About J. Carey Cellars

J. Carey Cellars is one of Santa Barbara County's most historically significant estates, established in 1978, among the first wave of wineries to demonstrate that the Santa Ynez Valley's cool marine-influenced climate could produce world-class Bordeaux varieties. The Carey family's Alamo Pintado Road estate predates the county's wine boom by more than a decade, and the family's commitment to estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot has remained unchanged through the region's transformation from agricultural backwater to internationally recognized wine destination.

The Santa Ynez Valley's geography creates a distinctive growing environment: a transverse valley that opens to the Pacific Ocean at Santa Barbara, funneling cool marine air directly into the vineyard and moderating temperatures in ways that preserve natural acidity in Bordeaux varieties. The Carey estate's Cabernet and Merlot reflect this climate, wines with more freshness and structure than most California Cabernet, from one of the state's most historically significant family wineries.

The walk-in tasting room on Alamo Pintado Road is one of Santa Ynez Valley's most established wine experiences.
