Beckmen Vineyards is a family owned and operated winery, with a reputation for producing high quality wines in Santa Barbara’s wine country. We were one of the first certified biodynamic vineyards in Santa Barbara County and are one of the largest certified vineyards in California. Our wines are crafted from grapes cultivated on two vineyards: the certified biodynamic Purisima Mountain Vineyard (125 acres planted) in the esteemed Ballard Canyon AVA, and the Thomas and Judith Beckmen Vineyard (25 acres planted) in the Los Olivos District AVA. We focus on Rhône varietals, primarily Syrah and Grenache, as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, and several others.
