  • A delightfully crafted flight of our limited production wines, each ranging from $70 up to $200 a bottle
  • Gain insight into what makes the Santa Ynez Valley one of the best wine producing regions in the world

Before You Arrive

To ensure you have the best possible experience at McKinney Family Vineyards, please keep the following in mind:

  • Outside alcohol is not permitted.
  • We do not provide food or snacks, but you are welcome to bring your own.
  • Santa Ynez Valley can have extreme weather (hot days and cool evenings), please be prepared and dress appropriately.
