Located in the heart of Sta Rita Hills, Pence Vineyards & Winery is part of an impressive 200-acre polycultural vineyard estate and working ranch owned by Blair Pence that is producing outstanding wines from their organically farmed vines. From vine to glass, Pence’s philosophy is non-interventionist and site-driven, focusing on transparency and purity. With a five star winemaking team led by Sashi Moorman, the result is a range of elegantly crafted wines that nods to Burgundy in style but show pure Sta. Rita Hills character. If you visit, expect to be greeted by Rosie, one of their three Rhodeisan Ridgebacks and a flock of peacocks, including a rare albino peacock.
