Fodor's Expert Review Alma Rosa Winery
Solvang
Winery
Pioneering winemaker Richard Sanford helped put Santa Barbara County on the international wine map with a 1989 Pinot Noir, and founded Alma Rosa Winery in 2005. Today, Alma Rosa winemaker Sara Morris crafts wines from grapes grown on 100-plus acres of sustainable farmed vineyards in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. The Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays are exceptional. Vineyard tours and tastings are available by appointment.
