Larner Vineyard is a 34-acre family owned vineyard located in the Santa Ynez Valley along Ballard Canyon. The vineyard rolls down a south facing slope and is planted in mostly sandy soils. Of the 34 acres planted in grapes, there are 22 acres of syrah, six acres of Grenache, two acres of Mourvedre, and two and a half of Viognier plus one and a half acres of Malvasia Bianca. Since 2001, Larner Vineyard has established itself as a premium vineyard site selling grapes to acclaimed wineries throughout Santa Barbara County and has gained notoriety from leading wine critics. UC Davis graduate Michael Larner runs the vineyard with his family and maintains a reputation for meticulous farming practices and top quality fruit.
*2009 marks the first vintage wine release for the new Larner Winery and Vineyard brand. Winemaker Michael Larner produces limited production, ultra-premium wines from Larner Vineyard grapes.

Viognier keeps us on our toes. It’s a variety we’re especially proud to farm. It’s not always easy, but when it works, it shines - especially in Ballard Canyon. ✨

Imagine our pride reading Billy Norris’s words in Vinous about the 95-point SITE 2024 Viognier Larner Vineyard:

“Quite possibly the finest Viognier in Santa Barbara County.”

Then he doubled down:

“The best Viognier I’ve ever tasted from Santa Barbara County.”

Those are fightin’ words! 🥂

Thank you Billy Norris, Vinous and Antonio Galloni. And a special thank-you to Jeremy Weintraub for doing our grapes proud!

A big congratulations to the awesome family of Larner Vineyard-designate w**es that knocked it out of the park with sky-high scores from Jeb Dunnuck ! 🍷🌟

We could not be prouder to be the source of top-scoring Ballard Canyon and Santa Barbara County fruit—Syrah, Grenache and Viognier—made into such beautiful w**es by such talented w**emakers.

A special thank you to Jeb for recognizing Larner Vineyard as both a “top terroir” and “one of the top sites in Ballard Canyon,” and for giving these w**es such impressive, age-worthy drinking windows. And when Larner fruit inspires comparisons to Cornas and Gigondas, well… that makes a farming family pretty darn happy. ❤️🍇

Congratulations to all our w**ery partners. We grow the grapes, but you make them shine! 🥂

We’re still celebrating an intimate evening with the amazing folks from Los Padres ForestWatch. Their mission, true understanding of the importance of advocacy and committment to protecting the Central Coast speak to Larner in a very big way. We’re proud to collaborate with the folks who share the importance of environmental sustainability of our for future generations.

An enormous thank you to Krista, High on the Hog and Rock 12 Distillery for delivering nothing less than a perfect night for our guests at the vineyard.

Happy Father’s Day to two very special dads, Stevan and Michael.

Their family-first approach and pioneering spirit have paved the way for the unique, organically grown and artisanal w**es you enjoy today. Rooted deep in our Ballard canyon soil, we celebrate the Larner family legacy and keep our founding father’s spirit alive each and every day.

Even our slithering are welcome at a farmed vineyard to help control rodents. This gophersnake seems to have enjoyed a meal or two out here among the vines. Coupled with boxes peppered throughout the property hopefully we can keep the varmints in check. Gopher control is always a bit ironic for the Larner Family since one of the founders was the on the movie. Always thinking of you Stevan Larner, DP. **ecountry

Last couple of days have had clouds and . Vines are indulging in the mild warmth and the sky’s putting on quite the of a show. Flowering not too far off, it’s all about good canopy growth and shoot thinning (the process of removing excess vegetative shoots to open up the canopy for more airflow and less sun blocking of grapes). **ecountry
