About Beckmen Vineyards
Beckmen Vineyards is the most individually biodynamic-Purisima-Mountain-limestone-Rhône-variety-committed and personally family-Beckmen-warmly-conducted Santa Ynez Valley Rhône appointment. Tom and Judith Beckmen established the Ontiveros Road Los Olivos estate in 1994 and subsequently developed the biodynamic Purisima Mountain Vineyard on the calcareous limestone ridge above the Santa Ynez Valley floor — creating one of Santa Barbara County's most personally biodynamic-conviction and limestone-Rhône-variety-committed boutique wine programs.
The Purisima Mountain Vineyard — a Demeter-certified biodynamic estate on calcareous limestone ridge terrain — produces Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre of mineral, food-first character that Wine Advocate has recognized at 91–95 points for the most individually biodynamic-calcareous-limestone Rhône-variety-terroir-specific and family-Beckmen-warmly-conducted Santa Ynez Valley appointment expression.
The daily walk-in format with picnic grounds, family-welcoming atmosphere, and accessible pricing makes Beckmen one of the most broadly visitor-accessible and biodynamic-Purisima-Mountain-Rhône-variety-quality-committed walk-in appointments in the Los Olivos Santa Ynez Valley wine district.
