Firestone Vineyard holds a singular place in California wine history as the first estate winery established in Santa Barbara County. Founded in the early 1970s by Leonard Firestone — a former U.S. Ambassador to Belgium and grandson of tire innovator Harvey Firestone — the property took root in the Santa Ynez Valley at a time when the region was little known for wine production. Leonard's son Brooks and daughter-in-law Kate joined the venture, and together the family built what a 1987 Los Angeles Times Magazine profile called the work of "a pioneer, an inspirer, and an expander of possibilities." Set on 5017 Zaca Station Road in Los Olivos, the vineyard spans 325 certified sustainable acres in a "unique cusp region" where moderate coastal temperatures and an extended growing season support an unusually broad range of varieties — from Bordeaux and Rhône reds to Burgundy, Loire Valley, and German-inspired whites. Vintner Bill Foley acquired the property in 2007 and continues advancing its reputation today. The winery's grounds feature a barrel room, fermentation cellar, tasting room, and outdoor courtyard where live music is hosted on weekends. The setting — vineyard rows, palm trees, and the Santa Ynez Mountains as a backdrop — creates an atmosphere well suited to gatherings and celebrations.

An on-site dining program led by Chef Jessica Ramirez includes a Chef's Table experience, where guests observe the kitchen at work in an intimate setting.

Kestrel Park can be found in the Santa Ynez Valley, which is adjacent to the town of Santa Ynez and can be reached in thirty minutes from Santa Barbara. Our private estate serves as the setting for a select few of the events that we host each year due to the nature of our boutique and exclusive location. This guarantees that the grounds are kept in pristine shape at all times and that our customers are not hurried whether checking in or checking out (which can happen at venues that book events back to back). The Kitchen Garden is only exposed after passing through the arched entryway and gives an unlimited selection of settings in which to be photographed or wander around while drinking a cocktail. It is set in a one-acre "room" that is totally enclosed by a 12 foot high Hornbeam hedge. A stone fruit orchard with 30 trees, including peach, pluot, plum, apricot, and nectarine, is included, in addition to a heritage apple and pear orchard with 30 trees and a big vegetable garden. The stone fruit orchard includes: peach, pluot, plum, apricot, and nectarine. A cutting garden with over 700 tall bearded irises, 300 David Austin roses (comprising approximately 60 distinct types), gladiolas, tuberose, daffodils, carnations, and a lavender garden has also been painstakingly included.

Sunstone Villa is an 8,500-square-foot Provençal-inspired estate nestled in California's Santa Ynez Valley, 35 minutes north of Santa Barbara. The property was built with reclaimed French materials — limestone walls salvaged from historic châteaus in Aix-en-Provence, Normandy, and the Loire Valley, and wood beams reclaimed from a 19th-century lavender factory in Avignon — creating an authentic European atmosphere set against the rolling vineyards and olive groves of Santa Barbara Wine Country. The Villa hosts weddings, corporate retreats, private celebrations, and intimate elopements across its courtyards, lavender gardens, and vineyard terraces.
