Presqu’ile Winery
WINNER

Presqu’ile Winery redefines the modern California wine experience in Santa Barbara County, blending winemaking with art, architecture, and immersive hospitality. This family-owned estate focuses on cool-climate expressions of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah, while also championing underappreciated varieties such as Aligoté and Gamay, all reflecting the nuance of the Santa Maria Valley, rooted in sustainable farming and a deep sense of place. Presqu’ile represents a commitment to cultural experiences alongside wine, including a new collaboration with the Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) to present site-responsive contemporary art and expand free public access to curated installations. It is also the first winery in the nation to feature an Inciardi Mini Print Vending Machine, bringing collectible art into the tasting room. From adventurous estate tours to terrace tastings paired with seasonal cuisine by Estate Chef Julie Simon, Presqu’ile offers a thoughtful, multidimensional destination on the Central Coast.
