Located in northern Santa Barbara County on the
Sisquoc River 14 miles east of Santa Maria, Rancho
Sisquoc is part of an 1852 Spanish land grant. The
Chumash Indians called this area "Sisquoc", which
meant "gathering place". Today Rancho Sisquoc is
again a gathering place, this time for wine lovers.
As you drive the road that snakes along the edge of
the valley floor to the ranch headquarters and tasting
room, you leave the rush of the present day behind.
The farmhouse and barn date from the early 1900s,
and artifacts of an earlier age give the ranch the
feeling of a time when the pace was slower and
unrushed.
Warmer than vineyards in the lower Santa Maria
Valley, Rancho Sisquoc is cooler than the Santa Ynez
Valley only twenty miles to the south due to what is
known as the transverse range, which are coastal
mountains running west to east that bring cool
winds and fog inland from the Pacific Ocean.
