Where To Wine Taste In Santa Barbara County: LINCOURT VINEYARDS, Solvang, California

Located just outside of the charming Danish village of Solvang, California, Lincourt is surrounded by California pepper trees and overlooking the Alamo Pintado vineyard.

Lincourt retains the rural charm and simplicity of a by-gone era. Once a dairy property, the old farmhouse, an original 1926 Sears Craftsmen Kit Home, serves as Lincourt’s Tasting Room.

The wineries grounds, lawns and gardens are ideal for a casual picnic and tasting with family and friends.

The winery has a number of indoor and outdoor locations for private parties and events.

Lincourt Vineyards was founded by Bill Foley in 1996 in the Sta. Rita Hills in what was then a largely undiscovered region of Santa Barabara County. Today it is one of California’s most coveted, cool-climate, viticultural regions. 

Lincourt’s wines are produced entirely from estate vineyards within the Sta. Rita Hills AVA using sustainable and modern techniques

With vineyards in the cool Santa Maria Valley and the warmer Santa Ynez Valley, Lincourt Vineyards produce world-class wines from both Bordeaux and Burgundian varieties.  

Lorna Kreutz-Winemaker. Many of the wines offered by Lincourt carry the names of women who have influenced and shaped founder Bill Foley’s life including his wife, mother, grandmother, and aunt.
