Looking back as we celebrate our 30th harvest at Lucas & Lewellen while Megan McGrath Gates celebrates her 20th harvest. So much love and labor and sacrifice has been poured into 30 vintages. We are grateful for it all and that we’re still standing, together, and many of you are still here, after all these years, with your support and appreciation of the wines we make.

Six bottles of our 2022 Estate Chardonnay for $99 — including freight.

Roast chicken. Pasta. Seafood. Takeout. This wine just works.

From our family-owned vineyards in Santa Barbara County—still farmed by hand, still doing things the old way.

We suddenly have a few seats open for our long sold out Blind Tasting of Pinot Noir on Thursday May 21st! Six wines, all tasted blind. Even we won’t know what’s in the glass. Who will win? Come find out! Visit LLWine.com/events or phone 805/686-9336 to join us.

This is Lucas and Lewellen. Louis and Mike are more than two names on a label. These two come from families with decades of dirt under the fingernails, and a belief that wine is an important part of human history, and is still important today. Wine has been a part of our culture, bringing people together in times of joy, sadness, war, peace, celebration, feasting, and remembering. Wine is a common foundation for the best art, poetry, music. It makes romance, babies, dance parties, sunsets, holidays, weddings, and great Saturday nights. What you see here isn’t just a photo of Louis and Mike. It’s the steady hands behind every vintage, every harvest call, every personal risk, every decision that keeps a small, estate winery alive in a world that’s getting bigger, faster, more challenging, and far more corporate.

Family wineries like ours are becoming fewer. Not because the passion is gone, but because it’s really hard to do it this way profitably, to farm your own land, to hand pick every grape, to know your crews by name, to stand behind the bar and pour your own wine.

When you open a bottle from Lucas & Lewellen, you’re not just pouring a glass. You’re supporting vineyard workers, cellar crews, tasting room teams… real people whose livelihoods are tied to these vines and this place.

Drink local. Drink from family wineries. Drink wines that matter. Because the wines we remember best are the ones that have families behind them, not portfolios and profit centers.

Setting up the Tasting Room for tonight’s La Fiesta del Vinedo, a celebration of our incredible vineyard workers (who are taking La Dia Del Trabajo off so we might not get to celebrate with this hardworking crew in person!) We’ll be serving Alberto’s wife’s famous arroz and Anjie’s less-than-famous Rose Margaritas. Tonight only, if you buy a case of wine, any case, take home this beautiful Gracias a Los Vinedos bottle with a label painted by Andy Moore. It’s pretty special. Only 36 available. Hope to see you tonight!

Great people drank great wine at tonight’s Library Experience with Megan McGrath Gates. We are so thankful for all of you who make it possible for us to continue making the wine that makes us all happy!

Lucas & Lewellen Vineyards longtime winemaker Megan McGrath Gates tasted through 20 cellared reds today to narrow down to 8 wines for our Library Experience with Megan event next weekend. Great wines but she rose to the challenge and selected a 24 year old 2002 Syrah to start the evening. Hope you can make it! https://www.llwine.com/events/library-experience-taste-history-megan-mcgrath-gates-0
