McKinney Family Vineyards - MFV Winemaking Facility

McKinney Family Vineyards’ MFV Winemaking Facility in Buellton, California, offers private tastings and tours at the family-owned winery’s production location. The distinction matters when planning a visit: this is the Industrial Way address, not the McKinney family’s vineyard estate on Edison Street in Santa Ynez. The focus is limited-production wine, with single-vineyard, single-variety bottlings alongside fuller-bodied red blends.

Owner and director of winemaking Matt McKinney brings a Santa Ynez native’s connections to the operation, with cellar experience at Sunstone, Dierberg Star Lane, and Dragonette Cellars. Head winemaker Justice Massara adds vineyard experience from Napa Valley’s Mount Veeder and a winemaking certificate from the University of California, Davis. Their backgrounds give this small family operation a grounding in both vineyard work and cellar practice.

At 86 Industrial Way, private tastings and tours are available by reservation seven days a week, between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. This is a planned appointment rather than a drop-in tasting stop. Reservations and location-specific arrangements go through [email protected] or (805) 395-2093.
