Cottonwood Canyon Vineyard & Winery is a 78-acre estate winery situated about 10 minutes east of Santa Maria, California, at the northern edge of the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail in Santa Barbara County. Established in 1988 by the Beko family, the property is surrounded by the San Rafael Mountains and benefits from a cool, marine-influenced climate just 19 miles from the Pacific Ocean — conditions that shape its signature Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrah. The estate was the first in Santa Barbara County to construct wine caves, and those caves remain a defining feature of the property today. Multiple event spaces accommodate a wide range of gatherings — from an intimate 70-guest patio reception to a full 500-guest event spanning the tasting room, outdoor terrace, and amphitheater with vineyard and mountain views. Events are supported with tables, seating, and winery servers included in standard packages, and outside catering is permitted. Ample parking is available on site.
