Kick off the 25th Anniversary of Wine & Fire 2026 at the historic Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Barn — where Santa Barbara County’s first Pinot Noir vines were planted over 50 years ago.

Enjoy a festive evening of exceptional Sta. Rita Hills wines, including large-format, old, and rare bottle pours, alongside wood-fired pizza, artisanal cheeses and charcuterie, live music, and sweeping vineyard views. Winery owners and winemakers will be on hand throughout the evening for this intimate walk-around tasting experience.

The evening concludes with a special tribute honoring 2026 Cellar Excellence Award recipient Auggie Rodriguez of Sanford Winery.
