Dave Stamey has made it his life’s work to celebrate the rural American west. In the past two decades he has recorded eleven albums of original music, travelled literally hundreds of thousands of miles and performed thousands of shows doing just that. He lives in the farthest north- eastern corner of Tulare County, California, and the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains begin just outside his back door.

Join us to celebrate the premiere release of our limited-edition, 2022 Sparkling Rose, featuring original artwork by Artist – in – Residence, Lou Schad of Dirty Folk.

Set among the rolling Sta. Rita Hills, the day will include live music from Sage City Band, freshly prepared gourmet lunch, vintage finds from Lisa’s Vault & an immersive experience of the landscape that informs both the wine and the artwork.

Guests are invited to experience Lou’s Schad’s work in person through a display of her artwork & a live painting session throughout the day.

Experience a one-of-a-kind live reggae concert in the heart of Santa Barbara Wine Country. Set amid sweeping vineyard views of the San Rafael Mountains, rhythm and vines bring together reggae royalty for an unforgettable afternoon.

Headlining the stage are the incomparable Fully Fullwood & Santa Davis, two architects of reggae music whose bass lines and drumming shaped the sound of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Black Uhuru, Burning Spear, and beyond. Supporting them is Santa Barbara’s own Cornerstone, led by Alfredo “Fredo” Peralta, a roots, dub, and reggae staple of the 805 live music scene since 2005.

Grab a glass, settle in, and let the riddim move through the vines. We’ll be pouring a curated selection of our favorite wines, along with an exclusive preview of something new we’re not quite ready to share just yet
