Sunstone Winery

Sunstone started planting in 1990 with the dedication to doing organic farming. As new technology embarks and using chemicals became a natural remedy in agriculture, sunstones remain in their goal. Sunstone’s estate vineyards run parallel with and step down to the Santa Ynez River and offer two principal soil types.

The Sunstone Estate is planted on three terraces, each on a foundation of Monterey shale of the early to late Miocene age. Sunstone’s twenty-eight-acre vineyard was planted in 1990 to Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, and Viognier and is farmed in an organic, bio-sustainable manner.
