Babcock Winery & Vineyards was established in 1978 when my mom & dad, Mona & Walter, purchased a 110 acre property with lima beans & fallow land in the countryside in the western end of the Santa Ynez Valley. At the time, they were in the restaurant business, the proprietors of the legendary Walt's Wharf in Seal Beach.
Over the years, my dad practiced a number of crafts, making him a full-fledged Renaissance guy. At the time of establishing the vineyard, he was also a dentist & a commercial fisherman. Shortly after the purchase of the property, they planted a modest 20 acres to Gewurtraminer, Sauvignon Blanc & Chardonnay.

The Soulstruck Vintage Story
Report
I'm Bryan's wife Lisa, among many other things. I'm the quirky mind behind the labels, the furnishings, & tchotchke laden landscape of Babcock Winery. If you like it, great! Please keep coming for more, as it is constantly evolving. My father flew commercial planes as a flight engineer for many years.

Your winery was an amazing place to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday. The private setting, long tables and friendly hospitable staff made for such a great experience. Our host, was extremely knowledgeable and helped elevate our experience. The private area was tucked back with a beautiful view of the valley and vineyard.

Winemaker Notes
Report
There is a place under an ancient Oak tree on the Peake Ranch, where if you look toward the west you see one of the most beautiful little hillsides in the Sta. Rita Hills. For me, part of its beauty is the daily breeze that all of a sudden cools down a couple degrees once it hits the shade of that massive tree.
