Passion, Persistence, and a Family’s Values at Heart.
Visiting the Santa Ynez Valley since the early 70’s, it just took a close friend mentioning an opportunity & Tony Vincent didn’t hesitate. A sizable project, the opportunity to create something from scratch so personal and a touch different in the Valley proved an inescapable possibility. So, in 2005 Vincent Vineyards was born.
Careful planning and expertise from soil to farming was paramount, efficient and sparing use of resources using the latest technologies, and ultimately the detailed work to create the vintages and facilities we enjoy the benefit of today. As with all personal projects, challenges, setbacks, and successes litter the landscape to the end goals – yet, it is the experience, exceptional people discovered, and pursuit of quality that make it all worthwhile.
Of humble beginnings, our founding patriarch invested a lifetime of persistence & hard work in pursuit of the very best he could conceive of at each step along his journey. Add a touch of good fortune and many decades followed gracing him with a variety of exceptional life experiences, adventures, and accomplishments shared along the way with those he loved and called friends – of which, Vincent Vineyards & Winery is no exception.
Club V and Winery itself have all been designed with sharing the experience and pleasure of wine, wine-making, and just good company at its heart. From the Vineyards 1950’s Packard to the 1950 Vincent Black Shadow motorcycle (a fun naming coincidence) our founders appreciation for unique & well executed vehicles extends similarly to our efforts everyday. A continual work in progress from inception to today, it is the people, experiences, and memories that make the very best parts of the culture of wine so enjoyable.
The Vincent family patriarch’s love of wine and great respect for those exceptional wines, vineyards, and winemakers guided his hand in the design and execution of Vincent Vineyards & Winery. Like so many things, actions speak louder and that promise is held close by the entire team every day we operate.
Just as the passion for wine guided the quality, care, and design of the Vince Vineyards & Winery, so it does for our team every day. Hard work, excellence, and care for those lucky enough to grace our lives are simple guides we do our best to embrace.
To create the type, style, and quality of wines desired – the finest farming, cultivation, stock, and soil are employed. Without exceptional farming, there is little any winemaker can accomplish. Thankfully, Vincent Vineyards also has an exceptional winemaker committed to & continually crafting that vision.
We invite you to come visit & join the journey, the fun, and ultimately the great joy we have been fortunate enough to call our own.
