Harvest is winding down and the days are getting shorter, but the weather didn’t get the memo. Highs in the 90s this weekend—even by the coast! Sunsets over Highway 246 never disappoint this time of year. Take this as your sign to book that trip.

“After traveling through w**e regions around the world, I continue to believe the Sta. Rita Hills belongs among the finest. Yet for all its growing international stature, it has retained an intimacy and generosity that make it distinctly its own.” — Jamie Knee

Last week, we honored Richard Sanford at an intimate dinner at the Alma Rosa Estate during our W**e & Fire weekend.

After returning home from the Vietnam War, Richard found a country deeply divided and broken. Seeking peace and a way to heal, he turned to nature. As a trained geographer, he looked at the unique geography of the Sta. Rita Hills and saw extraordinary potential where others didn’t.

Alongside biologist Michael Benedict, Richard chose an old bean field to plant cool-climate Pinot Noir—a delicate grape that had previously struggled in other parts of California. His leap of faith ultimately put our region on the global w**e map.

Thank you, Richard, for your vision, your quiet wisdom, and everything you’ve given to this region over the last 50+ years🍷
