Founded as Santa Barbara County’s first estate winery in 1972, Firestone Vineyard today remains a cornerstone of coastal estate winemaking, producing highly acclaimed wines that capture the distinctive flavors of their vineyards and region.
Estate
The Firestone Vineyard estate spans three generations of Firestone family stewardship and eight individual vineyards in the Santa Ynez Valley.
Appellation
Viticulture in Santa Barbara County’s Santa Ynez Valley benefits from the unique east-to-west orientation of the surrounding mountain ranges. These transverse ranges open to the Pacific Ocean at their western extreme, inviting a cooling maritime influence that extends the growing season and encourages the development of exquisitely balanced and flavorful grapes.
Soils
Firestone Vineyard’s estate soils range from sand to gravelly loam with rocky subsoils. Such well-draining soils are optimal for winegrowing, forcing vine roots deep into ground and ultimately generating more concentrated varietal flavors.
