Experience the Finest Wine Tasting

~ Brick Barn Estate ~

Since the 1800s, the Brick Barn Wine Estate has been a place of farming, ranching, Arabian horse breeding, and entrepreneurship.

Our Story

At Brick Barn Wine Estate, we create wines that we adore and grow grapes that inspire our passion.

Founded by the dynamic duo, Norman and Kathleen Williams. Brick Barn Winery is the result of their shared dream to craft something extraordinary. It all began in 2012 when they planted the estate vineyard, leading to our very first vintage in 2015. By 2018, we opened the doors to our tasting room, inviting wine lovers to experience our unique creations firsthand.

But the story of Brick Barn goes back even further. It all started in 1968 when Norman acquired 40 acres of this beautiful land. Over the years, the property thrived not just as a hub of organic farming and ranching but also as a renowned Arabian horse farm, earning its place among the valley’s finest.

Today, Brick Barn Wine Estate shines as a symbol of excellence, known for our unwavering commitment to producing wines that truly reflect the essence of our terroir. Every bottle tells a story of heritage, innovation, and the timeless pursuit of perfection.

Estate Vineyards

Nestled in the picturesque Santa Ynez Valley, just north of the Santa Ynez River and near Buellton, lies our 35-acre Brick Barn estate vineyard—a hidden gem in a beautiful wine-growing region. As the westernmost vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley AVA, Brick Barn is uniquely positioned at the crossroads of the valley’s warmth and the cool Sta. Rita Hills AVA.

Located just 10 miles from the Pacific Ocean, our vineyard enjoys the perfect balance of cool morning fog, refreshing evening breezes, and sunny afternoons. This combination ensures that our grapes ripen gradually, preserving their natural acidity and developing rich, complex flavors. It’s this blend of sunlight and fog that gives Brick Barn’s fruit its remarkable depth and character.

Our Philosophy

“Family and wine have always been at the heart of who I am.”
– Adrian Bolshoi, Winemaker

At Brick Barn Wine Estate, our winemaking philosophy is deeply rooted in our estate vineyard’s unique character. We believe in letting the vineyard speak for itself, using non-invasive farming practices that allow our grapes to express their true essence. Our commitment to minimal intervention ensures that every wine we produce reflects the distinct personality of our terroir.

Under the expert guidance of Winemaker Adrian Bolshoi, we utilize a variety of fermentation and maturation vessels, including oak barrels, stainless steel, and concrete, to bring out the best in each wine. Our goal is to honor the vineyard’s intentions and unlock its full potential. We are creating wines that are a true expression of the land we love.
