27 Vines LLC

27 Vines combines small-lot wines, private tastings, and overnight stays in California’s Santa Ynez Valley. Dianne and Dan are the people behind the property, where vineyard rows share space with an olive grove and flower gardens. Wine is one part of the appeal rather than the whole story: estate-grown olive oil and heirloom flowers also have a place here, including a seasonal club offering four months of farm-grown dahlias. The emphasis is on a slower wine-country visit, with room for an afternoon tasting or a weekend stay.

Wine tastings are private experiences arranged by inquiry. A separate guided olive oil tasting pairs the estate’s limited-release oil with local bread, cheeses, and seasonal bites—a worthwhile option for visitors interested in what grows beyond the vines. Two private bungalows provide an overnight base among the vineyards. The grounds include a pool with fountains, a bocce court, fire pits, and mountain views. For travelers choosing between another tasting stop and somewhere to settle in, the bungalows give 27 Vines a distinct role in a Santa Ynez itinerary.
