    Hotel Hygge

    Takes Your Vacation to a Whole New Level

    When you think of a getaway to the Santa Ynez Valley, the Danish art of being cozy probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. But at Hotel Hygge, we think that maybe it should be.

    See, hygge isn’t just about warm socks and steaming mugs of tea—it’s about kicking back and enjoying the simple things in life. It’s feeling the wind on your face as you bike through rolling, vineyard-lined hills. It’s enjoying the mellow hops and the soft fizz of a West Coast IPA. It’s getting lost in a late-night conversation around an outdoor firepit.

    At Hotel Hygge, every single amenity and every last room is designed to indulge your senses. Enjoy ultra-soft throw blankets and rich, scented bath products. Relax in a comfortable, succulent-studded courtyard and play on a perfectly pebbly bocce ball court.

    Here, you’ll find that simple pleasures make a Santa Ynez Valley getaway even more enjoyable.

    Brick Barn

    Wine Estate

    Since the 1800s, the Brick Barn Wine Estate has been a place of farming, ranching, Arabian horse breeding, and entrepreneurship.

    We now fulfill its destiny as a premium wine estate.

    Our winemaking philosophy is to stay as true to the estate vineyard as possible. In light of our unique location and non-invasive farming practices, we believe that our fruit provides all of the natural ingredients needed to produce wines of personality and distinction.

    We never stop seeking new ways to accentuate what the fruit in each block is telling us. Through continual exploration, we will always aim to produce wines that capture the intention of the land and its potential for greatness.

    BWC was founded in 2005 by Master Sommelier Paolo Barbieri. Prior to 2005, Paolo started making very small lots in his garage in Las Vegas. This eventually evolved into forming Barbieri Wine Company to set out to produce his own wine. The objective was to produce Rhone Varietals from top vineyards located in Santa Barbara County. The approach was simple: work with great growers and use minimalistic wine making techniques without heavy oak influence. Before and during the development of Barbieri Wine Company, Paolo worked in the restaurant business for over 30 years managing numerous world class wine lists from Europe and later in the United States exposing him to the best wines in the world, which ultimately shaped his approach for his own wines. During this time, Erin Kempe joined Paolo, and together they continued to fulfill their passion for wine making and developing hand-crafted boutique wines.

The Barracks have taken great pride over the years in being stewards of the land and along with their wine maker Doug Margerum, have created something that is unique to the beauty and richness of the place.
