About Alma Rosa Winery & Vineyards

Alma Rosa is a Sta. Rita Hills estate devoted to cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with some Syrah, Grenache, rose, and sparkling. It was founded in 2005 by Richard Sanford, the Santa Barbara pioneer who planted one of the region's first vineyards in 1971 and did as much as anyone to prove this cool, ocean-influenced corner as world-class Pinot country. The estate is organically farmed, the first in the area to earn that distinction, and the name means soul of the rose, a nod to the historic Rancho Santa Rosa land grant it sits on.

There are two ways to taste. The Buellton tasting room on Industrial Way is a relaxed, loft-like space with oak-shaded outdoor seating and walk-ins welcome. For something more immersive, book a private tour of the 600-plus-acre El Jabali ranch in the Sta. Rita Hills, a golf-cart ride through the vineyards, often with deer and wild turkeys nearby, and sometimes a chance to meet Sanford himself.
