Peake Ranch

“I would give Bette and the events team 100 stars if I could! I had always loved the vibes and wines here, so when we started planning our small wedding, we knew it had to be here! We hosted a 50 person wedding at Peake Ranch in October 2025 and had the absolute best time. From booking and planning towards the big day, Bette was helpful, thorough and communicative. I had a vision of what I wanted, and Bette was able to connect me with the BEST vendors that had already worked events at Peake, making the coordination that much easier. The day of went seamless, everyone knowing where to be when and the day turned out absolutely fabulous. I highly recommend Peake Ranch winery (and Bette!) for private events. This is truly a hidden gem in the Santa Ynez Valley!”

“Expected a typical tasting event but enjoyed a familial experience not to be forgotten. Great views, interesting stories, and of course amazing wine. Thank you John for a great visit, and the humvee trip was literally the pinnacle of our vacation!”

“My friends and I had an amazing experience at The Peake Ranch! Our sever, Joe, was so friendly and attentive and the wine was incredible. We were celebrating a birthday and it was so special thanks to the amazing people at the winery. We will certainly be returning!”

“Peake Ranch Winery is an absolute gem in Santa Rita Hills and a must-visit for any wine lover. Their Chardonnay is outstanding! Beautifully balanced, elegant, and expressive of the terroir. The Pinot Noir is equally impressive, offering depth, structure, and refinement that truly honors the legacy of the region. The tasting experience is relaxed and welcoming, never rushed, and perfectly curated for enjoying each pour while taking in the stunning vineyard surroundings. The tasting room itself is gorgeous, blending rustic charm with modern sophistication and creating an atmosphere that invites you to linger. Austin did an amazing job guiding our tasting. His knowledge, passion, and genuine hospitality made us feel truly welcome and elevated the entire experience. What makes Peake Ranch even more special is its history. This property was the original Sanford Winery site, a cornerstone of Santa Barbara wine culture. Richard Sanford is often called the godfather of Santa Barbara Pinot Noir,helped put this region on the global wine map, and his legacy is deeply felt in every glass poured at Peake Ranch. Peake Ranch Winery seamlessly combines world-class wines, rich history, and an unforgettable tasting experience. It is a place where tradition, quality, and beauty come together.”

“This is a new wine lover's "hidden treasure" and a must "see and taste" stop while visiting the Santa Ynez area of the California Central Coast. The wines are remarkable, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly and you will not regret it. You're welcome.”
