Beckmen Vineyards

Winery & Wine Tasting

~ Beckmen Vineyards ~

Beckman Vineyards is one of North America’s premier producers of Rhône varietal wines since our establishment in 1994.

A family owned and operated vineyard and winery, we use estate grown fruit from our certified biodynamic Purisima Mountain Vineyard, located in the limestone laden hills of the Ballard Canyon AVA.

Wine Tasting

We invite you to sample our distinctive wines at our rustic tasting room, nestled on the Beckmen Estate Vineyard next to our winery, just two miles south of Los Olivos. Beckmen Vineyards’ wines exclusively craft from the 150 acres of grapevine grown on our two vineyards. Our team is dedicated to creating high quality, authentic, delicious wines.

Winery

We specialize in Syrah and Grenache, as well as Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Grenache Blanc, and Marsanne. We welcome visitors daily from 11am – 5pm. We’re off the beaten track, but once you find us, you will be rewarded with delectable wines, amazing views, and a wonderful winery experience!

Our Story: Where Tradition Meets Exceptional Wines

Under the Santa Barbara Skies

In today’s fast-paced world, finding a wine that truly speaks to you can feel overwhelming. Glossy labels and flashy awards might grab your attention, but at Beckmen Vineyards, we believe in something more timeless. We’re proud to be a family-owned winery rooted in tradition, crafting estate-grown, premium wines that harmonize with nature and genuinely reflect the beauty of their origin.

Nestled in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley, we were the first to farm biodynamically in Santa Barbara County. Our focus? Growing great grapes that produce even greater wines. Our dedication has earned us a place in some of the finest homes and restaurants across the country, including the White House! Whether you’re enjoying a Rhône-style red or one of our signature whites, every Beckmen wine offers a definitive experience you can trust.

Crafted with Care, Loved by Many

Our journey began with Tom Beckmen, a visionary leader from the electronic music industry who turned his passion toward wine. Tom’s commitment to innovation paved the way for his son Steve, who pushed the boundaries of winemaking in Santa Barbara County. He focused on Rhône varietals and establishing the first certified Biodynamic vineyard in the region. Today, with Jeff Beckmen at the helm of national sales, the family continues to share their love for wine, crafting every bottle with pride and precision.

Experience Our Vineyards

Our wines are a true reflection of their origins, lovingly crafted from the Thomas and Judith Beckmen Estate Vineyard and the Purisima Mountain Vineyard. Each sip tells the story of the land, from the limestone-rich soils of Purisima Mountain to the well-drained, sun-kissed hills of Los Olivos. Whether you’re a fan of our flagship Syrah or our beautifully balanced Grenache, there’s a Beckmen wine waiting to be discovered.

Visit Us and Taste the Difference

Our wines are more than just beverages; they’re experiences waiting to be savored.

Sustainable, Biodynamic Farming

At Beckmen Vineyards, we go beyond organic, treating our farm as a living organism. Our commitment to Biodynamic farming means no herbicides, insecticides, pesticides, or nitrogen-based fertilizers—just great grapes grown with care.

Winemaking: The Art of Balance

From vineyard to bottle, our mission is simple. We showcase the distinct qualities of each grape variety and the unique character of our vineyards. With meticulous attention to detail and a passion for excellence, we create wines that balance depth, complexity, and elegance.

Traditional Craftsmanship

Consequently, 8,000 years of winemaking history, honoring ancient traditions inspired us while embracing modern innovation. Our commitment to chemical-free farming and handcrafting wines in custom amphora ensures that every bottle of Beckmen wine is a celebration of “slow” agriculture and folk craftsmanship.

Come taste the difference that tradition, passion, and place make in every Beckmen wine. We can’t wait to share our story with you!
