In the context of Lafond Winery & Vineyards, Sta. Rita Hills brings a maritime edge to the day: wind, fog and cool temperatures create a landscape where vineyard location can matter as much as grape variety.

For Lafond Winery & Vineyards, walk-in policies, tasting formats and hours can shift, so verify the address and booking options shortly before travel rather than relying on an older directory or map entry.
