The Gatehouse at Bien Nacido

“Special winery off-the-beaten path, with world class wines. Stunning view, beautiful new, clean & modern tasting room. Service impeccable. Mercy and Morrie are tops in hospitality & knowledge ❤️”

“WOW! What an absolutely AMAZING visit! We sat on the patio and were able to gaze at the legendary Bien Nacido Vineyard. Brittany & Morrie were the absolute BEST hosts. So knowledgeable, personable & helpful! If you have not visited before, this is a MUST! So beautiful and peaceful. CHEERS!”

“We visit this wine country every year with friends, and Bien Nacido was our favorite this trip, fabulous wine, excellent service, great snacks and the live music was an unexpected gift! We had a fabulous afternoon. They had games for the kids and patio is dog friendly. We highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thank you!”

“Visited Bien Nacido in August 2023 and did their Black Label tasting. All of the wines were amazing, especially recommend the Pinot Noir Rose, Chardonnay, and The Captain Pinot Noir was probably the best Pinot Noir I've ever had, anywhere. The patio has a beautiful open view towards the mountainside where the grapes grow. Visit here in the afternoon under a clear blue sky - you'll be glad you visited BN while in Santa Ynez.”

“What a beautiful addition to the Santa Maria Valley and on one of the most iconic sites in the whole world. The wines from Bien Nacido & Solomon Hills are amazing. I love the Belle of the Ball and the Succession, but you honestly cant get a bad bottle. Try the ATV tour if you have time to book it. Its the best way to experience the whole beauty of the property.”
