Purchased by Roger Bower in 2012, Crown Point is an estate winery dedicated to crafting wines of the highest distinction. Nestled in the eastern-most foothills of the east-to-west transverse valley of the Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara AVA (American Viticultural Area), Crown Point is blessed with distinct climatic conditions and soil types that provide an ideal growing environment for Bordeaux varieties.

Winemaker Adam Henkel joined Roger in 2013. Adam, who spent 10 years in the Napa Valley, including eight years at Harlan Estate in Oakville, had long been fascinated by the viticultural diversity and geographical grandeur of Santa Barbara County. His pursuit at Crown Point has been to express the unique characteristics and individuality of the region’s preeminent vineyards through farming and winemaking at the highest possible level.

Roger engaged Philippe Melka in 2017 as part of his commitment to constant improvement and excellence.

At Crown Point Vineyards, we offer a unique tasting experience to help educate our members and guests as to why our estate is an ideal place for growing Bordeaux varieties. The private tour & tasting allows you to learn how Crown Point was founded, share Roger Bower’s vision for this special property, and experience, first-hand, that no expense has been spared to develop the vineyard and winery. The experience starts with a guided tour through 50 acres of estate vineyards followed by a walking tour through the winery and barrel rooms. The tour finishes with a seated tasting of our estate wines and a cheese pairing.

We will do whatever we can to accommodate friends of Crown Point. All tastings are by appointment only, and we can arrange private visits on a limited basis for members and guests Monday through Friday.

CrossHatch Winery

All of the wines produced by CrossHatch Winery are co-fermented blends sourced from Santa Barbara County vineyards. The idea of co-fermented wine is nothing new. Some of the best and oldest wines in the world are made this way, but with the micro-climates of Santa Barbara it really adds another layer to the process. Co-fermentation brings out and creates flavors in the wine that would not have existed otherwise. This makes the CrossHatch wine truly one of a kind.

California wine country

Enjoy a glass of wine or wine tasting in the heart of California wine country.  We invite you to stop by our tasting room in the historic and quaint town of Santa Ynez to soak in the majestic views from the patio. We look forward to sharing our wines with you.

Maverick Saloon

Legendary

Since the early 1900s, the logo mirrors, posters, lighted beer signs and rusted horseshoes line the wooden walls, offering snapshots of the past that reflect decades of revelry.

The ceiling flutters with paper money bearing scribbled birthday wishes, business cards, meeting notes, names and wobbly autographs– an aerial guest book just waiting for more entries.

Still going strong, the legendary Maverick Saloon  continues to be a staple in the Santa Ynez Valley.

Santa Ynez Valley Historical Museum

The Santa Ynez Valley Historical Museum and Parks-Janeway Carriage House celebrate the rich history of the Santa Ynez Valley, its pioneering settlers and the five early townships that formed the foundation of this unique region.

Through its collection, exhibits and educational programs, the Museum honors the Valley’s past for the enjoyment of generations to come. See our website for a current list of exhibitions.

The Santa Ynez Valley Historical Museum is also available for special events. Rental fees are very competitive and our friendly staff works with you to make everything perfect for your special event.

In 1961, a group of dedicated Valley residents who recognized the need to preserve local history organized The Santa Ynez Valley Historical Society.

Over the years, a single room has developed into a large complex surrounding a beautiful courtyard. The Santa Ynez Valley Historical Museum houses exhibits from the Chumash period through early 20th Century ranching days.

The Parks-Janeway Carriage House

The Parks-Janeway Carriage House showcases a superb collection of horse-drawn vehicles and related tack. The Ellen Gleason Memorial Library is devoted to local and California history.

SYV Historical Society is a non-profit organization depending on the generosity of its members, benefactors, and visitors to maintain and improve its historical collections and to continue its educational activities.

Volunteers act as docents, arrange exhibits and lectures, organize fund-raisers and social activities, and preserve Society records for the Santa Ynez Valley Historical Museum.
