine handcrafted win Tasting rooms later opened, beginning with Palmina in 2005.

We started out as a community of urban wineries in an industrial setting with the distinction of offering fine handcrafted wines. We've evolved into a trail of tasting rooms and wineries extending across town. Today Lompoc has the one of the largest concentrations of world-class, small-producer tasting rooms in Santa Barbara County, making a wide variety of wines and styles. This makes Lompoc an e

asy and exciting destination for your wine-getaway

The first winery in the Sobhani Industrial Park, affectionately called the Lompoc Wine Ghetto, was opened in 1998 by Richard Longoria. Now Lompoc has evolved into a wine mecca that extends from the original Lompoc Wine Ghetto across the city. Some wineries own their own vineyards and others source fruit from local and remote vineyards. The individual characteristics of the various brands are reflected by the distinct personalities that you will find in each tasting room. Ironically, Lompoc was founded as a temperance colony in 1874. When the town was incorporated as the city of Lompoc in 1888, the temperance clause written into every deed was found to be unenforceable; temperance was officially over. No doubt, temperance was difficult to enforce with the influx of Portuguese, Italian and other immigrants who were accustomed to their own home winemaking. The Lompoc Valley’s tradition of growing grapes and making wine dates back to the Mission period, from approximately 1787-1835. La Purisima Mission had its own vineyard for the production of wines for sacramental offerings and other general use. Their pear brandy was prized worldwide. In 1971 the first two vineyards were planted in what would become the Sta. Rita Hills AVA: Sanford and Benedict Vineyard and Lafond Vineyard.
