Folded Hills – Winery, Wine Tasting & Farmstead

Welcome to Folded Hills

Winery, Wine Tasting & Farmstead

Nestled among organic vineyards and row crops, our estate Folded Hills Winery tasting room offers an enchanting wine experience just 40 minutes from Santa Barbara and right off the 101 freeway. As the closest vineyard to the ocean and the first stop on your way to wine country, it’s the perfect place to begin your adventure. Across the street, you’ll find Folded Hills Farmstead, where guests can pet and feed adorable baby farm animals. We also have a second tasting room in Montecito’s lower village, providing a taste of ranch life in an urban seaside setting.

Our Story

Making friends is our business, and we are honored to share our wines with our friends. Inspired by my father, August A. Busch, Jr., who opened Grant’s Farm to the public in 1954, we continue his legacy of hospitality. Kim and I fell in love with Santa Barbara in 1998 and decided to raise our children amidst the beauty of the California coast and the joys of ranch life. Folded Hills became our haven, and we invite you to experience our wine, food, and way of life.

Our Beliefs at Folded Hills Winery

Legacy: We honor our heritage with wines named after family members, like the award-winning Lilly Rosé, August White, and Red blends.
Hands-On Approach: From tending animals to growing organic vegetables, our family is deeply involved in the ranch’s daily life. Meet our “farmily” of animals, including sheep, donkeys, mini horses, and even a camel and zebra!
Family: Our wines celebrate family, past and present, enriching and preserving our property for future generations.
Quality: We farm organically and craft our wines with minimal intervention, ensuring the highest quality. Our small-batch artisanal wines reflect the unique terroir of our old-world sustainable farm and working ranch.

We proudly welcome you to Folded Hills, where each bottle tells a story of history, legacy, and family. Come taste the sun, fog, and ocean breezes in every sip.

Tucked away between the coastal mountains of Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez Valley lies our 600 acre estate, Folded Hills. Folded Hills is built on our desire to preserve this agriculturally rich land while sharing our family’s story and lifestyle through the wine and food that we cultivate.
