The Barn at The Hilt Estate

Nestled along scenic Highway 1 just a stone’s throw from the Pacific Ocean in the far southwest corner of Santa Barbara County’s Sta. Rita Hills, The Barn at The Hilt Estate is the hospitality nucleus of two Santa Barbara County’s most esteemed wine estates: JONATA and The Hilt Estate. This architectural masterpiece, which is ideally situated as the starting or ending point for any Santa Barbara wine trip, was brought to life by renowned architect Howard J. Backen of the firm Backen & Backen Architects and Silvia Nobili of Nobili Marqués Arquitectura, with interiors by Amber Lewis of Amber Interiors Design Studio. The Barn serves as a gorgeous and dramatic backdrop for lovers of wine and design to taste in an indoor-outdoor space, overflowing with sophisticated yet unassuming California farmhouse elegance. Since opening in 2021, the space has set a new benchmark for quality and hospitality in the ever-popular region.
