Established in 1973, Zaca Mesa is a family-owned and operated winery with a long-standing history in Santa Barbara County. As the first vineyard to plant Syrah in the area in 1978, Zaca Mesa has since helped pioneer the Santa Barbara Rhône movement through an unwavering dedication to Syrah and Rhône varietals. Combining traditional old-world winemaking practices with innovative farming and vineyard techniques, Zaca Mesa continues its legacy as a producer of high-quality California Rhône-style wines that are true reflections of the vineyard and appellation. Continuing Zaca Mesa’s legacy today is Winemaker Kristin Bryden, who was promoted to Winemaker in 2016, along with Craig Ebersole as Assistant Winemaker. Driven by passion and integrity, Bryden takes a hands-on, artisanal approach to crafting quality wines that reflect Zaca Mesa’s unique site. We invite you to enjoy a tasting or glass of wine in our courtyard or on the terrace to experience the true beauty of our estate overlooking our vineyards and the San Rafael Mountains.

Our most dedicated regulars don't drink w**e. Acorn woodpeckers spend their days collecting acorns and stuffing them into the exterior walls of our w**ery. Every day. Pretty much every hour.

They're known for storing thousands of acorns to come back for during the winter. Whether they'll actually be able to retrieve the ones they've tucked into our walls remains to be seen.

Bless their hearts for trying.

What's the oldest vintage you've ever tasted? Tell us the year in the comments! We'd love to see how far back everyone's w**e memories go.

Some w**es are worth the wait, and this November, we're bringing a few of them out of the cellar.

From November 5–9, 2026, w**eries along the Foxen Canyon W**e Trail are opening their libraries for Library & Legacy W**e Weekend.

Think rare library w**es, aged vintages, vertical tastings, and special selections that don't make it onto the everyday tasting menu.

At Zaca Mesa, we're sharing aged Rhône varietals, including a rare 30th Anniversary Magnum selection.

Whether you're discovering a new w**ery or revisiting an old favorite, there's something special waiting to be poured.

Save this post for your next w**e country adventure, and visit the link in our bio to explore the participating w**eries and plan your tasting!

It’s a Wednesday night, but it doesn’t have to feel like one.

We’re taking over The Inn at Mattei's Tavern on Wednesday, November 4, from 5–7 PM to help celebrate their 140th anniversary! They’re honoring the pioneering w**eries of Santa Barbara County, and we’re proud to be one of them.

Our w**emaker, Kristin Bryden, will be behind the bar pouring two Zaca Mesa favorites: our 2025 Grenache Blanc and 2018 Mesa Reserve Syrah.

Enjoy $10 glasses of w**e, signature cocktails, live music, and a chance to chat with Kristin about the w**es.

The girls aren't going out. They're going discovering...
Because these days, the perfect weekend looks a little different. Think scenic drives, vineyard views, long lunches, and trying w**es you've never heard of.

No need to be a w**e expert. Just bring your favorite people, a little curiosity, and nowhere else you need to be.

Your w**e girl era is calling. See you at Zaca Mesa! 🤎

Who decided w**ery events had to be all about the w**e?

We'd like to have a word. Preferably over a perfectly cooked steak, fresh seafood, and a glass of Zaca Mesa w**e. Lakeside dining at Camp Zaca brings a whole new meaning to private corporate group dinners with a view. Incredible food, beautiful w**es, and a private setting in Santa Ynez Valley that deserves a spot on your next event agenda.

Special thanks to for bringing the delicious steaks and seafood.

The kind of post our cellar team gets to brag about a little. 🍷

The latest reviews from Billy Norris at are in, with some exciting scores across the Zaca Mesa lineup, including 95 points for the 2020 Estrella Syrah, 94 points for the 2023 Roussanne, and 93 points for both the 2025 Grenache Blanc and 2022 Mesa Reserve Syrah.

We’re especially proud because every bottle represents a lot of time, care, and work from our vineyard and cellar teams.

Always nice to see that work recognized. Cheers to the team behind the w**es. 🥂
